A small list of hotels our editors return to — and recommend without hesitation. Refreshed every Friday. Delivered to inboxes the same morning.
9.4/10
"There is a particular afternoon in the second week of October when Porto Ercole empties of the August crowd and Il Pellicano remembers what it is. The boats stop running. The bar reverts to locals. The cliff path is yours."
9.1/10
"You have not arrived at a hotel. You have arrived at the hotel. Seven suites, one restaurant, one pool. No spa, no gym, no business centre, no concept of a lobby. If you arrive expecting any of those, you will be very politely redirected to the Gold Coast."
9.0/10
"If you have seen one photograph of The Eve, this is the one. The rooftop pool — small, oval, lined in moss-green tile — sits at the centre of a paved deck planted with mature palms. Six private cabanas with striped red-and-cream awnings face inward."
One hotel worth booking. One guide worth reading. One place to save. Sent every Friday at 7am AEST.
