Italy slurge
I was hoping to plan "one" splurge (fabulous hotel) in Italy. I realize everyone has different tastes, which city and hotel would you splurge for?
Thank you all =) Natalie |
Positano !
Poseidon or Palazzo Murat is a splurge for me. |
Where in Italy are you going? There are fabulous splurge hotels all over the country!
|
When you choose your splurge remember that your splurge money will go a lot further in some places in Italy than in others. For example, a modest hotel in Venice may seem like a splurge. For your itinerary I think Hotel Lungarno in Florence would be my splurge. The other locales are splurge enough.

Eleni,
I'm going for my honeymoon 16 nights: 1) Venice -Maybe Lake Garda 2) Florence 3) Tuscany 4) Positano -Maybe a few nights in Ravello 5) Rome How do you suggest I spend my 16 nights? I'm open to your recommendations. We have a reasonable budget $500+ per night for hotels. Thanks in advance, Natalie |
$500 per night?! That's easily 3 times my budget! For that rate you could find a splurge at every locale. If you do go to Garda, check out Villa Cortine Palace.

Hi Natc,
There were really so many great ideas on your other thread! I loved Rex's idea, I copied and pasted the thread for you. Grand Hotel Villa Feltrinelli, the site is www.villafeltrinelli.com, It's on Lake Gardo. Now that is my idea of a splurge! Have fun! :) T. |
I think with a budget of $500.00 a night one could splurge all over Italy!! Do have a wonderful honeymoon natc!
|
Indeed LoveItaly, indeed!

<We have a reasonable budget $500+ per night for hotels>
For your "one splurge" you mean to spend even MORE than $500 per night? If that's your average nightly hotel budget, you can easily splurge every place you stay. |
Look at the website fot Hotel Russie in Rome. Fabulous.
|
It would be a toss-up for me between Le Sirenuse or Hotel Poseidon in Positano, and Hotel Lungarno or Villa San Michele in Florence/Fiesole.
|
For me about 300 euro ($400) was as much of a splurge as I needed in Roma and Positano. I'd consider spending extra budget on meals, or a nice souvenir to take home.
|
This price range is out of my league, but I'd suggest looking at the Luxury Hotels forum at Flyertalk.com .
Also, if you are planning to spend about 400 Euros per night, consider whether you want an "ordinary" room at a very "top" hotel, or perhaps a suite at a slightly "lesser" hotel. I seem to recall that there are special deals with AMEX and getting upgrades with certain luxury hotels, but you can no doubt find that out at Flyertalk.com . |
La Saracina in Tuscany near Pienza
http://www.lasaracina.it/menu_eng.htm Very, very, very romantic and way under $500 per night. Tuscany is much less expensive than Rome, Venice etc... |
Oh, sorry, you asked for a splurge...San Michelle. I have never stayed there, but I have dreamed of it many times.

Have a look at the websites for Travel & Leisure and Conde Nast Traveler - they both have annual best hotel in the world lists (compiled from reader opinions/experiences) . I've stayed at seveal of those listed for business (and even one or two for vacation) and they have all been fabulous.

I saw this old post from two years ago. Thanks fodors for your HELP back then! I came in handy for most of my recent trip.

I agree with Grasshoppers suggestion of Hotel Lungarno in Florence.Beautiful hotel and rooms, plus right on the river
