Set within an estate of 200 olive trees is Villa Fontelunga, a boutique retreat
with only nine ensuite rooms. Behind the traditional Tuscan exterior is
a chic retreat that combines classic Italian decor with designer touches.
Delicious meals and spectacular views can be enjoyed from the terrace
or the outdoor gazebos.

“Villa Fontelunga can arrange some fantastic local sight-seeing, whether
it be to wineries, close-by hilltop villages or local restaurants. Or you can
choose to simply relax at the villa and experience the Tuscan way of life.”

Perched on a cliff edge in Sorrento, this ‘180-year-old’ award-winning hotel

offers stunning views over the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. Wander

the lush gardens fi lled with Mediterranean plants, citrus and olive groves

and sample impeccable Neopolitan fare made with local produce from the

hotel’s garden at the Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant, Terazza Bosquet.

“The Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria offers an atmosphere of complete

relaxation. Wander through the tranquil 5-acre private gardens and

indulge in a treatment at the Boutique Spa La Serra.”

Italy is a country that makes an art of enjoyment and

the rich history and vibrant culture offers a fertile ground

for incredible hotel experiences.
