Lobby is airy and open, with all-white seating and palmy plants. Crisp rooms (also done up in whites), rock wood floors and free WiFi.

Generous size and modern furnishings so rooms live like home, only with housekeeping.

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

Conveniently located just a 10-min drive from the airport and 20 minutes from Piazzale Roma.

No need to even cross water to get to the historic Rialto Bridge, and just a quick single canal-hop to St. Mark's.

This former monastery expertly combines old-school appeal (like wood-beam ceilings) with modern amenities.

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.

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!)

Relaxing location situated just steps from Lake Garda.

A 10-minute bus or shuttle ride to the historic centre. Your gondolier will take it from there.

Mere minutes from the train station and steps from the bus stop, which makes coming and going a breeze.

Tucked away in the Dorsoduro district – the ‘real’ Venice, full of shops, restos and artisan boutiques – plus the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.

Sophisticated hotel ideally situated steps from the railway station, getting you to the ancient city within minutes.
