Great Escapes Italy. the Hotel Book. 45th Ed.

旅行義大利，彷彿踏入人間天堂。數百年來，威尼斯、佛羅倫斯、拿坡里與羅馬的迷人風光，不斷吸引作家、藝術家、建築師與商旅到訪，並催生無數書籍、畫作、詩篇與雕塑，見證這片土地歷久不衰的魅力。過去六十年間，義大利更成為全球最受歡迎的旅遊度假勝地之一。歲月流轉，義大利之美依然動人，那份悠然自在的生活情調，也始終無可取代。

本書向義大利最令人驚嘆的風景與多元地域致敬，帶領讀者走訪托斯卡尼、翁布里亞、阿瑪菲海岸，以及西西里島外海如夢似幻的埃奧利群島。在這些傳奇景致之中，坐落著一間間充滿故事與氛圍的經典旅宿——小說以此為背景、電影在此拍攝，婚禮與著名愛情故事也在此發生。從科莫湖畔的埃斯特别墅、埃爾科萊港的佩利卡諾酒店、阿瑪菲海岸的聖彼得羅酒店，到巴西利卡塔的瑪格麗塔宮，皆是令人心馳神往的夢幻目的地。

安潔莉卡・塔森（Angelika Taschen）也在書中揭開更多鮮為人知的私藏去處：包括托爾切洛島上深受美食愛好者青睞的奇普里亞尼旅館、托斯卡尼浪漫的維卡雷洛城堡，以及普利亞充滿質樸情調的莫羅塞塔莊園。跟隨本書深入義大利，在傳奇名勝之外，尋見更幽靜、更迷人的風景。

To travel through Italy is as close as one gets to being in paradise. For centuries, writers, artists, architects, and merchants have been drawn here, inspired by the beauty of Venice, Florence, Naples, and Rome. Countless books, paintings, poems, and sculptures are evidence of its undying appeal, and over the past 60 years, the country has become one of the world's top travel and holiday destinations. The loveliness of Italy is, if not eternal, certainly enduring, and the easygoing and relaxed Italian lifestyle is still unrivaled.

Here, some of Italy's most amazing landscapes and diverse regions are honored, like Tuscany, Umbria, the Amalfi Coast, and, no less magical, the Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily. In these mythical surroundings are legendary hotels full of atmosphere, where novels are set, movies are made, weddings are celebrated, and famous love stories consummated: Villa d'Este on Lake Como, the Pellicano Hotel in Porto Ercole, the Il San Pietro on the Amalfi Coast, and the Palazzo Margherita in Basilicata--to name just a few. Angelika Taschen also reveals where to find more secret and hidden jewels--from the Locanda Cipriani, a destination for food lovers on the island of Torcello, to the romantic Castello di Vicarello in Tuscany and the atmospheric Masseria Moroseta in Puglia.
