Transportation was perfect, easy, convenient and relaxing.
All our experiences, tours and travel were perfect - wouldn't change a thing
The guides were all wonderful on all trips but we had the best one in Modena - Caterina. They were all so informative, excited, helpful, friendly and amazing.
The hotels were great - we usually stay at Hilton hotels but we are so glad we did the smaller more intimate hotels. My comments about the hotels would be for future guests
Antica Locanda Leonardo - no elevator. Cute courtyard and wonderful staff.
Hotel Cavour - geat hotel - best location-lovely outdoor courtyard- best staff - amazing.
Corte Dei Sogni Boutique Hotel and Spa - the worlds smallest shower - I am 5' 2" and I couldn't extend my arms - my husband is larger and was not comfortable shower. There is no bar - there is no where to get something to drink after breakfast time - they do have small selection of beverages in the room. The outdoor area was nice but small.
The cooking class in Florence was one of the best things ever!!!!!!!!!!!! Cecilia was amazing, wonderful, friendly, the view from her home is unbelievable. Just know that there is no elevator to her home and it was a few flights up.
Navona Theatre Hotel- this was in a great location - no elevator, friendly staff, no car can pull up to the hotel so you do have to take your luggage down the street a bit. No bar - small selection of drinks in fridge in room- no outdoor space.
Hotel La Bussola- another GREAT hotel - best rooftop bar! Great location!
Pizza making class was great fun - only issue is schedule said it was 2 hours and over at 230 but it was more like 3 hours and we had scheduled a car to pick us up at 230 and this caused issue with the transportation company and going to Ravello.

ciao Kristen
Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We’re thrilled the trip ran smoothly and that the boutique hotels were a welcome change. We’ll pass your praise on to Caterina and Cecilia.

Your hotel notes are very helpful for future guests, and we’ll be clearer about stairs and luggage access. We’re sorry the pizza class ran long and disrupted your Ravello transfer. We’ve flagged the timing with the provider and will build in more buffer from now on.

We are looking forward to plan your next trip!
