Lisbona
Livigno
Una grande cittadina di montagna chiusa tra tre passi alpini, direttamente sugli impianti sciistici di Carosello 3000 e Mottolino. Ho soggiornato allo Sport Hotel, di livello molto alto ma non esattamente "sostenibile".
A large monutain village closed between three Alpes passes, directly on ski areas of Carosello 3000 and Mottolino. I stayed at Sport Hotel, high level accomodation, not really "sustainable".San Vivaldo

Catania
Ho soggiornato all'Hotel Manganelli Palace, a due passi dalla centralissima Via Etnea, buon rapporto qualità prezzo considerando la posizione e il livello dell'albergo, con una splendida terrazza sui tetti della città per la colazione.

I stayed at Managnelli Palace Hotel, two steps from the main street Via Etnea, good quality and price, considering the position and the range, with roof top terrace for the breakfast.
Bari
Una grande e bella città sul mare, che ho trovato pulita e ben organizzata. Offre moltissimi B&B, io ho alloggiato in uno sul lungomare Nazario Sauro, ottima posizione per la passeggiata a mare e per spostarsi in centro a piedi.

Città della Pieve
Montefollonico
Marsiglia
I visited this city in one day but for sure to get into the spirit of this seaside city requires more time. In addition to the touristic sites like Old Port and Notre Dame de la Garde cathedral, I suggest to see murales spread around Le Panier quarter.
Lyon
It's a nice city to visit during a weekend: I suggest around December 8 becuase happens "Fête des Lumières" a set of impressive shows of lights and sounds in the streets and along the two rivers of the city. Many B&B available at cheap prices.
Via degli Dei
A fantastic 4-6 days walk from Bologna to Firenze, across Appennino Tosco-Emilano mountains, a physical and emotional experience. Sleep at B&B in multiple bedrooms, I have been here: in Bivio Monte Adone "B&B sulla Via degli Dei", in Madonna dei Fornelli "B&B dai Romani", at Futa Pass in bungalow at "camping La Futa". Best cuisine at "Montevenere" restaurant in Monzuno, on Bologna's hills.
Ibiza
Although this expensive and cool island can appear to be not very sustainable, I quote a restaurant with good quality/expense ratio and very kind personnel: "Il gatto e la volpe" in Carrer del Passadìs, 2 in the center of Eivissa.
Monteriggioni
Stay in the small and suggestive Monteriggioni can be not cheap, but a valid option is ostello Contessa Ava dei Lambardi, located in Abbadia Isola, in a reformed monastry, about 5' by car or 30' on foot by Monteriggioni. Contact: +393382506902.
San Gimignano
Turistic popularity has made this medieval village to be quite expensive, nevertheless in Camping Boschetto di Piemma can find Villaggio del Pellegrino, where can stay in comfortable and cheap bungalows: https://www.boschettodipiemma.it/
Pontremoli
Probably one of more "sustainable" resort ever found, in Castello del Piagnaro" you can sleep in a Medieval residence for only 11€ per night. Simple but comfortable rooms with shared bathroom. For infos and reservations contact +39187831439.

I suggest a small hotel in a good position close to the station and to main underground lines: Novum Hotel Alster, St. Georgstraße 10, 20099 Hamburg. For typical cuisine go to Frau Moeller http://www.fraumoeller.com/

Pescheria da Rino a Torre Suda - Strada Provinciale 215, 45, 73055 Torre Suda
Ristorante l'Acchiatura a Racale - http://www.acchiatura.it/
This is maybe the best region in Italy for the quality/price ratio for toursim. I stayed in a typical "tower house" in the historical center of Matino, that I suggest both as a nice place and also for the good position to reach beaches and turistic cities. Suggested restaurants:
A Locanda tu Marchese a Matino - http://lalocandatumarchese.com/

Ristorante l'Acchiatura a Racale - http://www.acchiatura.it/
Alghero
I stayed in a typical apartment in the historical center, found it via Airbnb, living for a week in this wonderful town. Short distance to fantastic places like Capo Caccia with Neptun's Cave and beaches Porto Ferro, Bombarde and Stintino.
Brunate
A sustainable itinerary in a wonderful natural environment, is to reach by train Como Lago station, go up by cable car to Brunate, then walk on the path that oversees spectacular views on Como and Lecco lake. If you have energy, can reach Bellagio and come back to Como by boat, otherwise walk back to Brunate.
Parco Spina Verde
http://www.spinaverde.it/main/
A natural itinerary close to Como is Spina Verde park, particularities are the lake view and the trenches from First World War. Can be reached via Como Carmelata or Como S. Giovanni railway stations.

Napoli
I tried and suggest to stay at Naples View apartment in Chiaia: new, elegant, large, excellent position on the seaside, close to Piazza Amedeo station, with Capri and Vesuvio view. Ask me privately for the kind owner's contact.
Vicenza
Padova
I stayed at casa del Pellegrino, I suggest this hotel for a short stay and if you don't have high demands. The central position close to the Saint's Cathedral and low prices are the positive aspects:

The automation level is maximum: once reserved via website or portal, sms/email detailed instructions are received, including the free-number to call for the front-door opening... Everything is clean and easy, has led tv and obviously wifi.

Mucigliani
Alta Savoia
The impression I had from Savoyards is haughty, grumpy and inhospitable people; this point was confirmed by Swiss and Aostian people I spoke to. The natural environment is anyway very nice, I stayed in Chamonix and St. Gervais les Bains, both enchanting villages. I suggest a couple of places in St. Gervais les Bains: bar La Grange for apertitif and Edelweiss restaurant for Savoyard cuisine.
Bibbona
Amsterdam
Rotterdam
Bruxelles
Bardonecchia
Bardonecchia can be defined a sustainable ski place, since can be reached by train from Turin and everything is at walking distance, including the ski area. I suggest a comfortable and cheap accomodation at the Olympic Village http://www.villaggiobardonecchia.it/index.php from 2006 Olympic Winter Games.

Ile du Levant
http://campingdulevant.free.fr
The best way to live the experience of the unique naturist island in the world is stay in camping "La Pinede"; is surrounded by plants, has a fantastic swimming pool and is managed by two kind people: Monique and Dominique. Sustainability is the camping rule: life here has nature rythm, with limited use of water, electricity and light. Also bungalow for rent.
Rheinfall
I suggest Schloss Laufen restaurant on Rhein falls, with quality and unexpected cheap menu, given the extreme elegance of the place:
