This is a site primarily for those who have saved up to splurge or who have decided 
to make their next trip a treat.  

BUT DON'T DESPAIR
IF YOU'RE ON A LIMITED BUDGET

The guidebooks and links we recommend (Books and Links page below) will lead you 
to less expensive lodging in the cities and areas we cover; 
so you can still follow our advice and have a great time.  

And Itinerary #1 (Itineraries page below) features a number of 
wonderful sea and lakeside hotels and inns 
with prices below 200 Euros a night.

This website is recommended for English-speaking travelers by HotelsAbroad.com  


Everything you need to know - almost - from Italian phrases to where to eat, sleep, and shop.

Whether it's the Amalfi Coast, Venice, Rome, or the countryside, we think
you'll find this site useful in planning your first - or tenth - trip.

There are no ads on this non-commercial site---it's just the 
recommendations of two Americans who love Italy and encourage you to travel there.

CITIES AND REGIONS COVERED:  
Amalfi Coast, Camogli, Capri, Domodossola, Fiumicino, Florence, Lake Lugano, Piemonte, Pompeii, Porto San Stefano, Ravello, Rome, Tuscany, and Venice

LINKS TO USEFUL WEBSITES OF HIGHWAY MILEAGES, EXCHANGE RATES, FREE TRANSLATIONS, UP-TO-DATE WEATHER, TRAVEL BOOKS, AND MORE

These recommendations are based on our experiences in fall, spring, and summer in 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006, with updates from travelers and Italian friends.  We think they will save you time and trouble during your next trip to Italy.
