Italy: a stay for two, without children

An Italian escape for two can begin with a place you both want to stay. Perhaps the appeal is its design, the surrounding town or simply the prospect of having a few days together. Adults-only accommodation gives this holiday a clear setting, with rooms for two and a policy that welcomes adult guests rather than families with children.

A different conversation each day

Italy offers many backgrounds for time together: city streets, country landscapes, coastal towns and the pleasures of a long meal. The mood need not be grand or ceremonious. A coffee that lasts longer than usual, looking at unfamiliar buildings or agreeing to leave the afternoon open can give the day its shape.

Space for your own kind of holiday

This selection is for couples who want to choose both the accommodation and the atmosphere around it. The adults-only policy is the shared feature, not a promise of silence, seclusion or private facilities. Each property has its own character, so a sociable stay and a more inward-looking escape can both belong here.
