Michelin has just given its highest award to eight Italian hotels via its newly established rating system. The Italian recipients of Michelin’s “three keys” status span the boot-shaped nation.

The hotels — recognized for their exemplary service and accommodations — include J.K. Place Capri, Corte Della Maestà, Castello di Reschio, Casa Maria Luigia, Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco, Il San Pietro di Positano, Aman Venice, and Cipriani a Belmond Hotel Venice.

The Michelin key rating system for hotels is comparable to the renowned guide’s star rating system for the best restaurants in the world. In April, the food and hospitality authority revealed that the key rating system resulted from four years of refreshing its “crème de la crème” hotel selection. Michelin claims all the hotels honored with a key, or keys, “excel in design, architecture, service, and personality.” The rating system is as follows:

One Key: a very special stay
Two Keys: an exceptional stay
Three Keys: an extraordinary stay

If you’re looking for Instagram-worthy travel spots for your upcoming Euro Summer, consider one of Michelin’s Italian “three keys” below.
