The outdoor pool takes vacay vibes to new heights.

Easy airport, Milan & lakes access via the ultra-close train station (and did we mention you’re right by the medieval town of Bergamo Alta?).

Boasts a dreamy address overlooking the Seriana Valley. Take it all in from the spa’s outdoor pool, panoramic sauna or lounger-lined garden.

Getting in late or heading out early? The airport is 5 min away.

Modern rehab left a few peeks of ancient stone wall to mess with your mind. Ponder over free breakfast.

Former home of nobility, transformed to a hotel back in 1945 and flourishing in its new identity ever since. (5-min walk to the historic centre!)

Don’t look now, but you’re nine stories up, listening to music and sipping a champagne cocktail. Byblos Sky Terrace also comes with a spectacular view.

Spacious rooms with modern décor and super-comfy beds.

Subtly elegant style with expansive backlit photographs of the city in every room.

Just outside Verona, about 6 miles from Juliet’s house. Shakespeare fans? Anyone?

Super easy to get around: Linate Airport is 20 minutes away, the Sesto San Giovanni train station is a ten-minute walk and there’s a bus stop across the street.

Whatever time you stumble in, the 24-hour front desk serves up service with a smile.

Amenities like scented oils make sweet dreams even sweeter.

Newly reno'd rooms, and salty breezes courtesy of the Atlantic, right across the street.
