1. Venice
First place on our trip to visit. A very special city.
2. Ca' Angeli
Great place to stay in a timeless city. Wonderful breakfast.
3. Osteria Da Alberto, Venice
One of our best meals was here! Lasagna with cream sauce, shrimp and calamari.
Busier than expected, but this city has many hidden treasures.

Favorite hotel of our whole stay! Happy hour, great staff, shower, nice bed and good breakfast. Located away from the craziness, but convenient to bus stop and walking distance to Ponte Vecchio.
6. Chianti wine tour with Natalie
Natalie made this the most amazing day we had on our whole trip! She spoke great English and knew a ton about wine, balsamic and olive oil. We got to see a lot of Tuscany and learned even more with her showing us the ropes! natintuscany@hotmail.com
7. Osteria Antica Mescita San Niccolo
Sit outside and try the cream of mushroom soup!
Expect to walk a lot and don't miss the walk through Ancient Rome.
9. Tazzo D' Oro
Best coffee- try a granita! Near the Pantheon.
I loved the shopping here. Things were affordable and it was not so crowded.

This hotel had the most gracious host! She was helpful and so sweet. We loved listening to the water as we slept and taking the elevator down to the beach.
Rent and scooter and tour the island!
13. Giardini Poseidon Terme (Poseidon Gardens)
Relaxing day after chaos.
