My favorite part of the trip was our experience at this resort. The tasting meal had some of the best dishes I have ever had, the view was amazing f from our bedroom, and the pool had a drink and snack bar and was almost private because the resort is not large. This is a five star experience that is off the beaten path. This is not the place to go for a nightlife of dancing- that is Naples, but to deny yourself this quiet get away would be the wrong choice if you are with your spouse, partner or friends.

We have done a few Kimkim cooking experiences and loved them all. Our party worked with this award winning chef to make some authentic Italian food from scratch. The wine, beer and food were outstanding and we felt at home with him and his staff. Highly recommend this experience if if you only like to cook a little bit.

If you appreciate history, this cannot be missed. Our guide was very knowledgeable, showed us the site in an efficient way without having us follow crowds of people. I would recommend this experience.

This hotel is not only at a perfect location right down the street from all of the restaurants and bars, but it was a little oasis on its own. The rooms are a bit smaller than we are used to in America; however it was very comfortable, clean, and well-appointed. Everyone on the staff was pleasant and eager to help us. They were also very patient with our broken Italian! There are multiple outdoor areas for lounging, there is a rooftop bar with an infinity-edge pool overlooking downtown Cefalu, and live piano music in the lobby a few nights a week. The beach is literally across the street, it's in a quiet location, and is a five-minute walk to the start of the bars and restaurants.

We had NO IDEA what to expect here, but were blown away by what we saw. Mario is on of 18 manna producers left in the world and learning about the process on the top of a mountain was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Once we got to the top, we saw his "office" which is a collection of ash trees (manna sap) olive trees, and almond trees. We learned about his ability to graph various trees and his deep knowledge of manna harvesting. Even though the manna was not being harvested when we visited, we got to try some from the season before!

Every driver was attentive and professional!

This was one of our favorite activities of the trip! Captain Alex and his wife Melinda (ex-pat from Indiana) were so friendly, welcoming, and fun! As we went along the coast of Cefalu, Melinda gave us some of the history, pointed out landmarks, and gave us some of the inside scoop on the real estate and hotels. As we anchored for the sunset, they brought out food and drinks for aperitivo with a perfectly-paired playlist. We waved goodbye to the sun as it set on the horizon and got to see Cefalu in a whole new light on the way back.

Great hotel and staff.

Great hosts. Friendly and with excellent knowledge and skill.

A slightly worn historic hotel with great amenities ( included breakfast), expansive lobby and onsite restaurant. The room (502) is noisy, partially due to the Miami club across the street and thin walls between rooms. Room size is expansive but lacks meaningful storage, recommended 2 folding luggage racks for storage. Daily included breakfast offers European variety. The courtyard bar and restaurant provide a calm formal experience. We visited here 3 of 5 nights with positive experiences each time.

Such a wonderful experience at Hotel Davanzati! Convenient location, great amenities (included breakfast, teatime and evening reception), comfortable and quiet room. But most importantly, every Hotel Associate we interacted with was so friendly and helpful, making our stay stellar!

Fun decor, helpful hotel staff. They reached out to us ahead of time to take care of checkin requirements and give us checkin instructions in case we arrived after hours. I appreciated the extra effort to make sure checkin was smooth.

Hotel was in a great location. Easy to get to with luggage, which is not common in Cinque Terre. Host was awesome…super friendly and helpful.

Room was nice and large for the three of us. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

Host was friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and had fun decor. Breakfast was good.

This is a beautiful way to Cinque Terre and learn about the towns and the region. The captain was friendly and informative.

Another of our favorite activities during our trip. The hosts were fantastic…a true Italian family. They were super friendly and so much fun! The pesto was fantastic. The lunch after was probably one of our best meals in Italy. The view was beautiful,

Easy to use and made getting around Cinque Terre easy and flexible.

Probably one of our favorite experiences on our trip. Super informative and tons of fun watching the dog find the truffles! The lunch and wine pairing after was fantastic. We’re not big wine people but it was interesting to learn about the different wines and pairings. The food was fantastic. The winery itself is beautiful and welcoming!

Driver was on time, professional and easy to communicate with and coordinate pickups.

We enjoyed the pasta making class and love that they sent us home with recipes. It was a little larger group than our other experiences…really the only reason it only got 4 stars.

This is a great way to see and learn about Rome, especially if you only have a couple of days in Rome. Even if you have more time, it’s a great intro to Rome. The driver/guide was great. He even gave us recommendations for the rest of our time in Rome, from pizza to gelato to other tours.

The tour was awesome. Guide was great…informative and humorous.

The hotel was very nice and a good location.

This hotel was the most modern and spacious of the rooms that we stayed in. It was across from the train station which was very convenient. It was walkable to the main attractions and there were lots of places to eat nearby.

Very nice hotel, loved the old world charm - there were a lot of steps! It was a great location, the staff was friendly, the breakfast was delicious and we would definitely go back.

Pompeii was incredible and our guide was great.

There are no words to describe how incredible the Vatican tour is. Our guide was fantastic. The only downside was that we did not get to tour the Basilica because the Pope wanted to use it.

The Colosseum and Ancient Rome Tour was amazing!! Our tour guide was great and full of information.

Our guide was great and very knowledgeable, but definitely above our level. I enjoyed the David, but felt like it was too rushed, there was a lot more that I would have liked to see in the gallery besides the David. The outside of the Duomo was beautiful and the dome was amazing, but I don't think we needed to go inside.

This is Italy! When I see pictures of Italy this is what I think of - a gorgeous afternoon in the Tuscan sun drinking wines. By far my favorite day! The tour and guides were great, the wineries were amazing, the wines were refreshing and the lunch was delectable.

This was a great experience. Federico was a great teacher and the sauces he made were delicious!! I definitely recommend it.

This tour was amazing! The Basilica and Doge's Palace were gorgeous. Our tour guide was great - he was knowledgeable and funny.

Our tour was great! The food was delicious and our guide was friendly and knowledgable.

Elegant and great food.

Wow, this is a come-back-to place! Gorgeous decoration, quiet, and comfortable.

Clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. Very nice staff and good breakfast buffet.

Great food and great culinary insights.

Great transportation, guides and spectacular history.

This was the best food tour we did on our vacation and there were many.

This trip was absolutely amazing. Even the the basilica and square were closed for Jubilee, our guide spent extra time making the Sistine Chapel come alive.

Rich history content that flowed together and great tips for follow on spots to visit.

Loved the staff. The breakfast was not good at all.

Stunning. Great staff. Great amount of room. Love everything

Not enough time for 3 hours. It was fine. Dont recommend unless you do something else over there or in another town.

Lovely tour. Great amount of time. Very intelligent.

Great tour.

Not happy at all. Felt rushed to but something. Followed around my sales people. Poor jewelry section. Viewing the work was quick. Didnt get to explore the town. Very upsetting since we heard murano was gorgeous

It was fine. I thought it was a museum, not a collection. My aunt and mom appreciated it but i could have skipped.

Great tour.
