http://turismo.regione.veneto.it/ Venice region tourist infor. Remain on the Italian page (the English page will bring you back to the Italian again). Here's your cheat sheet on how to pull up a list of "Alberghi". Under "cerca un albergo nel commune di" (= searching for a hotel in the city of) put in "Venezia" or "Roma" or whatever city you're seeking; under "scegli categoria" (select the category) the number of stars your hotel should have (two or three, etc), then hit "cerca" (=search). You'll find a list of hotels in alphabetical order -it's important to know that all those with "Mestre" as part of the address are situated on the mainland and not on the island of Venice.
After you have selected a hotel, you'll find the address in the upper and the rate in the lower part. The rest is informing you how many rooms the particular hotel has, what languages are spoken, etc. "Singole" means single "doppie" means double-room, "senza bagno" without bathroom, "con bagno" with bathroom. The rates given are minimum-maximum, depending on the season and the location and size of the room.

http://turismo.regione.veneto.it/ Venice region tourist infor. Remain on the Italian page (the English page will bring you back to the Italian again). Here's your cheat sheet on how to pull up a list of "Alberghi". Under "cerca un albergo nel commune di" (= searching for a hotel in the city of) put in "Venezia" or "Roma" or whatever city you're seeking; under "scegli categoria" (select the category) the number of stars your hotel should have (two or three, etc), then hit "cerca" (=search). You'll find a list of hotels in alphabetical order -it's important to know that all those with "Mestre" as part of the address are situated on the mainland and not on the island of Venice.
After you have selected a hotel, you'll find the address in the upper and the rate in the lower part. The rest is informing you how many rooms the particular hotel has, what languages are spoken, etc. "Singole" means single "doppie" means double-room, "senza bagno" without bathroom, "con bagno" with bathroom. The rates given are minimum-maximum, depending on the season and the location and size of the room.

a sticky - to reply to my/your post on the old list - is a post that somehow always stays at the top of a forum. Moderators and web gurus can fix it somehow so that it is always there. It is really handy for posts like yours, or the Paris superthread...

First of all: happy new year everybody!
Great list! I was especially interested in the Italy links and Sicily in particular. I'd like to add a few to the Sicily links if I may: www.on-Sicily.com After having read some nice reviews on the net we booked our summer holiday here and got lots of helpful advice from the Dutch couple that runs the site and live in Sicily.
And here you'll find lots of B&B's: http://www.bed-and-breakfast-sicily.it/ We loved the B&B Giucalem in Piazza Armerina.
Cheers,
Mark
