Two adults and one 14 yr old are strongly considering Florence or Rome for a 10 day Christmas vacation this year. We have never been and was wondering if anyone had suggestions for us. We are looking for a two room hotel suite/sudio apartment, and we like the history/art/structures/to get to know the people/countryside and city.
Any and all suggestions are appreciated. Thank You,
Delray, FL.

It's the week end so if you don't get many replys, top your thread on Monday.

Try using the text search box. Type in "rome and apartments" or "florence and apartments" and you'll come up with a fair bit to start you out. Also, check out www.slowtrav.com. You'll find plenty of honest recommendations and descriptions over there.

Hi, Try www.sleepinitaly.com or guestinitaly.com for appartments and b&b's.

Best, Eileen
