Italy
Amalfi Coast- we stayed in Ravello at Palazzo Sasso. Amazing views and top notch all the way! It was a very small town and quiet too. It was easy to get around to any of the great places on the coast from there.They have a web site, due a search. We didn't rent a car anywhere because the drivers are CRAZY there and the roads are so small. For the same price we taxied everywhere. We did every kind of transportaion you could- plane, ferry, taxi, train, and private boat. Working your way down from Northern Italy would be great, just allow enough time at each location. If you let me know where you will be, I will give some good places to go.
