Veneto

Most people miss much of the Veneto with only a stop in Venice. While it is understood that everyone must see the beauty of Venice, there are many other small cities with treasures of art and a wonderful lifestyle, including Verona and Padova. In addition, you can reach the area where the Alps begin in just a short time with views of charming towns and pretty vineyards for the Prosecco sparkling wines (Italy’s “champagne”). Why not explore Venice and then go beyond…summers are cool and not crowded and winters are wonderful for skiing.

"Megan - Just wanted to send you a note to let you know how wonderful our Italy trip was and to thank you for all your help (and on such short notice). I'd like to single out Luciano who worked at the desk at Hotel Mascagni in Rome and was incredibly helpful and a delight to get to know. All the arrangements went off without a hitch and we couldn't have done it without you (especially in a week). Thanks again." - F. K., April 2005
