Capri's first hotel, Hotel La Palma, has now been transformed into a stylish Italian retreat with 50 rooms and suites, forming an iconic part of the prestigious Oetker Collection. The accommodation is tastefully decorated in calming sage greens, dotted with minimalistic touches and crisp white linen. The hotel is located in the heart of Capri; a stone's throw from the famous Piazzetta and the designer shops and boutiques of Via Vittorio Emanuele. Home to a handful of eclectic restaurants, ambient bars, chic Da Gioia beach club and alluring spa, there's much to indulge in even before you've left to explore the enchanting Italian coastline.

Dating back to the 18th century, Passalacqua is an enchanting retreat perched on Italy's iconic Lake Como. Live la dolce vita and experience an elevated level of luxury in this Italian oasis, surrounded by lush gardens, dotted with parasols, and emerald green loungers overlooking the water, Aperol Spritz in hand. The hotel interiors are grand and sumptuous, adorned with velvet furnishings, ornate details, high ceilings and rich, colourful textures. Stay in one of the estate's beautiful buildings; Palazz, Villa or Casa al Lago, each deliciously opulent and charming. The hotel is no stranger to the much-adored Italian cuisine we all know and love, from al-fresco dining, pasta-making sessions, and gelato by the pool, to intimate seasonal dinners and a pre-dinner aperitivo, you'll be spoilt for choice here. If you're not already relaxing by the pool or immersing yourself in the underground wellness area and spa, you might find respite at the open-air cinema, cooking lessons, boating excursions or tennis, to name a few.

Boasting a stunning location set in the terraced hills overlooking Portofino Bay, this property offers 70 rooms and suites many of which have a private terrace. The building is an old 16th century monastery and is one of Italy's Grand Dame hotels. Set just outside Portofino village you have easy access to the chic picturesque environs within whilst a footpath down the hills lead to the quayside where you'll find many a superyacht moored. The picture perfect villages of the Cinque Terre are also within easy reach being only an hour's drive away. The hotel harks back to its glamorous past having opened in 1902; you will find stunning monochrome shots of some of the famous previous residents decorating the spaces. Rooms are traditional in feel with antiques mixed with neutral shades and grey and white marble.
