Years ago we took a car plus bed and breakfast package throughout the British Isles. ( You received a book with various B&Bs that participated and made reservations accordingly.) <BR> <BR>Does anyone know if such a tour exists in Italy? <BR>

Michele, <BR>This may not answer your question but it does offer an alternative. Pick up copies of Karen Brown's books " Italian Country Bed and Breakfasts" and "Italian Country Inns and Itineraries". Both should allow you to develop your own personalized itinerary. Brown, by the way, is rarely wrong in the recommendations she makes.

Michele, The concept of B&Bs like you find in the UK or France is not really the same in Italy. There are many quaint <BR>places but they are either small family <BR>owned hotels or rural farm villas. <BR>There are several good sources for these <BR>on the internet depending on your price <BR>range. Also, you should really start with your planned itinerary and work backwards to the properties. If you desire more details please contact me <BR>directly by email andI will try to help

Michele--Definitely take a look at the Karen Brown book. She now works with either JetVacations or the French Experience arranging packages similar to what you're seeking. Perhaps, she's also doing something similar in Italy.
