Villa Abbazia

Hotel and restaurant in a village (Follina)
This 17th century palazzo reveals its charms in a discrete manner which will capture your heart as soon as you see it. Tranquil and intimate, the Villa Abbazia has another ace up its sleeve: a unique location at the crossroads of numerous treasures. At the juncture of the rose-coloured stone of the Dolomites, the Prosecco route - a delicious white wine from the region - and the romantic splendours of Treviso and Venice, there's only one thing wrong with this residence: your choices are too vast. For golfers, the 18-hole course in Asolo - christened “the town of one hundred horizons” - will merely make this dilemma even more difficult…

Hotel Duchessa Isabella

Hotel and restaurant in town (Ferrara)
This splendid 16th century residence, located in the town centre, provides an atmosphere of exceptional beauty. With 16th century doors, colorful frescos by masters from the Ferrara school, period fireplace columns, and a dining room, enhanced by a coffered ceiling embellished with pure gold friezes, you shall truly feel that you have received a “gourmet invitation to Este’s Court” - Isabella d’Este, a lover of sympsia and banquets, commissioned the first service in engraved porcelain by Nicola da Urbino in 1490. This stunning residence includes a private park, bar, lounges, meeting rooms, restaurant, hotel and parking garage. The bedrooms and suites are each individually decorated, the unique style of each reflecting the name it was given.

Hotel Gardena Grödnerhof

Hotel and restaurant in the mountains (Ortisei/Val Gardena, Dolomiti)
For a long time called the Monti Pallidi (“Pale Mountains”), the Dolomites with their pastel shades have fascinated everyone who has the fortune to discover these legendary mountains. A paradise for via ferrata, they are also a favourite resort for winter skiers and summer hikers. In this garden of extraordinary stones, more than 1,500 plant species are tucked away, including various types of orchids. After a full day, you will appreciate the chic and warm atmosphere at Gardena Grödnerhof. This property has a superb beauty, spa and fitness centre extending over more than 1,300 m2, and guests tend to gather in the Bar & Habana Lounge. The “height” of relaxation and wellness.
(Lys offer valid in low season from 1 November to 31 March – except for mountain properties: from 1 May to 30 November)

Castel Fragsburg

Hotel and restaurant in the mountains (Merano)
In the lovely spa resort of Merano, a former hunting lodge has become a highly sought-after address. The restaurant terraces form an eagle’s nest offering a stunning view of the southern Tyrolean mountains and the Adige river - one of the four largest in Italy. A unique kind of vertigo! And that’s just one of the pleasures awaiting you here, along with the spa, trekking, diving, rafting, water-skiing and strolls under the romantic and colourful arcades of the old town.
(Lys offer valid throughout the year except for weekends (“weekend is defined as the period from Friday evening to Sunday noon included))

Hotel Bellevue

Hotel and restaurant in the mountains (Cogne)
An extraordinary range of sports activities and sublime walks, combined with the breathtaking landscape, are all very good reasons for pushing open the wooden door of the Hotel Bellevue, and nestling in the famous national reserve of Gran Paradiso. But they are not the only reasons… You could also travel to this authentic mountain property for its quality, originality and the diversity of its beauty treatments. Here, the spa is located in a cave and old mountain chalets. “Hay bath”, bath of milk and mountain honey, wine bath… Traditional methods are revisited, between massages and cleansing immersions in the valley water. An exceptional spa.

Hotel Hermitage

Hotel and restaurant in the mountains (Breuil-Cervinia)
Situated on the south side of the Matterhorn, the Cervinia ski resort is one of the highest in the world (peaking at 4,000 metres) and one of the few to cross the Italian-Swiss border. You can choose between slalom on the Swiss side or a descent on the pistes in Aosta Valley. Your passport to dual nationality: a large chalet in the purest of mountain traditions with interiors decked out in warm brown wood equipped with a spa for those relaxing moments after strenuous skiing. Gina Lollobrigida and Sophia Loren all adored this hotel. It’s your turn to succumb to its charms!

Relais San Maurizio

Hotel and restaurant in a vineyard (Santo Stefano Belbo)
We have the Franciscan monks to thank. It is in one of the many buildings they erected in the loveliest and most secluded parts of Italy - here in the Piedmont vineyards - that the Relais San Maurizio was created. The formerly Spartan rooms are now suites with clean and luminous lines and views of the vineyards. Beneath its dry stone arches, between blond wood and Italian mosaics, you can choose between the “Bain barrique” with red wine, the massage with grape seed oil or wraps with honey and Merlot. Another original offering: with the help of trained dogs, you can discover how to hunt for white Alba truffles and taste the fruits of your own labour with a great Piedmont vintage red wine.
(Lys offer valid throughout the year except for weekends (“weekend is defined as the period from Friday evening to Sunday noon included))

La Meridiana

Hotel and restaurant on a golf course (Garlenda)
Quiet please! The curtain goes up, Liguria is about to enter the stage and La Meridiana is waiting in the wings. Nestled between Monte-Carlo and Portofino, this hotel is a paradise for holidays devoted to exploring archaeological sites, museums, abbeys, churches and medieval fortresses. The large park and the 18-hole golf course located in front of the hotel are an oasis of tranquillity and silence. The wind in your hair, your gaze resting on the beautiful rock swimming pool, the sea nearby… At “La Meridiana” every day is truly exceptional.

Villa La Vedetta

Hotel and restaurant in town (Firenze)
“I reached the point where the celestial sensations produced by the Fine Arts and my passionate feelings came to a climax. As I left Santa Croce I had palpitations of the heart; life was drained from me; I walked with the fear of falling.” While travelling in Florence in 1817, Stendhal was bewitched by the beauty of the Tuscan city. His psychic disorder was named “Stendhal syndrome” or “Florence syndrome” by the scientific community. This anecdote gives you a hint of the emotions you will experience when staying at the Villa la Vedetta, a Neo-Renaissance hotel in a chic and modern style offering a panoramic and enchanting view of Florence, just steps away from the Ponte Vecchio. To help you recover, submerge yourself in the delightful hydro-massage pool…
(Lys offer valid in low season from 1 November to 31 March – except for mountain properties: from 1 May to 30 November)

Hotel La Collegiata

Hotel and restaurant in the country (San Gimignano)
Once the seat of a small Etruscan village, San Gimignano is one of the most picturesque and charming towns in Tuscany. It has remained virtually unchanged since its creation. You will travel back in time as you discover the Collegiata, a Franciscan convent built in 1587, whose Roman arches now house elegant rooms and a charming restaurant. At the heart of the Chianti vineyards, this property also provides the chance to taste the best vintages in a region that offers so many; and just a few miles from the beauties of Siena.

Relais Il Falconiere

Hotel and restaurant in the country (Cortona (Arezzo))
In the heart of authentic Tuscany, amongst the vineyards and century-old olive trees, overlooking the lush green Cortona valleys, Il Falconiere is the true ambassador of Italian “dolce vita”. In this 17th century villa, discover delicious flavours and a quietly elegant atmosphere. Between visits to the wine cellars and cooking classes, the Baracchi family will whisk you away to its olde worlde and invite you to taste its prestigious wines and oils, and discover its superb cuisine. A visit to Cortona and its Etruscan remains is an absolute must - as are the nearby towns of Siena, Montepulciano, Pienza and Assisi.

Hotel Certosa di Maggiano

Hotel and restaurant in the country (Siena)
How many cities can lay claim to their very own colour? With the unique shades of its architectural façades, which can best be described as somewhere between ochre, coral and brown, Siena will always bring to mind the characteristic “Sienna” tones. Come and discover this wonderful city, and rest at the end of the day at this XIVth century abbey, whose owner has chosen to convert it into a wonderful hotel full of unique character and charm. Perfectly situated in the real Tuscan countryside, but just 2 km from the centre of Siena, la Certosa offers its guests tranquillity and refinement. Each of the 17 rooms is individually decorated and furnished, yet they all retain the same sense of simple elegance.

Hotel Cala del Porto

Hotel and restaurant on the seafront (Punta Ala)
White sandy beaches, blue seas and water sports… The programme of Cala del Porto will only interrupt your lazy leisure for a good reason: sports, beauty pampering (body and face treatments and other massages in the hotel spa) and culinary delights. The views from the swimming pool are impressive: it looks onto the Island of Elba where Napoleon was exiled for 300 days. Like him, you will have the time to admire the deep blue of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Other pleasures on site: the small port of Punta Ala, a highly appreciated stopover for sailors in Tuscany - you can also go on an excursion to Pisa, Florence or Siena - and there is a superb 18-hole golf course just three kilometres away.

Parkhotel Villa Grazioli

Hotel and restaurant in the country (Grottaferrata, Roma)
Once fallen into decline, this 16th century villa has been restored to its former glory thanks to a magnificent restoration project, and is now one of the most beautiful residences of Rome and its surroundings. Through the various eras and artistic tastes of its owners, it has gained in splendor, gilding and monumental frescoes (completely cover same of the walls and ceilings), and the villa we know today now resembles a smaller Sistine Chapel. An ideal location from which you can discover the Eternal City without breaking the spell of its charm.

Parkhotel Villa Grazioli

Caesar Augustus

Hotel and restaurant on the seafront (Anacapri)
King Farouk I of Egypt loved this hotel so much that he reserved a suite for an entire year. You will understand why he fell for it when you discover this building on the cliffs of Capri. The restaurant terrace and the infinity swimming pool offer dazzling views over the Tyrrhenian sea, Vesuvius and the island of Ischia. Between sunbathing sessions, you can discover the geological beauties of Capri, the blue legend prized by the Ancients, which numbers among its more recent history such illustrious guests as Oscar Wilde, Pablo Picasso and Jean Cocteau. Welcome to the land of the aesthetes.
(Lys offer valid throughout the year except for weekends (“weekend is defined as the period from Friday evening to Sunday noon included))

Il Melograno

Hotel and restaurant in the country (Monopoli - Bari)
Tucked away in the heel of the Italian “boot”, Il Melograno welcomes you to its delightful setting, just 3 kilometres from the adorable little fishing port of Monopoli. You will succumb to the charm of this 17th century “masseria” (working farm) renovated in the 1980s by the antique collector Camillo Guerra. White-washed walls, Persian carpets, vaults, Oriental-style spa and orchards - this hotel invites you to embark on a mini-tour of the world and a journey back in time. Visit the town of Bari on the Adriatic coast, Ostuni, the “white city”, and the numerous cathedrals and crypts in the surrounding area.
