When ‘golf’ and ‘spa’ are in the name you know they’re both top-notch, and the giant outdoor bio pool is equally amazing.

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!)

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?).

Spot-on location for exploring Trentino’s valleys (assuming you can convince yourself to leave the spa).

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.

Posh rooms are filled with classically-chic decor like handmade furniture, marble bathrooms and oil paintings.

Need free WiFi? You got it.

Convenient spot just a few minutes from the historic heart and 10-min drive to the Vicentina Trade Fair area.

A4’s right there & the airport’s within an easy drive (aka feel free to hit snooze a few more times).

Well-placed for seeing Verona’s biggies like the 13th-century Castello Scaligero and Lake Garda. Go forth and conquer.
