The Best Hotels in Italy: 16. Belmond Villa San Michele, Fiesole-Florence ShareGrid View Readers' Rating: 86.836 Sitting up in the hills of Florence’s Fiesole, this former monastery remains one of Italy’s most legendary hotels mainly because of the feeling of being in its own idyllic world floating above the Renaissance city, with landscaped gardens, an excellent cooking school, and pool. One could almost forget all the attractions right outside the gates.

The Best Hotels in Italy:18. Park Hatt Milan ShareGrid View Readers' Rating: 86.537 If you need a break from the somewhat chintzy and overblown style of some other Milanese favorites you've come to the right place. Here, clean lines and soothing colors create a cocooning effect and the multi-lingual staff exemplifies the kind of spot-on service the brand has made famous worldwide.

The Best Hotels in Italy:21. Grand Hotel Villa Cora, Florence ShareGrid View Readers' Rating: 86.250 A wedding gift from a baron to his lucky bride, this luxurious 19th century property continues to feel like a private home, albeit one with 46-rooms kitted out with neoclassical treasures.

Grand Hotel Tremezzo, Lake Como ShareGrid View Readers' Rating: 86.179 This 80-room, 12-suite Art Nouveau-style hotel has panoramic windows that offer 360-degree views of Lake Como.

The Best Hotels in Italy:24. Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, Lake Como ShareGrid View Readers' Rating: 86.126 Although Lake Como can feel ultra-private and secluded, the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni makes it feel like the center of the world. The hotel offers regular excursions to Bergamo, Lugano, Saint Moritz, and the Borromean Islands, but it’s also worth staying put in the evenings to take in the nightly live music in the lounge or a cleansing visit to the sauna.

The Best Hotels in Italy: 25. Belmond Hotel Splendido & Splendido Mare, Portofino The setting lives up to the name at this two-building property. One part of the hotel, on a hillside, is a 16th-century former monastery once attacked by Saracen pirates; the Mare half is on the town's piazzetta by the lively harbor. Rooms mostly come with balconies; some offer panoramic views of Portofino cove. Don’t miss the heated saltwater pool. La Terrazza specializes in local seafood dishes.

The Best Hotels in Italy:30. St. Regis Rome The St. Regis is in many ways fabulous, but its trump card is its unmatched attention to detail. From stylish touches like Murano glass lamps and painted frescoes, to the original artwork by Luca Pignatelli, Ubaldo Bartolini and Paolo Fiorentino, each of its 138 guest rooms and 23 suites feel unique and personal. The hotel’s Le Grand bar is considered by many as Rome’s best; order their signature Mediterranean Bloody Mary and decide for yourself.

The Best Hotels in Italy:31. Hotel de Russie, Rome Located between the Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo, the 89-room Hotel de Russie is in the center of the action—though you wouldn’t know it from the inside.

The Best Hotels in Italy: 32. Hotel Lungarno, Florence Unlike many five-star hotels in the area, the Hotel Lungarno feels understatedly and effortlessly stylish—it is, after all, owned by the family of designer Salvatore Ferragamo. Its bright, airy rooms are decorated in clean yellow and ivory tones and feature picture-perfect vistas over the Ponte Vecchio and River Arno. Keep your eyes peeled for its impressive art collection, featuring works by Picasso and Cocteau.
