Where to Stay in Italy: Airbnb vs Hotels - Best Choice for Your Trip
Planning your dream trip to Italy and stuck on the question: Airbnb or hotel? In this episode I dive into one of the biggest decisions travelers face when planning an Italy vacation: where to stay in Italy?
I uncover the appeal of Airbnbs in Italy - from extra space, kitchens, and laundry options to that authentic “live like a local” feeling in Rome, Florence, or Venice. Then I'll share the advantages of hotels in Italy, boutique city hotels, luxury countryside retreats in Tuscany, and even unique stays like Matera’s famous cave hotels. You’ll discover the insider formula for choosing accommodation in Italy: when an Airbnb makes sense, when hotels are the smarter choice, and how combining both can create the perfect itinerary.
Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, exploring Italy’s iconic destinations, or spending time in the countryside and along the coast, this episode shares expert Italy travel tips to help you choose the right accommodations and create a journey that’s effortless, memorable, and uniquely yours.
