Discover Italy through AIG hostels for exciting experiences!
Italy can offer a lot to visitors of all ages and tastes. Thanks to the hostelling movement and to AIG hostels, started in Italy in 1945 by Aldo Franco Pessina, this has been also made available to every pocket! Years after years, our hostels have been changing from big dormitories and common shared facilities to more comfortable accommodation, keeping up with the new way of traveling of young people. What has remained unchanged is the atmosphere and spirit you can experience in our hostels, characterized by merging of different cultures, hospitality and making new friends in an informal environment. Join the international hostel movement of Hostelling International and discover Italy by staying in our chain of hostels, from big must-see cities to smaller hidden treasures of our islands, countryside and inner-lying mountains.
Discover Italy, region by region.
