The sense of “lodging” for the word accommodation was first attested in 1600. At that time Italy already had beautiful places to stay.

Luxury hotels in Italy seem to be part of the territory, just like if they had been here forever.

Historic buildings fulfil their role, the breathtaking views do the same. Locations is fundamental and style, luxury and comfort are basic requirements if you understood what we are talking about…
