Venice was beautiful and a wonderful experience. Very romantic. Our guide, Sara, was great. Very friendly, good personality and an informative guide. Roberta and Alexandra were also great guides. We really enjoyed Murano and our private tour of the glass factory. Then we went to Burrano where we enjoyed the colorful houses and their reflections on the water. We were able to get some beautiful pictures.
Cinque Terre was marvelous. Our hotel, La Torretta, was beautiful and the staff was exceptional. The views were outstanding. The breakfasts were amazing. We would definitely stay at this hotel again. Our guide, Sandra, was friendly, helpful and she gave us a lot of history and information. She was also exceptional!
Rome was beautiful. Wish we could have spent a few more days here so that we didn't have to pack a lot into 2 full days.
The one thing I would change is the train rides. I would of preferred to ride in first class.
Hotel Reviews
This is a very unique hotel. The room we had was small but it had a queen sized bed and the room had everything we needed. One is not going to spend that much time in your hotel room. The patio where they serve a delicious breakfast and has a beautiful view of the ocean was incredible. They offer several choices for breakfast, coffee and Prosecco. The patio is a lovely place to enjoy your happy hour. They also have a hot tub for the use for guests. You will enjoy this after all the walking you will do. It is also a small hotel, maybe 14 rooms but they offer all you will need. We enjoyed being guests at La Torretta!
Parlamento Boutique Hotel is in a good location. It was a little difficult to find the entrance but we found our way. The walls of the hotel are a little thin. We could hear water running between the walls. We figured someone had showered and the water was running down the pipes. The room was roomy and very clean. They even had a small refrigerator in the room which was really nice. They serve breakfast every day but we did not eat at the hotelt because one day our tour started early & there was a strike happening that day so we had to leave early. And the other day we wanted to get to the Trevi Fountain early. Andreo, worked the front desk for like 2 days straight, was a wonderful person. If we needed anything he took care of it!! He can help you find a restaurant, convenience store, liquor store. Anything you need. Very nice and happy to help the guests staying at the Parlamento. I don't know how much they charged for the room because our travel agent booked our rooms, train tickets & tours. I should ask for an itemized bill LOL.
