Belmond Villa San Michele, Florence Nestled in the hills of Fiesole, the Belmond Villa San Michele is an exquisite former monastery turned luxury hotel. It's also home to a renowned cooking school where you can learn to make perfect pasta and other Tuscan delights. It's a bit outside the city center, but the views and tranquility make up for it. Make sure to dine at their restaurant with panoramic views over Florence.

Palazzo Manfredi, Rome Just a stone's throw from the Colosseum, Palazzo Manfredi combines history, elegance, and gastronomy. Its rooftop restaurant, Aroma, offers Michelin-starred cuisine with a view that's to die for. On the downside, the hustle and bustle of central Rome isn't for everyone. If you fancy venturing out, head to Trastevere for amazing local eateries.





L'Albereta Relais & Chateaux, Lombardy For wine-loving couples, L'Albereta in Lombardy's Franciacorta wine region is a dream come true. The hotel is surrounded by vineyards and even offers bespoke wine tours. While the décor may feel dated to some, the excellent wine and food make up for it. Don't miss out on a meal at their gourmet restaurant, LeoneFelice.




Belmond Hotel Caruso, Amalfi Coast The Belmond Hotel Caruso offers the very best of the Amalfi Coast – breathtaking views, luxury, and of course, incredible food. Try their cooking class to master the art of Neapolitan pizza. While the hotel can get crowded in peak season, the charm is irresistible. Ravello is full of amazing eateries, but the hotel's own Belvedere Restaurant is a must-try.

The Gritti Palace, Venice Right on the Grand Canal, The Gritti Palace is a symbol of Venetian charm and hospitality. Their Club del Doge restaurant serves amazing seafood. However, Venice can be a little overwhelming with tourists. Take a gondola ride to the quieter Cannaregio district for more great food spots.
