La bell’Italia è per sempre: Legendary hotels full of atmosphere
 

To go back and forth through Italy is as close as one gets to being in paradise. For centuries, writers, artists, architects and merchants have been drawn here, inspired by the wonderful thing about Venice, Florence, Naples and Rome. Countless books, paintings, poems and sculptures are evidence of its undying appeal, and during the last 60 years, the country has turn out to be one of the most world’s top go back and forth and holiday destinations. The loveliness of Italy—its architecture, landscapes, culture and food (one of the most world’s finest!) — if not eternal, is indubitably enduring, and the easy-going and relaxed Italian way of life, il dolce far niente, is still unrivaled.

Here, some of Italy’s most amazing landscapes are brought to life, like Lake Como (place of dwelling of George Clooney), Venice, Florence and Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast, and no less magical, the Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily. In these mythical surroundings are legendary hotels full of atmosphere, where novels are set, movies are made, weddings are celebrated and famous love stories consummated: Villa d’Este on Lake Como, the Hotel Splendido in Portofino, the Il San Pietro on the Amalfi Coast and the Villa Cimbrone in Ravello—to name only a few. But in Great Escapes Italy, TASCHEN also reveals where to find more secret and hidden jewels—from the Locanda Cipriani, a romantic hideaway on the island of Torcello, to the atmospheric Castello di Vicarello in Tuscany.
