Villa Accini

This guide will take you to all of my hotel stays all around the world. It will ONLY list places that I truly enjoyed and would return to. I have always wanted to have all of my hotels in one place and this is a great way to do it and to share it! I will go in alphabetical order by country and will add to it as I travel! Hopefully you find this helpful on your future trips!!! **If you're familiar with this site then you likely know that I will get a small commission at no cost to you for my booking.com links listed here. Please know that it helps me so much as a creator and someone who is sharing all my tips. I also have NOT left out airbnb stays or other great places that are not on booking.com because I want to share the true best experiences we've had with or without commission! I hope this also shows that you can trust my reviews and recommendations are made with honesty and only about places I've personally stayed.

I have visited Italy pretty extensively now. I have been to Tuscany, Puglia, the Dolomites, Mont Blanc, Amalfi, Cinque Terre + Ligurian Coast, Rome, etc and spent a lot of time exploring the country. Along the way I have gathered up some recommendations from places I've loved. This will be a growing guide as I continue to travel throughout Italy so make sure to save it and check back for updates! I have also in my visits seen/visited hotels that look fantastic and have great locations, amenities, etc. Or put my friends/family up in places that they've since reviewed for me. I will make sure to be very clear throughout this guide which stays I recommend from personal experience and which I believe to be great recs. ***My notes on each place will be in the notes section under the stay so make sure to click to read them!***
