Although we'd be fools to not admit that the city is a romance trap and it's maybe best if you go with a sig-O. <p> Romance or not, if you're the type of person who can't handle old-world Euro flowers and extravagant Romantic style, but aren't quite sure if the Scandinavian design is your thing either; there is a happy medium. <a href="http://www.byblosarthotel.com/"><b>Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amista</b></a> seems to embody it. What they pull off is old world Italian charm, with fluff and all, but in a fashionable and posh way that reminds you that they don't take themselves too seriously. It's the style of lovers AND friends.<p> CoolHunter.net tracked down this hotel, Courtney 2006-06-29T10:40:24-05:00 Search HotelChatter Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
