The first Michelin Guide dedicated to Italy’s hotels has given three keys to just eight properties.
Just eight hotels got the coveted 3 keys
They are the JK Place Capri, the San Pietro in Positano, the Corte Della Maestà, a boutique hotel with just four rooms in Civita di Bagnoregio, as well as the Umbrian Castello di Reschio in Lisciano Niccone, the Casa Maria Luigia in Modena, a project of Michelin-starred chef Massimo Bottura, the Rosewood Castiglion Del Bosco in Montalcino, the Aman Venice and the Cipriani, a Belmond Hotel. These are the magnificent eight in Italy: the establishments that have taken three keys in the first Michelin Guide dedicated to Italy’s hotels.

There are 500 Italian hotels in the guide
The guide, officially presented last week in Milan, includes about 500 properties, out of the 6,000 selected at a global level. Some 107 have one key, 31 have two keys and just eight can boast three keys. Tuscany is the region with the most hotels awarded the recognition: 32, including one with three keys, seven with two keys and 24 with one key. This is followed by Campania at 18 (two, five and eleven respectively), Lazio at 17 (one, two and 14), as well as Lombardy at 16 (seven two keys, and nine one key) and Trentino - Alto Adige (four two keys, and 12 one key).
Guides to more countries are in the pipeline
The Italian guide follows the French, USA and Spanish editions, with Italy boasting around forty fewer keys than the France guide, and with as many properties but more keys than Spain. Japan will follow on 4 July and other editions are in the pipeline.
