Amalfi Coast, Italy
6 Amalfi Coast Hotels With a Private Jetty, So You Never Touch the Coast Road
Before the road was cut in the 1850s the villages were connected by boat. Two hours by car in August is twenty-five minutes by sea.
Florence, Italy
10 Florence Hotels Inside the Centro Storico Where Nothing Needs a Taxi
The camera-enforced traffic zone makes the centre almost car-free. Ten hotels inside it, where the Uffizi and the Duomo are both a walk.
Lake Como, Italy
10 Lake Como Hotels at a Village the Ferry Actually Serves
In the central basin three villages are fifteen minutes apart by boat. At the ends of the lake the same day is a drive behind a coach.
Milan, Italy
10 Milan Hotels in the Quadrilatero That Are Better on a Sunday
Tables that need three weeks' notice on a Thursday are free on a Sunday. Most visitors come midweek and conclude Milan is not worth it.
Naples and Capri, Italy
10 Capri and Naples Hotels Above the Funicular, Not Below It
Every ferry lands at sea level and the island you came for is 140 metres above it. Arrival here is a boat, a funicular and a porter.
Rome, Italy
12 Rome Hotels in the Centro Storico Where Everything Is a Walk
The Pantheon to the Trevi is six minutes. Book near a metro station and you will spend the week underground for no reason.
Venice, Italy
5 Venice Hotels With a Water Door, Where You Arrive by Boat and Never Carry a Bag Over a Bridge
Four hundred stepped bridges and no wheeled vehicles. The palazzi that still use their water entrances remove the problem entirely.
