Italy

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Hilary listened to what I wanted. I wanted to stay in apartments instead of hotels. I told her where I wanted to go and how long I wanted to stay there. I gave her a dollar number that I wanted to stick too. She found fantastic apartments for me, my husband and 2 young adult daughters. We stayed very close to the budget and she found me places that I probably would not have booked on my own. I would probably look at the price of each place and she took the whole trip into account. How did you find out about Zicasso? I just surfed the internet looking for Italy tours. Zicasso popped up with a couple of travel agents. Hilary from this travel agency called me back first. I liked her right away and we corresponded via email and phone for 9 months before my trip. I would recommend her to anyone!

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

The apartment in Firenze - Relais Piazza Signoria - that our agent Hilary found for us. It overlooks Piazza Signoria. The apartment is beautiful and wonderfully centrally located in the heart of Florence. The Bed and Breakfast in Verona was beautiful and the Inn keepers are some of the nicest people we've ever met. La Traviata at the Verona Arena was more beautiful than I ever imagined! Our Rome apartment was 50 meters from the Trevi Fountain. It would be hard to be better located! Our apartment in Venice was in the quaint neighborhood of Castello. The people there were very nice and not touristy. It was an easy walk to San Marco The Tuscan Villa we stayed in for 4 days - Fattoria Casa Sola, was beautiful and the people there are wonderful. It was a great location to take day trips in Tuscany.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

I would stay longer in Florence. There is so much to do there and we were only there 2 days. I would also get off the train faster in Terni. The train started moving before we had a chance to get off. We had to go to the next stop and go back.
