former medieval convents. Similarly, you can find beautiful hotels in restored coun-
try homes and old city mansions, and these are not always particularly expensive. A
raft of cutting-edge, hip design hotels with cool staff and a feel à la New York can be

tels can be booked online at some of the sites listed under Apartments, Villas & Ca-
