Whether you're searching for a hidden gem or avoiding the crowds for a more peaceful escape we’ve got you covered:
A Hidden Gem
It’s getting harder to find hidden gems in Italy, but Capo D’orso in Sardinia is just that. Traditional and charming, but serving up delicious dishes like lobster linguine and oozing romance, it’s a wonderful option when you’re seeking authenticity outside of big name hotels.
Hotel: Capo D’orso
Old School Italy
The Amalfi Coast is beautiful, but for an authentic slice of old-school Italy just off its coast try Ischia- the Mezzatorre Hotel is unmatched for its laid-back coastal luxury.
Hotel: Mezzatorre
