Perhaps unsurprisingly, Italy topped the list of foreign countries most-visited by Andrew Harper members last year. We decided to dig a little deeper to see where exactly people were going in their search for La Dolce Vita. Here are our ten most popular Italian properties, ranked by travel office bookings.
One of the greatest trinities of world travel, Venice-Florence-Rome, continues to reign supreme. The Hotel de Russie, set between the Spanish Steps and the Piazza del Popolo, continues to appeal to Harper members for its ideal location, sparkling service and idyllic grounds. We were also gratified to see last year’s Hideaway of the Year, Il Salviatino, make the list.

I’ll have to say Hotel Cipriano is a two thumbs up. The place is beautiful and elegant, it’s very relaxing and the people are very accommodating.
