Outdoor Hotel Suites - Sleeping under the stars

As a little girl I would always plead with my mother to let me sleep under the stars on warm summer nights, and my lovely mother, unable to decline, would create a makeshift tent on our terrace for my sisters and I to pretend we were on safari. She would always make us our favorite snack; small pieces of crisp Italian bread, cheese, and fresh tomato drizzled in virgin olive oil, and she would feed us while telling us stories about her childhood late into the night. These are memories I hold dear to my heart, and if truth be told, I still get the urge on hot summer nights to sleep under the stars.

If like me, you too love star gazing or the beauty of a full moon, here are some amazing outdoor hotel suites for you to fall asleep (or fall in love) to the sound of soft waves, surrounded by vineyards, or immersed in the scent of wild roses, jasmine, and gardenias.  Whatever your preference, there’s a suite to suit.

After all, legend has it that for every falling star, a wish will be granted. So book your suite and make a wish!
