City breaks in Italy
Medieval basilicas and Renaissance palazzi are your stage set on a luxury Italian hotel stay in Romeo and Juliet’s city, Verona. Develop your own take on Italian style in Milan’s exclusive Golden Square, cultivate a taste for Rinascimento masterpieces in cultured Florence, or swirl in candlelit palaces during Venice’s flirtatious carnival. Seek shade in Rome’s Borghese gardens for a taste of la dolce vita.
Beach holidays in Italy
Begin on Sorrento’s seafront on the Amalfi Coast, then explore the peaceful grottos and tranquil marinas on the island of Capri. With Sicily’s opulent clifftop resort Taormina as your base, explore a rich history reflected in exciting Greek- and Arab-influenced cuisine, or glide down in a romantic cable car to Mazzarò’s pebble beach and luxuriate in its cobalt waters.
Italian countryside retreats
Choose exclusive hotels in rural Tuscany for tastings at Chianti wineries between fragrant cypress trees and olive groves. The Alpine Italian Lakes have attracted aristocrats since Roman times. Connoisseurs still seek out their serene villages and opulent villas with sculpture-strewn gardens. In Puglia, taste salty spaghetti alle Vongole with fresh clams and see the unforgettable sea of grey conical roofs in Alberobello.
Book a luxury hotel in Italy with Small Luxury Hotels of the World to stay in grand palazzi with views over the Venetian Grand Canal that inspired Canaletto or the serene waters of Lake Garda. With a glass of Chianti Superiore in your hand, look down on rural landscapes dotted with villas and vineyards.
