Livro The Hotel Book - Great Escapes Italy

In Italy, art and life are intertwined. This visual journey offers glimpses of rural landscapes, high culture and divine food, all spied through the doors and windows of the country's most impressive hotels. Beautiful photographs of hideaways and properties from Venice to Sicily offer fabulous accommodation suggestions for your next dolce vita getaway. Angelika Taschen takes us to hidden gems across the country, describing each escape through extensive photography and key information. Here, some of the most incredible landscapes in Italy and diverse regions come to life, such as Tuscany, Umbria, the Amalfi Coast and, no less magical, the Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily. In this mythical environment you can find legendary hotels full of atmosphere, where novels are set, films are made, weddings are celebrated and famous love stories are consummated: Villa d'Este on Lake Como, the Hotel Pellicano in Porto Ercole, the Il San Pietro on the Amalfi Coast and Palazzo Margherita in Basilicata - to name just a few. Angelika Taschen also reveals where to find more secret and hidden gems - from Locanda Cipriani, a foodie destination on the island of Torcello, to romantic Castello di Vicarello in Tuscany and atmospheric Masseria Moroseta in Puglia.
