Bed and Breakfasts in Italy

Is it the infinite selection of mid-day gelato and gnocchi? Or perhaps the serenity of the salty breeze of the mountains descending over Lake Como? The 20 different wine regions producing everything from Super Tuscans to Muscats? Buildings rich in history that have been beautifully resilient to aging?

There is something that Italy provides that never ceases to disappear; the intoxicating vibrancy of the people and culture that offer pure rejuvenation. The Italians have a saying that translates to “the pleasure of doing nothing.” There is inspiration in the everyday components of life, from the food that utilizes fresh, local, delicious ingredients, the value of time to enjoy the company of family and friends, and constantly moving the body, walking from one destination to another. Perhaps you are in need of a reset before heading into the busy fall season of client meetings, deadlines and business travel? Take a look at a few of the Bed and Breakfast’s that Handsome Properties is offering right now and pack your bags for your very own Italian escape!
