Hotel & holiday accommodation guides; Places & peoples: pictorial works

Series: 45th Edition

To travel through Italy is as close as one gets to being in paradise.

For centuries, writers, artists, architects, and merchants have been

drawn here, inspired by the beauty of Venice, Florence, Naples, and

Rome. Countless books, paintings, poems, and sculptures are evidence of

its undying appeal, and over the past 60 years, the country has become one of the world's top travel and holiday destinations.

The loveliness of Italy is, if not eternal, certainly enduring, and the

easygoing and relaxed Italian lifestyle is still unrivaled.

Here, some of Italy's most amazing landscapes and diverse regions are honored,

like Tuscany, Umbria, the Amalfi Coast, and, no less magical, the

Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily. In these mythical surroundings

are legendary hotels full of atmosphere, where novels are set, movies

are made, weddings are celebrated, and famous love stories consummated:

Villa d'Este on Lake Como, the Pellicano Hotel in Porto Ercole, the Il

San Pietro on the Amalfi Coast, and the Palazzo Margherita in

Basilicata-to name just a few. Angelika Taschen also reveals where to

find more secret and hidden jewels-from the Locanda

Cipriani, a destination for food lovers on the island of Torcello, to

the romantic Castello di Vicarello in Tuscany and the atmospheric

Masseria Moroseta in Puglia.
