Melanie Rapuano

Lobby is a bit underwhelming with torn couch upon entry and ugly old furniture to the side. But rooms are clean and comfortable and the courtyard for breakfast is lovely.

Adequate hotel.

Two-room family room was new and fresh and great. Pool was nice. A bit of noisy tree-cutting or something adjacent during our stay but probably not a long-term issue. Would recommend.

This hotel was wonderful except for one person at checkin. GREAT location. Love Trastevere. Loved the courtyard. The rooms had enormous charm. Having to use phones to get in rooms was not awesome.

Our guide here was very friendly. We loved seeing the David and some of the other art. But again, as was typical for some of the guides, it was like she was reciting a memorized script and could not adapt to younger kids or husband who was just not that interested in all the detail.

Our guide arrived harried. She had just completed another tour. This was somewhat typical for some of the guides. Too overworked in the summer. Still, we learned a lot.

We liked Giovanni a lot. We did not go into St. Marks because of long line and heat. But enjoyed the explanation of the square, etc.

Outstanding. Friendliest boat crew. A great day but be prepared for crowds in Positano and Amalfi. Loved swimming off the boat.

Pompeii is amazing. But our tour guide Daniel was extremely gruff. Too overworked like some of the others. He did not like to be interrupted with questions. Nevertheless, enjoyed.

Both great. Our favorite guide of the tour was Santos for our golf cart tour. Didn't see much of the Jewish Quarter but got a feel for Trastevere and Rome in general. Colosseum was a delight to see. And we asked the guide to take us to the Arch of Titus as well, which I had wanted to see.

Giovanni was fantastic!!!

One of our favorite parts of the trip.

Angela and Luigi are a truly beautiful people, we had the best day with them. They customized the experience for us, interacted with us, cooked amazing food for us, we all felt like old friends when we left them at the end of the day. It was an extraordinary experience.

perfect place, beautiful, great breakfast, people were so kind and welcoming Beautiful courtyard. Close to everything yet quiet and feels like a secret getaway from all the bustle to relax at night. Even had gluten free breakfast!

The best hotel for Sorrento, when the beachclubs can only offer so much, like more tanning than anything, this hotel had a wonderful beautiful pool to refresh. Highly recommended! even had gluten free breakfast! Kind staff and very clean and modern

perfect spot! close to vatican and yet only 20min walk to main shopping and sites. Didn't realize this hotel was right in front of the most charming brick laden street , quiet little souvenir shops, 3 gelatos all within the same street, outside restaurants patio dining, but yet quiet and right amount of bustle to make you feel part of something. Lovely beautiful hotel. Great breakfast. Lovely staff. Highly recommend. clean !

Amazing gondola ride, our tour guide we didn't realize was so famous! He even sang for us! Our teen girls loved this.

Must do! Our teens loved the private boat, had a bathroom, very clean, sunbathed on the desk, and skipper was so kind and flexible. Spent the whole day stopping and shopping and swimming in the sea. Clean nice boat

OUR TEENS LOVED THIS! They way that Melanie our Kim Kim Agent timed the tour was perfect so that it wasn't too terribly hot. They really had a good experience with the tour guide, he was fantastic, he was so enthusiastic and our family could really get a first hand look at how they lived. He was a great storyteller,and could not have been with a better tour guide for Pompeii! Mt Vesuvius was fantastic also! Both timed just perfectly.

Our family loved this, great tour and guide, highly recommend private tour, get a lot more information!!

family loved this experience! Tour guide that Melanie picked was great, tailored the tour to the kids interests, so kind, and the. biking and catacombs was truly an experience for them. HIGHLY recommended!

The tour guide Melanie chose was fantastic! He was so knowledgeable and knew how to weave through the crowd! There were crowds of people, but Melanie's arrangement allowed use to bypass all the lines and just get in, the guide showed us all the key pieces and you could see all the correlation with the other. Fantastic and quite amazing tour!

This hotel had absolutely amazing views!!! The views were the best part of this hotel. The rooms were fine but nothing special as was the food. The staff at the front desk were not very nice or helpful, it was as if you had to pull information out of them. Due to the location of this hotel (which is not ideal) you need to take a shuttle in and out of town. The shuttle was extremely hot and many times full, so it could become quite inconvenient. Not a hotel I would return to.

This hotel is a gem in Rome. We were lucky enough to have garden rooms which we loved. Rooms are clean, staff is friendly and it’s a nice location

This is a beautiful hotel, very clean, rooms are great, and a nice outdoor area. However, the location is a bit of a walk from the places you want to be close to and it is quite stuffy (staff and guests).

This tour was great!! Best way to see Amalfi and Positano by far. Would highly recommend a boat tour if in the area.

This tour was amazing!! In my opinion I wish the tour guide would have talked a bit less and really only spoke on key points. There was a lot of information given that was not of any interest especially to twenty something yr old boys.

The Vatican is amazing!!! No matter how you see it I can not imagine not being amazed. Our tour guide was very talkative and not all of the information was of interest to us. She also rushed us through areas when we wanted to stop and take pictures, she seemed more focused on getting through the tour than our experience

This was the highlight of our trip. I highly recommend this tour as long as you can ride a bike, you see things you would otherwise probably not see while visiting Rome. The bonus was our tour guide Alex, he was just amazing!!

This tour is just ok, not sure it is necessary when visiting Florence

We loved this experience!!! We didn’t know much before we went but so happy we did. The views were amazing and walking around the beautiful streets, restaurants and stores made for a great day!!

This was our favorite hotel on our 2 week vacation. Rome, Florence and Sorrento. We had rooms in the courtyard area which might be the reason we like it so much. The rooms themselves are nothing great but they had everything you needed. The hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly. The location, Travestere, was a nice break from all of the crowds in Rome center. Added bonus was that there are a lot of restaurants within walking distance.

Not having high expectations, our family of 4 booked this e-bike tour of aqueducts/Appian/catacombs. We’ve been in Italy for 2 weeks and this was one of the top highlights of our trip. Alex was exceptional, everyone in our family connected with him and had a fantastic time. We wish we could’ve taken him for the rest of our trip.
