The Project
Quality, professionalism and a deep knowledge of the Italian regions have always been our leitmotif.
With CharmingSardinia.com, CharmingPuglia.com, CharmingCampania.com, CharmingSicily.com and CharmingTuscany.com we have gained the esteem and the trust for those looking for unforgettable luxury and charming holiday.
Now, there is something more.
There is something new every day…
Let us guide you throughout the Charming Italian way of living. Let the experts of the Italian hospitality suggest you how to experience the beauty, passion and lifestyle of the whole Italy.
Hospitality
It is true that Italy is one of the most dreamed-of locations for travellers and holiday-makers. But what is it, that really makes the difference during your stay in Italy? The chance to experience the authentic “Made in Italy”, not a surrogate of its cuisine and fashion or artificial warmth and hospitality.
This is the reason why CharmingItaly.com selects both, boutique hotels and resorts, as well as hidden gems and well-known hotel chains; but all accommodations must have some essential points in common:
- Modern Italian luxury furniture and a homely touch
- They must be leisure service oriented but include modern technology facilities
Therefore, let's have a look at what makes a hotel worthy of being chosen by Charming:
1. High standards of quality
2. Warm and personalized services
3. Classical Italian elegance, a minimalistic design or modern furniture – but never an excessive, pompous or cold-hearted style
4. Unique and amazing landscapes
5. Strategic and exclusive hotel’s locations that are far from the noisy city centre, however with the main sights of the area always at reach
6. Slow food, local products and master chefs
7. Wi-Fi throughout the hotel and various other docking stations
8. If this is still not enough, log in and discover the CharmingItaly Hotels yourself.
