Unusual and Unique Hotels in Italy

Staying at one of these unusual hotels in Italy will certainly be one of the highlights of your life-changing holiday. Choose between staying in a Trulli hotel or tapping into your spiritual side at an Italian castle or monastery.

If you prefer sleek design, then Hotel Pulitzer might be for you. Each of its rooms are themed after music genres and include state-of-the-art Bang & Olufsen sound systems.

Trulli of Stars

The Mirror Houses

No matter where your accommodations take place - from Venice's floating hotels to Matera's troglodyte-style limestone Sassi - Italy offers unforgettable hotels for every kind of traveler. But for an even greater adventure, why not book one of its numerous monasteries or convents offering guest quarters?

Mirror Houses were designed by architect Peter Pichler to be situated among South Tyrol's apple trees, offering privacy, peace, stunning mountain views and an air of lightness and symmetry. Each luxury holiday cottage captures this surrounding panorama through full-height mirror walls which create privacy, peace, beauty, lightness and symmetry for a unique holiday experience.

Art Hangar

Two kilometers outside of Montisi is this striking holiday home made out of an industrial hangar, defying traditional Tuscan farmhouse standards. Austrian sculptor Reinhold Traxl transformed it into his home and studio in 1999; opening large glass openings which can be closed by transparent iron curtains for optimal light infiltration into the building.

After Traxl became ill, his property was acquired by Belgian couple Johny Thielens who subdivided the space into two loft apartments featuring rustic industrial elements as well as contemporary art sculptures.

Borgo Egnazia

Borgo Egnazia was chosen to host Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake's wedding, offering luxury retreat along Puglia's Adriatic coast.
