Wedding band/DJ sorrento wedding

I have a wedding to go to at Villa Balbiano. A couple of questions:

* Are there any good hotels within walking distance ($200 per night?)

* While the wedding is a one day event, my plan is to spend two nights at Lake Como at the Hilton or the Hyatt and move to the hotel near Villa Balbiano on the day of wedding. How expensive are the cab rides? The distance from Hilton to Villa Balbiano is close to 30 km.

Thanks!

Looking for recommendations to hire a villa for 10 persons in Italy next June/July for 9 nights. Preferably within walking distance to town and coast or lake. TIA

We are 2 families - one : 2 adults and 2 children (18,21) and other family: 2 adults with a six year old child who shall be going overland from Sicily to Amalfi Coast in early July 2021. We were considering driving to Messina from Raguza area, take the ferry and drive to Maratea and stop overnight. The next day we shall drive to Sorrento and stay there for a few days. This was our draft itinerary so far.:

DAY 1 :

Drive to Messina - Ferry to Villa San Giovanni, Drive to Maratea and stay Maratea

DAY 2 :

Drive and stop to visit Salerno, then Vietri sul mare, Cetara and finally Sorrento and

stay at Sorrento (accommodation for next few days)

DAY 3 :

Drive and stop to visit Positano and then Praiano and see town centres. Return Sorrento

DAY 4 :

Drive and stop to visit Ravello and Amalfi and see town centres. Return Sorrento

DAY 5 :

Visit Sorrento Centre and Drive to Napoli or Salerno to catch Ferry to Palermo or Messina in the evening- overnight stay on the ferry

DAY 6 :

Arrive Palermo or Messina - depending on the ferry trip and availability. Spend a day in Sicily and end of trip.

Any suggestions please re entire itinerary. Not sure whether we should stop in Maratea or somewhere close - not to have a long way driving and whether to base ourselves at Sorrento. We are also undecided whether to catch the Ferry To Palermo or to Messina?

Please advise

Is it possible to visit the refectory in San Giorgio Maggiore to see the facsimile done by Factum Arte?

We have planned out and booked most of a 2-week trip to Italy. We had to cancel this same itinerary in the fall of 2020.

We are set to arrive in Italy on August 29th, 2021 with a week in a villa just outside of Montepulciano then on to Sorrento and Rome for another week.

Does anyone have a sense of whether hoteliers and villa agents have cancellation mandates or guidelines now that Italy is back at Red Alert?

We want to take it all in while in Italy, and would not want to be restricted from restaurants, have to wear masks most of the time, etc.

We are traveling to Italy for our 25th Wedding Anniversary - we will be going from Rome, to Cinque Terre, to Florence, to Venice and Milan. We plan on traveling exclusively by train. Is there a need to buy any/all tickets in advance? Is a pass worth considering or do we by individual tickets for each journey?

Thanks in advance!

We are traveling to Rome for 3 days and then we are off to the Amalfi Coast. We have been to Rome 2x so I would like to spend a night in a unique city/villa in the countryside between Rome and Amalfi. Any suggestions? I would love to stay in an old castle. We will need to travel by train

I’ve read and seen that car rental places are closed on Sundays in Bolzano. We will be taking a train from Florence to Bolzano - or at least we had planned to. And then drive to our hotel in Badia BZ. What would you guys recommend to do? We can’t get the car on Monday because that’s our wedding day. Is there another city close by where the train station is near? Where we would be able to rent a car on a Sunday?

TIA

Hello everyone,

Finally we are getting to go on our honeymoon and booked some last minute flights to Naples in 2.5 weeks time for 8 nights.

We are really struggling with whether or not to stay in Sorrento for the entire 8 nights or to go to Capri (or Positano) for a few nights also. We intend on taking day trips to Pompeii and Herculaneum. To give you an idea of what we enjoy...we like strolling around admiring the scenery, eating nice food and drinking and a fun nightlife; we definitively enjoy a bit of a nightlife buzz!

Look forward to your suggestions :-)

Stephanie.

Hi,

I received 2 vaccines from Novavax and can't find any info as to whether this is acceptable to enter Italy. I was invited to a wedding in Late September. I also plan on going to Greece. Greece does explicitly accept people with Novavax vaccines. I am hoping it will be approved in the next month, and otherwise, maybe get Pfizer in August. Does anyone know if this is ok in Italy. There were 45,000 people in the UK, US trial. Thanks
