The 5 star Augustus Hotel is the largest and most elegant of the hotels in beautiful Forte Dei Marmi along the upscale section of the Italian Riviera. Spread out over a large tree-laden estate, this large private beach-front facility contains the finest sand which gently flows into the blue Mediterranean Sea. This Tyrrhenian seaside resort is further enhanced by warm weather and enchanting vistas. The hotel contains a large heated swimming pool surrounded by trees, flowers and tropical palms, along with a fitness room, and 5 clay tennis courts.

The chefs and service-oriented banquet staff of the hotel will be working in concert with the professional kosher chefs of Minkowitz Caterers of Milan. They will create a fantastic culinary experience drawing the best of Italian, continental and traditional Jewish fare. Their incomparable Passover culinary delicacies will be under the Kashruth Supervision of Rabbi G.M. Garelik of Milan. Your hosts will, once again, be the Minkowitz family.

Traditional Orthodox services along with thought-provoking lectures and discussions, children's programs, plus exciting optional sightseeing tours will round out a truly unique Pesach experience.

Nearby to the hotel is a host of sporting opportunities ranging from golf to boating, fishing, and horseback riding. The hundreds of chic shops and very Italian boutiques in Forte Dei Marmi are a few minutes walk (or relaxing bicycle ride) from the hotels. With Pisa and the medieval walled city of Lucca but a half hour away and the cultural and historical center of Florence only 1 hour away, the sightseeing and shopping possibilities are endless in this breathtaking region of Tuscany. (Venice and Milan are each a 2½ hour drive.)
