World's Most Romantic Hotels
Courtesy of Cas'almare
Cas’almare, Favignana, Italy
A simple cottage built from golden tuff stone was recently converted into this waterfront enclave on Sicily’s rugged, picturesque Favignana Island, a summer destination for Italians in the know. The intimate hotel—just five guest rooms, a breakfast room, and a central living area awash in soothing seaside colors—is furnished in chic Euro fashion (bold Ingo Maurer light fixtures and canopied beds with Bellora linens). Contemplate the turquoise Mediterranean from a teak table at the adjoining beach club, then take to the waters on one of the hotel’s two boats.
Best Spot to Soak All Day: Room No. 4’s freestanding bathtub, perfectly positioned in front of the window to catch the ocean breeze. Doubles from $260.
