Delicious pasta, pastries galore, a dream breakfast, elevated cocktails and a truffle concierge? Sign me up. Last fall, I fell in love with Hotel d’Inghilterra Roma, a Starhotels Collezione property (part of a Florence-based, family-owned hotel group that I now adore), for many reasons. One standout? The concierge helped me track down tartufo bianco— the rare, pungent, mouthwatering white truffles harvested between October and December in Italy’s Piedmont region.
