Italy's most beautiful hotels | Best 5-star hotels ranking

Charming locations, impeccable service and very often small facilities. Condé Nast Traveler has compiled a ranking of the best hotels in Italy.

Best hotels in Italy

The most beautiful hotels are luxury residences with original frescoes and period furniture, providing guests with impeccable service and first-class dining, spa and wellness facilities.

Most of the most beautiful structures in our country are housed in historical residences, castles and palaces from the Renaissance and 19th century.

Contrary to what one might think, the prices for sleeping in these hotels are not always totally prohibitive, starting from 200/250 euro per night for two people depending on the rooms. In the same hotel, a suite can cost as much as 2000 euro per night.
