Hotel Miramalfi
HotelEurope, Italy
From $850
Hotel Miramalfi sits on the cliffs at the western edge of Amalfi, about ten minutes on foot from the cathedral and the harbor, on Italy’s Amalfi Coast. Built into the rock above the sea, it has sea-view rooms with tiled floors and terraces, a saltwater pool with a poolside bar and a private sea platform for swimming and snorkeling in the Mediterranean.

Experimental Roma
HotelEurope, Italy
From $415
Experimental Roma is the Experimental Group’s first hotel in the Italian capital, set in a historic ochre building on Via Veneto, a short walk from Villa Borghese and the Spanish Steps. Its 82 rooms and suites were designed by French interior architect Rodolphe Parente, who layered rich color, marble, velvet and brass with contemporary art and sculptural lighting. The restaurant, Ludovisi e Cadore, is led by chef Giovanni Passerini, while the group’s signature Experimental Cocktail Club brings its intimate, after-dark atmosphere to Rome. On the roof, La Terrasse pairs a suspended pool with sweeping views over the city.
Aethos Monterosa
HotelEurope, Italy
From $327
Aethos Monterosa is a five-star Alpine lodge in Champoluc, in Italy’s Aosta Valley, set at the foot of the Monte Rosa massif near the Swiss border. Formerly known as CampZero, it was built around mountain sport and still keeps that spirit, with its own indoor ice-climbing wall, bikes to explore Val d’Ayas and easy access to the Monterosa Ski area. Around fifty rooms and suites are finished in warm wood and stone, many with valley or mountain views. Guests unwind in a full spa with an indoor pool, saunas and a fitness area, and two restaurants serve hearty Alpine dishes before and after a day on the slopes or the trails.
Albergo Diffuso Ca’ Spiga
HotelEurope, Italy
From $172
Ca’ Spiga is a small albergo diffuso in Laglio, on the western shore of Lake Como, set within the old stone hamlet of Torriggia Alta, around 200 meters above the water and twenty minutes by car from Como. Its eight rooms are spread across restored village houses, with tiled floors, wooden furnishings and, in many cases, balconies facing the lake. There is no restaurant, but breakfast is a highlight, a generous spread of local products served on a panoramic terrace, and the hosts are known for welcoming guests like old friends. One of the lake’s few beaches, Riva del Tenciu, is a two-minute walk away, and Villa del Balbianello and Bellagio are within easy reach.
Hotel Palazzo Guadagni
HotelEurope, Italy
From $262
Hotel Palazzo Guadagni occupies the upper floors of a palazzo built in the early 16th century by architect Il Cronaca, on Piazza Santo Spirito in Florence’s Oltrarno, a few minutes’ walk from Palazzo Pitti and the Ponte Vecchio. Its loggia was the first in Renaissance Florence to face Brunelleschi’s Basilica of Santo Spirito, and has hosted artists and scholars since the building became a guesthouse in 1912. The 15 rooms are individually furnished, some with frescoed ceilings, antique fireplaces or views of the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio. Today the loggia is a rooftop bar serving Tuscan wines at sunset, above one of the city’s most lived-in neighborhoods, known for its artisans and antique shops.
Sextantio Le Grotte Della Civita
HotelEurope, Italy
From $190
Sextantio Le Grotte della Civita is a hotel set inside the Sassi of Matera, one of the oldest continuously inhabited towns in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its 18 rooms are former cave dwellings carved into the rock, restored with minimal furniture that leaves the stone, the vaulted ceilings and the shape of each space as they were. Most have freestanding baths, and outside, a shared terrace looks across the canyon of the Murgia national park. Breakfast is served in a 13th-century rock church next to the hotel. The cathedral is a two-minute walk away, and the hotel organises guided walks, hikes and bike tours through Matera and the surrounding canyon.
Hotel Castello di Reschio
HotelEurope, Italy
From $1,290
Hotel Castello di Reschio occupies a thousand-year-old castle at the heart of a 3,700-acre private estate on the Umbria–Tuscany border, surrounded by oak forests, meadows, olive groves and distant hills. Inside, the Bolza family has turned the castle into 36 highly individual rooms and suites filled with antiques, custom furniture, four-poster beds and beautifully eccentric details, while the rest of the estate unfolds through a lake, stables, restaurants, a bathhouse, organic gardens and one of the most photographed pools in Italy.
Relais La Foleia
VillaEurope, Italy
From $702
La Foleia is an unusually private retreat near Lake Maggiore, composed of an octagonal villa and a neoclassical pavilion reflected in a lake filled with lotus flowers and water lilies. Frescoed rooms, English-style verandas, botanical gardens and a secluded wellness area create an almost cinematic setting, while the scale keeps the experience closer to a private estate than a conventional hotel.
Palazzo Daniele
HotelEurope, Italy
From $450
Palazzo Daniele occupies a 19th-century aristocratic residence in Gagliano del Capo, at the southern tip of Puglia. Rather than filling the palazzo with decoration, the renovation stripped much of it back, allowing original frescoes, mosaic floors, high ceilings and weathered walls to carry the space. Contemporary art and sculptural design pieces sit against that historic backdrop, giving the hotel a character that is both grand and almost monastic
