Go swimming hotels in Italy
Sometimes it takes more than knockout design, superb service and mattresses fit for a maharajah: Mr & Mrs Smith like a somewhere to dip their toes once in a while. Nothing beats watching the sunset over cocktails on a pool terrace – we've even been known to go swimming occasionally.

Come on in; the water's lovely…
