Artist Antonella Arlotti has created Udine's ultimate place to stay. Six elegantly designed suites are packed with various extras, from full kitchens in some to coffee machines and luxe linen throughout. A stylish, simple breakfast spread of sweet and savoury pastries, juice and DIY coffee can be taken at a big table in reception or whisked back to your room.
The Out of Africa suite is particularly romantic with it's own sauna, a contemporary four poster with under-bed lighting and huge windows looking out over the historic Via Mercato Vecchio. On the top floor of a stately Renaissance townhouse, it's both private and quiet despite the super-central position.
