Scala Stiegl Hotel is a well-kept mid-range property located on the outskirts of Bolzano’s town center. The hotel’s 65 rooms are unfussy and modern, with many offering pretty views of the surrounding streets and nearby mountains. However, their decor is far from luxurious. The property’s extensive gardens are a highlight, with shady lounge areas, an outdoor pool, and a wide restaurant terrace all offering opportunities to admire the neatly trimmed greenery. Some guests may find the common areas slightly dated, while others may enjoy the hotel’s old-school European style. Those looking for more sophisticated accommodations might prefer Hotel Greif, which features guest rooms decorated with original artwork and antiques.

The chic design-conscious Rome Times Hotel opened its doors in 2013 offering a relatively new hotel in this old city. Located in the popular Monti neighborhood, the upscale property is within walking distance of some of Rome's most popular tourist attractions, like the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and the Colosseum. The 81 contemporary-style guest rooms and suites feature handmade furniture, stylish bathrooms, and modern amenities like flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. The hotel has a pleasant rooftop terrace and a lounge bar where free appetizers are served during a daily happy hour. On the downside, there's no full restaurant, and the fitness room has just a handful of machines. Travelers might want to compare rates with Fortyseven, an upscale boutique hotel that also includes a rooftop garden restaurant, a full fitness center, and free breakfast.

The four-room, lower-middle-range Capricci Romani B&B is a charming bed-and-breakfast for couples looking to be within easy walking distance of Vatican City. The friendly, knowledgeable owner and nice details like free continental breakfast plus games and guidebooks for guests' use give this place a homey vibe. Rooms, though small, have air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and safes, and unlike some bed-and-breakfasts, have their own private bathrooms. This property costs less than other hotels in its class that are closer to central Rome, which makes it a good value for guests who want to spend most of their time exploring the Vatican. The Milani Hotel, while moderately pricier, is closer to the Colosseum and convenient to Termini Station.

The upper-middle-range, 120-room La Palma Hotel is one of the more popular options in the area for its trendy Sky Bar, rooftop pool, and gorgeous views of Lake Maggiore. However, the property as a whole is split between dated areas needing a refresh and sleek, modern spaces. Still, all rooms are comfy and have minibars, flat-screen TVs, and furnished outdoor spaces. On-site features include a restaurant offering up delicious Piedmont cuisine and free breakfast, an elegant spa with a sauna, and lakeside pool. Potential guests should note that Sky Bar is occasionally closed for wedding parties. The nearby Grand Hotel Des Iles Borromees offers a similar experience plus it has historic charm and more lavish rooms.

While Rome has multiple boutique hotels, The Fifteen Keys Hotel stands out for its location, stylish design, and upscale amenities. The attention to detail at this four-pearl property is apparent in the calm and elegant common areas, and in the 15 chic but unfussy guest rooms. All units are well-equipped, with AC, flat-screen TVs, minibars, kettles, and free Wi-Fi, and sleek bathrooms with walk-in rainfall showers and a generous stock of Malin+Goetz products. Some add balconies with views of the courtyard or Rome's ancient rooftops. While the hotel only offers breakfast and drinks at its 24-hour bar, its setting in the city’s trendy Monti area means that restaurants and artisan shops are all within a five-minute walk. Those willing to trade the boutique vibe for an on-site restaurant might consider the more traditional Palatino Grand Hotel nearby.

La Rocca Camping Village is an expansive, lower-middle-range camping property, bordering Lake Garda. Its isolated setting between Garda and Bardolino benefits from forested wildlife and direct lake access, and the largely German and Italian families crowd here find features good. A great pool with stunning lake views accompanies plenty of on-site sports facilities, and an animation team keeps little ones occupied. Alongside RV pitches, the property offers 146 mobile homes and apartments. Typical of campsite setups, decor is mostly bare-bones, although solid amenities include kitchens and outdoor spaces. An upgrade will get you nicer decor, a flat-screen TV, and/or private whirlpool. Del Garda Village and Camping is more central, but also more basic.

Perched above the charming town of Positano on the Amalfi Coast, B&B Casa Nilde is known for the hospitality of the family that runs it: they go above and beyond to make stays special. With only six rooms, the three-pearl property is small, but each room is cheerful and contemporary, and has a balcony with a gorgeous view out to the ocean. Rooms have flat-screen TVs, kettles, and mini-fridges stocked with free water -- which might be needed at the end of the day, as the stairs going to and from the property number in the 600s. That being said, it's possible to walk the road back up or take a bus stopping outside the property. Travelers wanting something on the water and quiet should consider Hotel Puppetto, set on a quiet pebble beach about a 15-minute walk from Positano's center.

Palazzo Contarini della Porta di Ferro is a romantic 14th-century Venetian “palazzo” that's within walking distance of St. Mark's Square. This upper-middle-range property has 19 guest rooms and suites, some of which are two- or three-bedroom apartment-style accommodations with separate dining areas and kitchenettes. Many have views over the San Francesco canal, flower garden, courtyard, or roofs of Venice. The “palazzo” is filled with period details like stone doorways and exposed wood-beam ceilings. Though there's lots of Old World charm here, some of the rooms show signs of wear and tear, and those next to the canal can pick up unpleasant odors. Breakfast is served in guest rooms or on a pleasant terrace, but it's an additional fee. As an alternative, the nearby Liassidi Palace Hotel includes breakfast and serves it in a room overlooking the canal.
