Much has been written and sung about Italy. Repubblica Italiana is often referred to as “Bel Paese” which means “beautiful country.” It is also the birthplace of gelato, a type of ice cream, and the origin of more than 350 types of pasta. At the northern crown of the Italian peninsula is the rugged Alps. From there, the best word to describe the landscape is diverse. When you travel through Italy, you will discover the cultural differences of one town from the next, not only in the language they speak but also in the food they serve their families. While geography fosters these differences, Italians are united in their love for the land, the arts, sports, and dolce vita (sweet life). Check out the best resorts in Italy.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on March 14, 2024.
