This combination of fantasy and comfort was designed like a candy bar and named after a type of chocolate.

Laid out over three floors, Piano al Latte, Piano Gianduia and Piano Fondente, the Etruscan Chocohotel has 94 comfortable rooms, each has its own amusing ‘choco-desk’.

The ground floor of the hotel features a richly-stocked chocostore selling hand made and industrially-produced chocolates from all over the world (Domori, De Bondt, Mannori, de Castro, Amedei, Rovira, Cuba, Gobino, Antica Dolciaria, Dolphin ,Valrhona, Catinari, Weiss, Maide, etc.) as well as gadgets, books, posters, tasting cups and more. Guests can indulge themselves here on temptations such as the Kramsky chocolate wrappers, Eric Rovira’s imaginative chocolate eggs, chocolate objects made by Maide, taste unusual varieties of hot chocolate or try the freshly-made pralines.

The elegant restaurant of the Etruscan Chocohotel serves a variety of dishes and, for real chocoholics, a menu from appetizers to dessert made entirely with chocolate as the main ingredient.

If that didn’t persuade you to take a flight to Italy then maybe the festivals of all chocolate festivals will, CioccolaTÒ 2009.
