Pros: Beautiful Country, Great art, history and architecture. Cons: Some cities are a bit busy.
As a thirtieth anniversary gift, my wife and I treated ourselves to a three week trip to Italy. We did all the research, planning, and booking ourselves. We never even thought about a tour. We used Frommer's and Foder's Guides for most of our ...
Pros: High standards of sanitation, ingenious gadgets Cons: None
The second most useful phrase you'll need to know when you go to Italy is Dove il gabinetto? - "Where is the bathroom?" Dove is not pronounced like "dove" in English - it's more like "DOUGH-veh." (The most...
Pros: Fabulous location, comfortable rooms, gorgeous views, very good restaurant, impeccable service Cons: The beds could be a wee bit less firm
I was in Malcesine for the first time in 1973 with my father. He, in turn, had visited Lake Garda with his parents when he was a boy in the second decade of the 20th century, and had always wanted to go back. We were in Venice with a few...
Pros: Beautiful place in a lovely setting, clean comfortable, reasonably priced Cons: None
Review Topic: Sights & AttractionsWe wanted to go to Cinque Terra but hadn't booked rooms in advance, and there were four couples, so we didn't want to drag our stuff through the five villages on the off chance that we'd find rooms at the...
Pros: You become a really good, really responsive driver really fast, or you don't survive! Cons: You'll come home with your hair much grayer than when you left (look at my picture - I used to be a brunette!)
Having recently survived a 3-week driving tour of Italy, during which we covered a goodly amount of territory, I feel eminently qualified to write on this subject. The most impressive part of the trip is that we're still here to talk about it!
Pros: Fresh ingredients, fresh food everywhere Cons: A certain sameness to the menu selections
We recently returned from a 3-week vacation in Italy, mostly in Tuscany, but with some time spent in Venice and Bologna as well. As food-lovers, we'd looked forward to this trip for a long time, and while we certainly didn't spend all our time fooding,...
I spent most of June in Italy. I hadn't been there since 1973, so a lot had changed. We spent most of our time in Tuscany, with the last part of the trip on Lake Garda and in Venice and Bologna.
• We had been warned many times about the pickpockets and thieves that abound in Italy. We were advised to carry wallets in front pockets, keep passports and large currency in neck or belt pouches under our clothes, clutch purses so they couldn't be...
• Italy is spectacularly beautiful, especially in the areas around central and southern Tuscany and northern Umbria, where we were. The countryside is low rolling hills, almost each of which...
Pros: Gorgeous town in superb location, friendly people Cons: As many as there are in Eden...
Lago di Garda is the largest of the Northern Italian lakes, Como and Maggiore being the better-known. Lake Garda is nestled into the foot of the South Tyrol mountains, long and narrow, wider at the south end and coming to a point at the north. About...
One of the most lovely and picturesque towns I have ever visited was the tiny town on the Ligurian Sea known affectionately as "The Pearl of the Italian Riviera", more commonly known as Portofino. Its harbor is well-known as a spot where...
Seeing the beautiful island of Capri rising majestically out of the Mediterranean is one of my most special travel memories. Standing on the deck of our cruise ship watching the magnificent cliffs and hills come into view is a sight I will always...
Italy is a most beautiful country with lots to offer but of all the places I visited there, which all had there own kind of beauty, nothing affected me the way Calabria's rugged countryside did.
Pros: The food, the wine, the art, the people Cons: You're in Venice--what could be bad? (except the prices, of course)
We left Philadelphia on one of the first new US Airways direct, non-stop flights to Venice, excited at the prospect of food, wine and spectacular sights to see. The flight left on time and was smooth all the way. The airplane food was bad, but who ...
