Venere Web Site Reservations
We have made a couple reservations thru this web site. Have any of you used this service? I don't want to think I have a reservation and when I get there have a problem. Do you just show a copy from the computer?

I've used them a few times for hotels in Italy, France and Greece and have never had a problem. I do as a general rule call the hotel a few days after making the booking to confirm the reservations (and its existance!!) and rate. I'm pretty paranoid about hotels claiming they didnt receive my reservation so I also call a few days before I am scheduled to arrive!!! So far its been fine...knock on wood!

I also had no problems with them on a recent trip. Two reservations, both exctly as reserved. Didn't even need to show the reservation form, since my name was in their reservation book, but I had the printouts on hand in case there were any problems.

I agree with the others. I've used them many times. In fact they are the first site I always check. Never had a problem. Since I usually make reservations a few months ahead of time, I do email the hotel a couple of weeks before to confirm that they still have the reservation though. They always do.

Hi BL,
I've been using them for my Sept trip and so far it has worked fairly well.
However, I have found that the majority of the hotels do not reply and that the majority of hotels come up "not available" when you try to book this far out. When I contacted the same hotels directly, most of them very glad to make a reservation for me 8 months in advance.
I did have 3 reservations go through and received an e mail "voucher" which they instruct you to print and take with you.
Like the posters above, I will confirm about a month prior.
Buona fortuna!
