Introduction
"The
home of the Renaissance period, Michelangelo, the Vatican,
Volcanoes, Coliseums, Julius Caesar, gondolas, high fashion...
.the list is endless and the biggest problem you will face
is experiencing all that Italy has to offer"
If you are planning your honeymoon in Italy, why not ask
us to tailor-make a combination holiday for you. This would
allow you to see as much of the artistic, architectural and
historic treasures found in Rome, Florence or Venice. Or perhaps
you may prefer to spend a few days in Rome before heading
south to romantic Sorrento to relax and give your feet a rest.
Cities
Rome - The eternal city of Julius Caesar, Michelangelo
and Fellini. Three thousand years of history has left a unique
stamp on this bustling, noisy metropolis. Lively trastevere
bars, high fashion and chat at pavement cafes are as much
the essence of Rome as the awe inspiring grandeur of its classic
coliseum and Forum, the magnificence of the Roman Christian
churches and its art treasures.
Florence - Capital of Tuscany and cradle of the Renaissance.
No city contains more art treasures! Leonardo and Michelangelo
vie for supremacy. What the Medicis started in the 15th Century
is carried on in the form of exquisite craftsmanship in leatherwork
and fashion.
Venice - The source of inspiration for poets and artists,
the city never ceases to amaze, even at the dawn of the 21
st century, Venice still remains a dream world. Most noticeable
is the absence of cars, this only adds to its magic and charm
as you sail through the canals on a Gondola, an experience
which explains why Venice is regarded as one of the most romantic
cities in the world and a city to be visited and revisited.
Sorrento - one of the most romantic coastlines in Italy
leads to this plateau, nestling in to the cliff, 150m above
the sea on the Bay of Naples. An idyllic setting for a romantic
holiday and an excellent touring base in which to visit Pompeii,
Mount Vesuvius and the beautiful island of Capri.
Accommodation
Most accommodation in It aly is based on Shotels offering
the choice of bed and breakfast or half board. Hotel standards
vary and you will find the majority are simply furnished yet
clean and comfortable. You may prefer self-catering, this
is available in either a resort area staying in an apartment,
or you may prefer to hire out a private villa.
