The Best Hotels in Italy

Guides and recommendations to help find the perfect hotel, agriturism, B&B, or rental room in Italy no matter what your budget—from inexpensive gems to worthy splurges

Whether you're looking for a room overlooking the Grand Canal in Venice, a frescoed palazzo in Florence, or a cheap hotel in the heart of Rome, we've got the best hotels in all of Italy gathered here in one place.

Over the decade I spent writing guidebooks for Frommer's, Dummies, and Dorling Kindersley/Eyewitness, I've stayed in literally hundreds upon hundreds of hotels throughout Italy. These are my absolute favorites, the ones that I recommend to friends and family and that, when given a choice, I would stay in myself.
