OUR FAVORITE HOTELS IN Italy
A good hotel can really enhance your trip with that extra vacation feeling. Whether you’re planning a city break or a road trip through Italy, this list of our favorite spots will help you find a delightful hotel. During our travels, we always seek out hotels with something unique to offer, whether it’s a rooftop terrace, a lovely pool, or that perfect atmosphere that completes the hotel experience. Location is also key, close to attractions and restaurants. All of these hotels are very popular, so it’s wise to book early if you want to stay here.
Please note: We mention ‘starting prices’. Hotel prices can vary greatly depending on your travel dates and how far in advance you book. The starting price may therefore differ significantly when booking late and/or traveling during peak season.
