VeniceBanner.jpg

Italy has many areas of interest to visit, and a variety of attractions for you to choose from during your vacation here.   The train system also allows for a quick, easy and inexpensive way to get around the countryside to see the best of what Italy has to offer.

Built on seven hills, ROME is an unforgettable encyclopedia of living history.  Everywhere you look, you will be overwhelmed by the powerful reminder that ancient Rome was the center of the civilized world.   A city of contrasts, the magic of Rome lies in its talent to blend the old with the new.

While empires have risen and fallen, Rome remains as vibrant as ever.  The Eternal City is filled with things to do and see and after your visit, you will be hard-pressed to pick a favorite. Rome is certainly a city where you will get your cultural fill but be sure to allow time for more self-indulgent concerns, eating, drinking wine, basking in the sunshine and enjoying open air concerts, ballet, opera performances, live rock and jazz.

Built on 117 small islands at the northern end of the Adriatic Sea, VENICE is unlike any other city in the world. No matter how many times you have seen photos of it, nothing will prepare you for the real thing.  You must walk everywhere in Venice and where you can't walk, you go by water.  Venice has 150 canals and more than 400 bridges, and its historic center is divided into six quarters.  The main thoroughfare is the Grand Canal that intersects each of the six quarters as it twists along the length of Venice. 

One of the best ways to explore the architectural beauty of the city is by a romantic gondola ride along the Grand Canal allowing you a unique vantage point to admire palaces and buildings along the water.  While you can easily spend weeks visiting Venice and the lagoon islands, the city is also a popular weekend destination.

One of the world's most architecturally beautiful cities, it is not surprising that the elegant, fashionable and picturesque city of FLORENCE is bursting with life.  Nestled below the wooded foothills of the Apennines, along the banks of the Arno River, this capital of the Tuscany region is located on Italy's northwest coast.  Founded in 59 B.C. as a settlement for retired Roman soldiers, Florence retains its old-fashioned spirit and will make you feel as if you were transported back in time.

Countless museums and galleries are filled with masterpieces by Botticelli, Brunelleschi, da Vinci and Michelangelo while great shopping and delicious cuisine make Florence a popular vacation spot.   Most of the sights you'll want to see are within walking distance of the Duomo cathedral in the city center.  The heart of the city is the Piazza de Duomo and the Piazza della Signoria where statues commemorate major historical events of the city's life.  Next door, the Uffizi is the oldest gallery in the world, with a collection of the greatest works of the Renaissance commissioned largely by the Medici family.

The ISLE of CAPRI has captured the imagination of visitors for centuries and is highly recommended for Honeymooners looking for an unforgetable romantic experience.   A mountainous island, known for its sea caverns, the most famous of which is the Blue Grotto.  The lower town of Capri zigzags with narrow winding streets and interminably long staircases taking you from one part of town to the next. 

Travelers usually enter the city at the bustling Piazzetta Umberto below the famous clock tower.   Looking more like a little courtyard, it is packed with little cafe tables, a great place for people watching and breathing in the aroma of this spectacular panorama above the sea.  And the foods not bad either!   With restaurants over looking the Mediterranean sea, you will have some of the freshest seafood available, along with scrumptious pasta dishes and desserts.

The American Bar in the converted stables has the cutting edge of Space Age design while the guestrooms mellow in the lustrous patina of cherry wood and hues of gold.
