Nestled at 1,800 metres on the southern slope of the Plose mountain above Bressanone, Forestis Dolomites redefines alpine luxury with architectural restraint and natural elegance. The resort’s minimal-design suites, floor-to-ceiling windows and timber-and-stone textures dissolve the boundary between interior and the towering peaks of the UNESCO-listed Dolomites.

Of note is the 2,000 m² spa that draws on the four elements - air, water, sun and climate - and four native trees, offering indoor-outdoor pools, multiple saunas, and treatments inspired by mountain pine and larch. Gourmet dining at the restaurant specialises in ‘forest cuisine’, blending Alpine produce, wild herbs and local foraging under the direction of chef Roland Lamprecht. With ski-in/ski-out access in winter and hiking trails in summer, this adults-only retreat delivers a rare combination of serenity, design and peak-mountain immersion.

Once a gathering place for artists and poets, Hotel La Palma is Capri’s oldest hotel and now one of its most dazzling. Reimagined by the Oetker Collection, it retains the island’s effortless charm while introducing a new era of Italian glamour. Fifty rooms and suites designed by Francis Sultana pair cool white tones with splashes of Mediterranean blue, each opening to a private terrace or balcony that frames the island’s vibrant life.

Life here moves to Capri’s timeless rhythm. Days begin with espresso at Gennaro’s, where Michelin-starred chef Gennaro Esposito reinterprets Neapolitan classics, and drift toward sunset cocktails on the Bianca Rooftop, where sea and sky blur into one. The Da Gioia beach club, tucked into Marina Piccola, invites long afternoons by the water, while the pool terrace and spa offer calm after the island’s bustle.

In harmonious design, Collegio alla Querce, Auberge Resorts Collection’s 83 guest rooms and suites marry the old and new worlds, combining high Renaissance art with modern Italian design. Rich colours, locally sourced materials and contemporary furnishings will complement hand-selected antiques and walls of thoughtfully curated, decade-spanning artwork.

Soaring windows look over manicured Baroque gardens, spectacular hilltop views of Tuscany and the historic terracotta tiled city of Firenze. Personal wine cellars, trunk closets for fully unpacking, marble tubs and invisible technology all create a true sense of la bella vita.

The Bvlgari Hotel Roma is the ninth jewel in the Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts collection. Occupying an illustrious address at Piazza Augusto Imperatore, in the Campo Marzio area, the Hotel is minutes from Via del Corso, the Piazza di Spagna, and Bvlgari’s historic Via Condotti boutique.

The Hotel celebrates the most refined qualities of the Eternal City and showcases exceptional facets of Italian elegance in every detail of its design, hospitality and experience. Home to 110 Rooms and Suites, five distinctive culinary experiences, and exquisite boutiques and programmes, it is an inimitable expression of the Bvlgari spirit, forged in the history and richness of Rome.

Boasting unparalleled views over Bellagio and the rose-tinted Grigne mountains, the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, a family-run business for over a century of history, is a symbol of the warmest Italian hospitality and the place-to-be on Lake Como to enjoy the flavours of a real vacation. Built in 1910, it combines fabulous period décor characterised by vibrant colours and reflecting the exuberance of times past with contemporary luxuries to make every lakeside vacation truly extraordinary.

The hotel features 80 rooms and suites alongside a number of impressive facilities and amenities; a lakefront sandy lido and three breathtaking pools alongside private Venetian motor launches waiting to show guests the lake and its borgos. To top it all, the hotel boasts a three-level T Spa and five restaurants and snack bars offering the best expressions of the Italian cuisine.
