The hotel was fine - nothing exceptional or bad. It was located right by the train station which we wanted due to our travel so a little bit away from the key areas but that was our choice to be close to the train. The hotel was modern, clean, no issues.

We loved this hotel and the staff. Perfectly located just a couple of blocks from San Marco square and the Basilica and along the primary shopping district. The hotel had a canal entrance which was great for water taxis and the staff was incredibly friendly - the front desk and concierge team were amazing, helpful and extremely friendly. The room was excellent, very large and spacious and the breakfast buffet was great. We had drinks and dinner at the hotel one night and it was a great decision.

Beautiful hotel located right in the center of the central district of Bologna. We were located adjacent to the Basilica and town square and everything including shopping and dining was within a few square blocks. Couldn't have asked for a better location. While the room was a bit small, it wasn't unexpected given the older, historical nature of the hotel. The breakfast buffet was incredible, both in quantity and quality of food and the diversity of offerings.

Eating in the city centre: Private food tour
Bologna

We were a little disappointed with the tour. We enjoyed the initial walk through of the city hall and square and some of the historical information but the tour of the food and restaurants didn't really get into a lot of detail on the various foods, history, why the popularity in Bologna, etc. The oil/balsamic stop was very nice but the visits to the mortadella restaurant and pasta restaurant were just volume fast food type of restaurants. We were hoping for something more quaint and local. And we finished before the gelato store was open so were given a voucher and came back on our own. The guide was friendly but just not a lot of depth into the food and wine history and specialty of Bologna.

We had a wonderful time in Rome, Naples, Sorrento and exploring the Amalfi Coast for our 1 year anniversary!
A big thank you to Melanie and her team for arranging reliable and friendly private transfers to each city as well as some very nice excursions!
Their communication via whatsapp was helpful and clear, and we didn't have any issues along the way except for a longer wait at the Salerno train station, but that was due to the transfer company advising we give extra time for the drive from Praiano due to traffic etc. So we were well taken care of and had an incredible vacation!

Hi Christa,

thank you so much for your review and thank you for your kind words!
I'm so pleased everything went smoothly, and you dind't get held up by the landslide on the coastal road that morning; I know having to wait around is not ideal, especially at the end of a trip when you are already tired, and I'm sorry about that, but delaying pick up would have meant missing your train, so luckily we had a positive outcome.
I look forward to your next trip to Italy :)

Take care,

My husband and I recently visited Italy - our first trip to Rome and Florence. This is the second trip Marina has planned for us - and once again she did a fantastic job!! We were able to see everything you should on a first trip - plus a few extras!!! The sightseeing tours were informative and well-timed - including a golf cart overview of Rome upon arrival - with interesting and knowledgeable guides. The private and semi-private tours of the Vatican, the Colosseum (and the Roman Forum), and the highlights of Florence were exceptional. The food tours in Rome were terrific, and we were introduced to many of the local dishes.

We spent a morning in Pisa where we saw the Leaning Tower and also had a day trip to Tuscany which included a private tour of a winery and olive oil producer. The tour concluded with a very nice lunch looking out over the rolling hills and beautiful landscape of Tuscany. We tasted multiple wines and some olive oil. That afternoon our driver took us to the small town of Vinci - where Leonardo grew up. We saw his childhood home, the church where he was baptized and an interesting museum containing models of the machinery Leonardo drew in his books.

Our accommodations were wonderful - in Rome we stayed in a hotel across the street from Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore where Pope Francis is buried and our hotel in Florence stands on the land once belonging to Lorenzo the Magnificent and home to his art school where Michelangelo was trained.

Our thanks to Marina for again giving us a very memorable trip. Her attention to detail and efforts to accommodate our particular interests was superb!!!

We love KimKim travel. Have used for a few trips now. We worked wtih Tasos on our Italy trip and he was easy to work with and very accomodating. We had a couple of snafus on our trip (our fault, we left a couple of items in the hotel room) and the hotel reached out to KimKim who contacted us and all was remedied. All the hotels, transfers, tours were wonderful. We had the best family trip!! Read more
