The chance to spend the night in a former 16th century monastery is sure to appeal to anyone who has an interest in history. The Belmond Hotel Splendido has managed to maintain much of its original structure while also making room for luxurious touches such as a tennis court, sauna and large swimming pool. Guests can follow in the steps of the former monks by taking a stroll through the large and lovely gardens, while stunning views are waiting to be enjoyed at the Terrazza restaurant. The spacious sea facing suites are simply sumptuous and feature wraparound terraces.
