Stayed at Berchielli, Hotel - Florence, Italy.
|
There are many family run Restaurants in the area to pick from.
The bus and train terminals are in walking distance. For side trips, heading towards santa Croce in the square you will find leather outlets.
Also across from the Duomo you will find a self service restaurant with good food and ice cream.

Stayed at Bussola di Hermes - Capri Island, Italy.
|
Do not visit restaurants around Piazza Vittoria and the tourist track to San Michele. The small Trattorias in the village have excellent food to reasonable price. Select the dish recommended by the owner and you can be sure that it will be delicious.

Stayed at Citta Di Milano - Venice, Italy.
|
No noise or pollution from cars, buses etc. You can walk almost everywhere, and get a boat the rest of the way. If you're over 40 don't go to the Campo St. Margarita for dinner!

Stayed at Weber Ambassador, Hotel - Capri Island, Italy.

Nice but not cheap! We had dinner at various restaurants on the island and I can't say any were bad.

Stayed at Duomo - Pisa, Italy.

Location was good since it was a 5 minute walk to the Leaning Tower. Also close to a few restaurants. About a 8 Euro cab ride from train station.

Stayed at Regina Cristina - Capri Island, Italy.
|
Food is good especially (and naturally) with pastas and it is reasonably priced. Hotel prices are a bit expensive compared to its grade. Very cozy island with lovely views here and there.

Stayed at Novecento Corona d'Oro 1890 - Bologna, Italy.
|
The medievel museum is a must-see to help you envision this interesting city as it was hundreds of years ago. This is a walker's city, it can be seen entirely on foot. Pane, Vino e San Daniele, a small casual restaurant (parties of two may have to share a table) on via Altabella has foods and wines (whites are most notable) of the Friulian region of Italy --- especially cheeses and cured meats (San Daniele is a ham specific to the region) and, in season, sauteed fresh porcini.

Stayed at Gallery Art - Florence, Italy.
|
Book gallery tickets in advance on the internet, or you will stand in queues for hours. Don't go mid August, all the best restaurants are closed, we had to eat touristy food which is not great.
There is a new restaurant across the Ponte Vecchio called Beccofino, a modern Italian trattoria, food is good and not too expensive, sit outside.

Stayed at Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria - Sorrento, Italy.
|
Sorrento is a busy and vibrant place. We intended to travel around but spent our 10 day holiday in Sorrento. Pompeii, Capri and the Amalfi coast are all nearby. There was much to see, a lovely bay and harbour, the main piazza is a great venue for drinking cappuccino and 'people watching.' Lots of shops in the main street and more in the small alleyways leading off the main areas.
Food was either excellent or fantastic with a full range from the inexpensive cafes serving basic pasta dishes to the more expensive Il Bucco and La Carusso retaurants - Highly recommend Il Buco where we were pampered and treated to excellent food and wine for prices comparable with a good quality restaurant in England.
