First Dates Hotel returns as Fred Sirieix and his team head to the ultimate love hotel in sun-soaked Italy, where they're joined by new Italian staff: assistant manager Francesca, receptionist Michela and handsome waiter Francesco. An eclectic mix of singletons from across the UK check in to this new playground of passion for a slice of la dolce vita. Around the hotel pool, the guests speculate about who their match might be and excitedly eye each other up ahead of their blind date in the hotel restaurant.
