$$, Fiesole
Fodor's Review:
The attractive hotel on the main piazza takes advantage of its hilltop spot, with beautiful views in many of the rooms, some of which are on two levels with beamed ceilings and balconies. The building, constructed as a theater in 1860, was transformed into a hotel in the late 19th century. It's fit for queens, and quite a few of them -- Queen Victoria and Margherita di Savoia among others -- have stayed here. Rooms are sophisticated but understated, as is the hotel.
