  • Albergo Duomo | Kamin Mohammadi | Italy | Sardinia | Oristano

  • Grand Hotel Victoria | Joanna Monkhouse | Italy | Italian Riviera | Menaggio
    "The Grand Hotel Victoria is the deluxe option in Mennagio, though this doesn’t hold out much hope for the other choices in this pretty lakeside town. The impressive façade of the hotel inspires confidence as do the verdant gardens, but once inside,..."
