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.

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

updates from travelers and Italian friends. We think
they will save you time and trouble during your
next trip to Italy.
