Italy luxury hotels

Dear Guest,

it is with great pleasure that we welcome you through the pages of “Luxury Accommodation in Italy”, the finest selection of luxury hotels in Italy, historical estates, country manors and, in some rare but excellent cases, bed and breakfast accommodation you can choose among to plan your deluxe stay in our peninsula.

Browsing through this website you will be delighted by the sight of the very best Italy has to offer you: a historic manor in Veneto, a castle in Chianti, a charming hotel in the Dolomites or in Sicily, a breathtaking suite in Rome or Sorrento. All of them have been selected with utmost care according to strict criteria: quality, beauty, class, comfort, impeccable service. In a word: luxury.

Managing the Italia Lodging website we have been dealing with many different kinds of accommodation over the years, and quality has always been the main keyword in the selection of lodgings to be listed. As the overall level of hotels and country inns grew higher and higher, we soon realised that some of them were somewhat special and tended to stand out both aesthetically and qualitatively: beyond high standards, they had “personality”. They were not simply farm houses or standard hotels, so we thought they deserved particular attention and should be promoted separately in a website that could exalt all their charm and style.

“Luxury Accommodation in Italy” was devised following the exalting idea of creating a “luxury only” network, a garland of incomparable pearls all over Italy which are so different form each other yet all so fascinating, so gorgeous, so luxurious. Just a few selected places, all bookable on-line, for the most demanding clients who plan to spend an exclusive stay in Italy filling their eyes with beauty and wrapping themselves in a soft blanket of comfort, treat and class.

Take your time, have a look. Choosing your destination is not going to be an easy task.

Sea and wonderful views right outside Rome

Over the coast of Latium, right 100 kilometre outside Rome, you find San Felice Circeo, a nice sea resort. The promontory of Circeo, the place where the legend says that Ulysses met Circe, is an exclusive place where some stunning villas have been built during the 60s and 70s.


Here you find the B&B ISOLA DELLA SPARVIERA
http://www.italialodging.com/est/isoladellasparviera/

A small place that concentrates enchanting sceneries beautifully framed by marvels of colours, scents and flavours, this is the Circeo. Yet, the best of everything is the warm and attentive hospitality of Marcela and Alessandro, who welcome you to their small paradise at Isola Della Sparviera bed and breakfast, a charming and exclusive relais. It rises in the middle of the flourishing Mediterranean wood of the National Park of Circeo, facing a marvellous panorama ….

The main structure is located on top of Quarto Caldo reef, not too far from the small town's centre. The property extension follows the natural rock declivity, each structure carefully lying besides vegetation and trees, of which some have become the heart of the indoors decoration in a poetical and harmonious style.

All guestrooms are sea front, decorated with valuable fabrics and the best care in every single detail. Each room has its private bathroom and comfort equipment.

The whole surrounding is a fascinating play of changing colours. An immense landscape discloses 365° around the residence. There is Torre Fico Bay to the south, surrounded by the waves of the most beautiful blue sea. The Pontine Islands to the north, gleam as big emeralds of the sea and seem to make the horizon even larger.

Anatolia lands in Rome

A treasure-packed new exhibition in Rome tells the fascinating 7,000-year-old story of the land occupied by present-day Turkey. The show runs at the Palazzo Quirinale, the official residence of Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, until March 31.

It features 43 precious pieces created by the many peoples that have settled in or conquered the Anatolian peninsular, such as the Hittites, the Greeks, the Romans and the Turks.

The works come from Turkey's top museums including Istanbul's Topkapi Palace - the home of the Ottoman sultans between 1465 and 1853 - and Ankara's Museum of Anatolian Civilizations.Seven of the exhibits have never been loaned outside Turkey before, including a terracotta seal dating back to the seventh millennium BC.

Another of these treasures is a fourth-millennium-BC statuette of a mother deity found at Çatalhöyük, a Neolithic settlement in the plain near the city of Konya."The statuette portrays a woman in the act of giving birth," explained Louis Godart, the exhibition's curator. "The mother deity was a symbol of the land's fertility."
The statue is evidence of the spread of new cults linked to the Neolithic revolution, the move from hunter-gatherer to agricultural society, at that time". A striking gold statue of a women made by Bronze Age craftsmen in the third millennium BC is making its international debut too.Tablets with written records of trade between Assyrian and Hittite merchants take visitors out of pre-historic times. The exhibition then presents objects left behind by the ancient Greeks, Romans and Byzantines.
When Sultan Mehmed II took Constantinople - today Istanbul - in 1453, the Muslim Ottoman dynasty completed its conquest of the peninsular and killed off the Christian Byzantine Empire. The contribution of Islamic culture is demonstrated with exhibits like a beautiful 16th-century Koran studded with precious stones.
A colourful 17th-century portrait of a Turkish woman smelling a flower with a flirtatious look in her eye and a delightful pair of 19th-century gold earrings are among the other highlights from the Ottoman period. Godart said that, when choosing the works, he aimed to stress that Anatolia "reached its cultural high points in the periods when it opened up most to other societies".
The exhibition, entitled Turkey, 7,000 years of History, has been organized to mark the 150th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Turkey-the Ottoman Empire. It was inaugurated on Wednesday during Turkish President Ahmet Necdet Sezer's state visit to Italy.

Entry is free.

The Museum System of the Municipality of Rome is made up of an extremely diverse group of museum spaces and archaeological sites, of huge artistic and historical value. As well as the Capitoline Museums, the oldest public museum in the world, the museums that make up the System include the Museum of Rome, which gathers together the most important examples of the art history of Rome from the Middle Ages to the beginning of the nineteenth century, MACRO, a museum for those interested in contemporary art, the museum of the Villa Torlonia, a perfect meeting point of nature and culture, and the Planetarium and the Astronomical Museum, an ideal destination for anyone wanting to encounter the new frontiers of science. In 2006 it has been enriched by the acquisition of several prestigious new spaces, including the Museum of the Altar of Peace, designed by Richard Meier, and the Carlo Bilotti Museum in the Villa Borghese's Orangery, which contains a collection of works by De Chirico.The wide scope of what is on offer and the numerous initiatives (events and temporary exhibitions) this System of museums hosts, makes it unique in Italy.
