Italy is one of Europe's most popular travel destinations – from the romantic lagoon city of Venice to the elegant and historic Turin and the fashion metropolis of Milan. This page brings together all of miles-around's Italy articles: personal accounts of city breaks and short getaways, with a clear focus on hotel reviews and lounge reviews.
Included are hotel reviews of the Hilton Molino Stucky Venice – a five-star hotel in a historic mill building on the island of Giudecca – as well as the DoubleTree by Hilton Venice North, a more affordable alternative with excellent connections to the lagoon city, and the DoubleTree by Hilton Turin Lingotto in the iconic former Fiat factory building, redesigned by architect Renzo Piano. Also included are lounge reviews of the Piemonte Lounge Turin, a partner lounge at Turin Airport, and the Lufthansa Lounge Milan-Malpensa following its renovation. These articles are aimed at Hilton Honors members and travelers who want to explore Italy in comfort.
Luxury hotels in Venice are plentiful, some located right in the winding alleys, others a bit further out. This is one of them, the Hilton Molino Stucky Venice, which we chose as our base for our New Year's trip to Venice in 2021/22. Find out how our stay was and what benefits you can expect as a Hilton Diamond status guest in the following hotel review.
The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Venice - North is located just 30 minutes from the lagoon city of Venice, making it a convenient base for sightseeing. Find out what you can expect as a hotel or Hilton status guest in the following hotel review.
We chose the northern Italian city of Turin as the destination for a weekend together. With the DoubleTree by Hilton Turin Lingotto we decided on a hotel quite quickly. This is only a 10 minute drive from the city center and was therefore perfect for our city trip. We were also interested in the hotel because it was designed by the famous architect Renzo Piano in the former Fiat factory.
After our weekend trip to Italy's unofficial capital, we visited the Piemonte Lounge in Turin before our return flight. Find out what our stay in the contract lounge was like and what amenities and service you can expect in the following lounge review.
The Lufthansa Lounge Milan-Malpensa was extensively renovated some time ago. During a business trip to Milan, I was able to gain an impression of whether the modernised lounge meets the expectations of the Italian fashion capital.
