of B&B's to choose from, 3 star and 4 star. All
our B&B’s are unique and charming structures.
They will be decorated with taste and furnished in a
warm and comfortable manner while still reflecting the
personal tastes of your hosts, the 4 star properties
may be distinguished by some or all of the following
characteristics:
More prestigious location within the
respective urban or country setting. A 4 star B&B
will more likely be located near city center attractions
like Piazza Navona or the Fountain of Trevi than a 3
star. A 4 star in the country might be centrally located
in a prestigious area like the Chianti wine region with
a stunning view of the countryside Rich and lavish décor
and furnishings. You might find antique furniture, artisan
craftsmanship, and the superior quality comforts that
will make a stay truly memorable being situated in a
villa or palazzo of great artistic and architectural
significance.
