Choosing the right hotel is not an easy task and being sure that it will fit the bill can be tricky.
Italy is home to many excellent hotels but reading a brochure or a review can be misleading. Getting it right is essential and with the expert and impartial knowledge provided by Merrion the stress and worry is taken away. A stunning view, superb cuisine and luxurious rooms are not so hard to find but this must be combined with charm, character and excellent, friendly service…
Merrion travels throughout Italy in her quest for the most special hotel retreats. Some are grand and luxurious, others may be small and hidden away but they are all chosen for their attention to detail and friendliness of the staff thus guaranteeing that guests are not only provided with a beautiful spacious suite with marble bathroom, magical view and mouth watering cuisine but also that sense of friendly yet professional service & management.
From the Rosa Alpina in the Italian Dolomites to Le Fontanelle in Chianti and La Sommita in Puglia, Merrion’s knowledge, advice and assistance is the very best. Merrion knows the owners of her selected hotels and will always provide an honest opinion of not only which hotel to choose but even which room to book, what to eat and where to enjoy evening aperitivi as the sun sets!
Should you wish to venture beyond Italy then Merrion has other secrets up her sleeve…
Here is a taster of some of the hotels in Italy which Merrion recommends.
With its hilltop villages, landscape of rolling hills & cypresses, churches rich in art, superb red wines and the wild and unspoilt Maremma coast, Tuscany continues to enchant and inspire.
Influenced by Greeks, Romans, Normans and Aragonese to name but a few, Puglia is a fascinating region of impressive coastlines, Baroque cities, white villages scattered with ‘trulli’ houses. Mouth watering cuisine and full bodied red & white wines abound here from the rich sun drenched land.
Arguably the most stunning and magnificent mountain range in Europe, the Dolomites cannot fail to captivate in both winter and summer with its endless walking trails, endless ski terrain, mountain refuges serving polenta e capriolo and of course the unforgettable orange pinky hue of the dramatic Dolomiti peaks.
The Veneto and Lombardy provide the visitor with an endless array of delightful sites be it Venice with St Marks Square and hidden treasures, Verona with the famous Arena or magical Lake Como with its glistening water and rich verdant vegetation.
Rome the Eternal City has to be seen to be believed, Naples with its rich & colourful history, charming people & some of the best food in Italy and nearby the spectacular & magical Amalfi coastline with Ravello and Positano – here the visitors’ senses will be blown away!
Sicily is a veritable melting pot of cultures where one could spend a lifetime exploring its historical sites, vibrant & colourful Palermo, not forgetting a gastronomic tour of the most outstanding food and wine imaginable. From here visit Sardinia, the emerald isle with its clear & breathtaking water, sandy beaches and fabulous climate with vermentino wines and romantic sunsets.
