Italy hotel recommendations
Ortea Palace Luxury Hotel, Syracuse
Standing at the entrance to Ortigia Island, this landmark hotel has a wonderful history. Dating back to the 1920’s, it was known as “Palazzo delle Poste” to the locals but in the present day, it offers the perfect base to explore Syracuse’s architectural treasures.
Sextantio le Grotte della Civita, Matera
Transforming Matera’s medieval sassi into a boutique hotel like no other, Sextantio le Grotte della Civita is your chance to live like Matera’s inhabitants did for centuries. All of the rooms have been carved out of the honey-coloured tufa stone and left gorgeously untouched and rustic, with candles illuminating every nook and cranny. It’s a biblical setting that feels ever so romantic, one that also has an edge-of-the-world feel with its dramatic position overlooking La Gravina ravine and more of Matera’s rock-hewn dwellings on its far side.
Maison La Minervetta, Sorrento
Dramatically clinging to granite cliffs, Maison La Minervetta is one of Sorrento's hippest seaside retreats. It possesses some of the finest views in the area, with the sea-facing rooms almost feeling like they're hovering over the water and whose giant picture windows offer cinematic panoramas of the Bay of Naples and the unmistakable volcanic cone of Vesuvius. The hotel itself embodies its coastal setting, feeling very Mediterranean and nautical in its style with a colour palette of bright whites, reds and blues (often employed à la deckchair stripes).
Monastero Santa Rosa, Amalfi Coast
Formerly a 17th century Monastery, this luxurious boutique hotel has a dramatic setting perched majestically on a sheer cliff overlooking the Bay of Salerno so each room comes with a swoon-worthy sea view. Cocoon yourself with a peaceful atmosphere, impeccable service and the finest Italian cuisine.
Palazzo Margherita, Bernalda
If The Godfather trilogy was Francis Ford Coppola’s movie masterpiece, then Palazzo Margherita is his architectural zenith. Rescuing this nineteenth-century palace from rack and ruin, he completely restoring it to its previous pomp. All of the Coppola family have added their own sparkle to the rooms, filled with luxury furnishings, ceiling frescoes and paintings. Palazzo Margherita draws plenty of comparisons to The Godfather, being the setting for Francis’ daughter Sofia's wedding and paying homage to the Italian generations of yesteryear.
Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo, Taormina

Masseria Torre Coccaro, Savelletri
Housed in a sixteenth-century farmstead among ancient olive groves, rustic charm has never abated here with quaint courtyards and the spa snuggled up in caves once utilised as the farm’s olive mill. It won’t come as a surprise that so much of life at Masseria Torre Coccaro revolves around food. It’s an unwritten rule that you’re not allowed to go hungry and with activities like traditional cooking classes, wine-tasting sessions and poolside snacks and cocktails on tap, it will be pretty hard to anyway.
