Need your help trying to decide on hotels in both Venice and Florence. I've done all my homework and narrowed it down to 2 in each city: <BR> <BR>In Florence - either the Grand Hotel Villa Cora or Hotel Brunelleschi <BR> <BR>In Venice - either Saturnia or Gabrielli <BR> <BR>Also, in Rome - I've heard some good and bad about the Inn at the Spanish Steps - any other comments. <BR> <BR>Thanks so much for your help.

You need to name the place in the title.

I stayed at the Saturnia in Venice in October,1999. Good restaurant, well located hotel. Most rooms were very good. Our's was, I think, the best one assigned to anyone in our tour group. No canal view (just a small court yard); but, what made it special was it was two levels. The bedroom was on the second level. A small seating area (with TV) and a huge bathroom were on the first level. <BR>Staff was helpful.

Good evening, Michele <BR>Have used the Saturnia three times since <BR>1996 and we have been very satisified <BR>with it and its ristorante La Caravella. <BR>The web site for THE INN is www.atspanishsteps.com/ <BR>Cannot comment on the other hotels as <BR>have not stayed at any of those. <BR>Richard of LaGrange Park,m Il..

Thanks everyone - can't wait to hear more......
