We recently had one of our clients return from a tailor made 3 centre holiday to Italy, we arranged this through Typically Italian Holidays.
This is the feedback we got on his return-
5. Venice: Palazzo Schiavoni. We mistakenly thought this was a 3 or 4-star hotel, so we complained gently about the limited (continental) breakfast. They pointed out they are not a hotel, but a converted “historic building” without any star rating. In that case, it was fair enough. The breakfast was limited, but the room was nice, and not too small by Venice standards! Minibar, good bathroom, but no tea/coffee maker ( we bought our own!). Subject to how much it cost, I would say it was good value. Good location, quiet, friendly service. They also let very nice self-catering apartments in the same building – smart and well-appointed. As you know there are lots of hotels in Venice. I noted several 3-star Best Westerns that all looked pretty good. Next time, we might try the self-catering apartment idea – breakfast is easy all over the city (but not cheap of course!). We took the private water taxi back to the airport – a thrilling ride but it cost 110 Euros. Overall, Venice is very expensive, as I’m sure you now!
Italy and Sicily are our most popular destinations in Europe this year and we have been booking anything from City breaks to tailor made bookings.
Give us a call or pop in with your requirements and we’ll see what we can do.
