If you are planning your next holiday to Italy and are carefully researching hotel options based on their “star” ratings, you may want to re-think your strategy. Strangely, in Italy a higher star rating doesn’t necessarily mean a better hotel!
The “star-classification system” for hotels in Italy is based on the functions and facilities that the hotel has, which can include very standard items, such as a telephone in the room, an elevator, a 24-hour concierge reception desk, or fridge bar.
However, the fact that a hotel is a five star, four star or three star property does not necessarily mean that the hotel is more or less luxurious, and in many instances a three-star hotel can be far nicer and more well-cared for than a four-star equivalent.
This is why we’ve visited all the hotels we recommend, so we can tell you exactly what the situation is and to make sure you’re getting the best deal.

This is great advice about comparing hotels in Italy. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing the star-classification system in Italy.
So true. The ratings in Italy (as well as their advertised location) can be very misleading.
