They cover a range of price points, amenities, and types. Take a look and see if something looks good to you! Organized roughly north to south. I've either visited them myself or researched them a ton and am hoping to stay there someday! 

Chalet Al Foss Alp Resort
@teaspoonofnose
Probably the most instagrammed hotel in Italy! Truly stunning in both summer and winter. It's worth the hype, but expect to pay 5 star prices for the rooms. The in house restaurants and spa services are excellent and reasonably priced.

FuordArno Bed & Breakfast
@teaspoonofnose
My absolute favorite place to stay in Florence!! Two sisters converted their childhood home into a beautiful 6 room B&B in the Oltrarno (other side of the Arno river, a more local neighborhood but still walking distance to everything). Includes breakfast, digestivi, and each room is uniquely themed!

Gorgeous hotel in the middle of Friuli Venezia Giulia wine country! The hotel has the perfect balance of elegant but rustic decor and an incredible Michelin starred listeria on-site. Perfect to get away into the quieter side of Italy.

Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater! I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where! I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too! If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you! My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny. I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
