Special Places to Stay: Italy [Paperback]

Alastair Sawdays has traveled the length and breadth of Italy to bring you a guidebook packed with the very best hospitality that it has to offer. - Italia! This is much more than a standard accommodation guide, the highly personal and intimate writing in each review creates a strong sense of place.- The Sunday Telegraph Alastair Sawdays guide to Italy has lots of off-the-beaten track, eco-friendly recommendations. - The Guardian A charming guide to a delightful selection of townhouses, B&Bs villas and so on& - Mail on SundayStay in a B&B at the foot of Mount Etna, a 16th-century monastery on the Italian Lakes, a medieval hamlet in Le Marche - there's even an entire village in Tuscany. Find plenty to do and learn too; there are yoga retreats and art & drama workshops, we have one farm that runs pottery and textile holidays and another where you can go truffle hunting or honey collecting. We highlight places where the owners' commitment to the environment, the community or to serving local or organic food really stands out.[Setting] - Italy
