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!)

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

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.

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

Nestled on the hills just outside the city and only a 10-min drive from the centre.

This peaceful getaway features a relaxing wellness center with a heated indoor pool, salt cave and sauna.

Views, views, views – take 'em in from your private balcony, the poolside loungers or the panoramic terrace at the onsite resto.

This gem boasts low-whistle-worthy mountain views, an address in the heart of the town centre & easy access to the slopes.

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?).

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