Accommodation: A landmark hotel in downtown Munich
The century-old villa is located in the historical centre of Munich, just a minute's walk from the Maximilianstrasse, one of the most famous shopping streets in Germany, and five minutes from the Opera House. The art nouveau residence was built in 1898 for guests of the royal Bavarian court. After it was acquired by its current owner in 1976, the landmark building was carefully renovated and converted into a sophisticated boutique hotel. No two rooms are alike, and each was decorated with meticulous attention to style, atmosphere and comfort.

Accommodation: A hotel in the heart of Old Rome
This centuries-old building is located in the city centre, between the Spanish steps and the Via Veneto. Marco and Guilia, the enterprising proprietors who have roots in the hotel business, have completely restored the property and now offer modern, comfortable accommodation in a historical building. Marco can suggest the best sites to see - he is an accredited Rome tour guide. The building offers many practical conveniences. An elevator takes guests to the air-conditioned rooms on the three upper stories. The upstairs suites have a view extending over the roofs of the old city to the dome of St Peters. You're guaranteed a good night's rest here (a valuable commodity in Rome), as the guesthouse is next door to a convent!

Accommodation: A hotel in Lindau harbour
The location of the 4-star hotel on a small island near the famous entrance to Lindau harbour couldn't be better. Although bricks found during the recent restoration of the building were dated 1612, the structure likely goes all the way back to the 13th century when the nearby Lighthouse was built, Lindau's most famous landmark. Many of the rooms have stunning views of Lake Constance. The in-house restaurant specializes - not surprisingly - in local seafood dishes; meals can be enjoyed outdoors in the summer. The town of Lindau is just a short walk across the land bridge away.
