Travel Review: Custom Italy Vacation Package, Rome, Sicily, Amafi Coast, Capri, Pompeii, Tivoli Gardens, Volcano Etna, Agrigento

I would look to add some entertainment to the plan. For example, one of the highlights of Taormina was a restored amphitheater -- what we didn't know is that rock concerts are regularly scheduled there. (Sting was there the week before.) Had we been aware, we could have scheduled our trip to coincide with a concert. I understand concerts are scheduled from time to time at Pompeii, too. I would also want to be aware of some terminology. The term "boutique hotel" can mean different things in different locales. In Rome, our boutique hotel was on the 4th, 5th and 6th floors of an office building; there was no signage on the building other than a doorbell with the name. The facility was acceptable once we were acclimated, and the proprietors were very nice, but it wasn't what we expected. In Sorrento, our "boutique hotel" was a stand alone full-service hotel, very nicely appointed, with amenities such as shuttle service to local restaurants and shops. Quite a difference, though.
