A word from our customers

L
Laoise, New York

Hôte Italia brought us so much unexpected joy and introduced us to wonderful such extraordinary accommodations and people in such distinctive places of Italy and Sicily. Until I first used your site, I had always preferred to find my own offbeat places when I travelled-but you have never disappointed us. That we haven’t been customers of yours in recent years is no reflection in you - and we speak of you often. I would love if you would stay in touch . We are still in New York and would love to meet up with you here or wherever you are in France or Italy. It was an enormous privilege to avail of your wonderful agency which was to the highest standard, in every sense!

Anonymous,

The selection of hotels, the expert advice, and the recommendations made our stay delightful. Booking was quick and easy. It was exactly what I was looking for: authenticity, simplicity, and a connection with Italians.

Thank you so much for organising our weekend in Rome. It was a beautiful hotel and Carlotta looked after us so well! We also had a meal at Da Ugo Trattoria which you had recommended and really enjoyed it. I hope we can book more with you in the future!
