Where to stay in Italy

Our guide on where to stay in Italy

Accommodation in Italy is truly captivating. Italy’s hoteliers have been refining their craft for centuries, and wherever you stay you’ll be sure to enjoy the most gracious hospitality, stylish presentation, and impeccable attention to detail.

In Italy’s cities, guests can enjoy the full range of hotel options: from gorgeously restored and breathlessly atmospheric Venetian or Florentine mansions, to the cutting edge of modern style in Milan or Turin. Italy’s capital – the eternal city of Rome – is a particularly compelling destination, with some truly elegant boutique properties to choose from spread across a number of highly fashionable and memorable Roman neighborhoods.

Venture out into rural Italy and the accommodations become yet more alluring and characterful. Drink in the views (literally!) in a Tuscan vineyard retreat; sample a simple yet highly refined, food-led lifestyle at a Sicilian agriturismo; or roll back the centuries, spending a night inside a medieval-era trulli in Puglia or a breathtaking cave hotel in Matera. 

Glamour and glitz and never far away in Italy. Those looking for the finest accommodation should head north to the epic Amalfi coast, enjoying pure luxury amongst its impossibly beautiful clifftop towns of Ravello, Sorrento, and Positano. Further north, try the Italian lakes: where you’ll enter a whole new world of high-class luxury, residing in epic waterfront palaces which remain historic and present favorites of the European elite and Hollywood royalty.
