This series of accommodation guides offers a unique focus on places with charm and character, including a detailed description and photograph of each hotel featured.

Welcome to this new edition of “Charming Small Hotel Guides Italy”. Recently, we introduced some big changes which have made the guide more popular than ever with our reader.

 *Almost every hotel was given a colour photograph and a gull page of its own. A few, on half pages, also have colour photographs.

 *The maps were upgraded.

 *The layout was changed in order to take you more quickly to essential booking information.

We believe that these have proved to be real improvements, rather than change for its own sake. In all other respects, the guide remains true to the values and qualities that make it unique (see opposite), and which have won it so many devoted readers. This is its seventeenth new edition (including the first edition) since it was first published in 1986. It has sold hundreds of thousands of copies in the UK, USA, and in five European languages.
