Rome to Foggia / Manfredonia to Vieste

Elderly couple 60+ planning 5-night stay in Rome + 5-night stay in Amalfi + 2 or 3 night stay in Naples. April 17-30,2022

Our requirements: Air conditioning, Elevator, Free WiFi, Breakfast included, very very close to public transportation (train in Rome),

Hotels/B&Bs/AirBnB - anything is fine - just looking for a clean bed/s and a clean bathroom. No external noise. No 5-star hotels, please.

Hi there,

If anyone could help with the following, we would be hugely grateful!

My partner, our very active and walking/ climbing/ running 14 month old anc me need to spend a night in Rome in mid-July. We will be coming via train from Florence some time on aSunday and taking a flight out of Rome on Monday lunch time. We are looking for somewhere with easy access to the station, but also somewhere that might provide a little bit of luxury and a treat for the final night of our trip. We imagine it maybe too hot to see much of the city with our toddler (and we will only have the afternoon) so wondered if there was a hotel that was set up to receive families or couples with children - or if anyone has had a really good hotel experience in central Rome they can recommend!

We usually stay in Airbnb’s or camp, so this is new for us.

Our budget is around 200 euro of the one night, give or take.

Thanks in advance

(Oh, and we are up to date on all the necessary covid tests/ quarantines as well as being fully vaccinated)

Hello, can you please recommend a boat trip for a small group out of Vieste.

My husband and I will be traveling through Puglia, staying the last 4 days in Viesta and would love to go on a great boat trip, but are looking for a trip with just a very small group, versus a big tourist boat.

Thank you so much!

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

Hello everyone

Thanks for any help you can provide with this planning query. We plan to visit 4 places over 10 days late March next year. For few different reasons we have to do those 4 places and have only 10 days. Therefore I am looking for the best/efficient way to get these places. Our flight in and out is from Rome. We need to visit friends/ business in Venice, Tuscany and Naples. My initial thought was to stay in Rome for couple of days then travel to Venice then Tuscany , Naples and back to Rome via direct train. But wanted to see if we should instead travel first to Venice, then Tuscany, Naples and finally Rome to make the flight out easier? We are hoping to take flights and train but could get a car if need be especially thinking of Tuscany. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again

Long story short, I had two other trips in planning that my teen daughter eventually vetoed :)

She has requested a culture/sightseeing/city trip over the 'nature' and 'beach' options. She's had a really tough year and with all the anxiety about heading into high school, I would love to make this happen for her. I have about a month to plan this trip, so here's my first attempt at an itinerary. We will be flying in and out of Rome (only option for a direct flight), which we'll be skipping as we have previously visited:

Day 0: overnight flight into Rome, arrive 7:30 am

Day 1: Rome to Naples via high speed train, Napoli, Overnight in Napoli

Day 2: Pompeii tour, Overnight in Napoli

Day 3: Amalfi coast tour (bus tour or private driver), Overnight in Napoli

Day 4: Napoli in the morning, leave for Florence via high speed train, Overnight in Florence

Day 5: Florence, Overnight in Florence

Day 6: Tuscany day trip (bus tour or private driver), Overnight in Florence

Day 7: Train to Cinque Terre w/ stopover in Pisa, Overnight in CT

Day 8: Cinque Terre, Overnight in Cinque Terre

Day 9: Train to Milan, Overnight in Milan

Day 10: Milan in the morning, train to Venice, Overnight in Venice

Day 11: Venice, Overnight in Venice

Day 12: Venice in the morning, Venice to Rome via high speed train or flight, Overnight Rome near airport

Day 13: fly home

Would love to hear your thoughts:

- We like fast paced, but is it too fast paced? Any suggestions?

- I feel like Milan is a bit of a 'detour' and I wonder if it's worth just for one day?

- Should we get TrainItalia passes? Which one?

- I would love to have some flexibility and not prebook hotels in case we want to linger in one area more - is this too much of a risk? (I wouldn't have considered it but i feel like we could 'wing it' this year?)

- Is there anything else I need to pre-book? (ie. tours, transportation, admission tickets, etc).

Thanks all in advance!

I will be in Rome September 5-10 and will need to do some laundry. Either drop off or self service. We will be staying on Via Vittorio Vento. Does anyone have any suggestions for this area? Any other Rome suggestions or insider tips are welcome!

TIA,

Vicki :)

My husband and I are planning a car trip along the Adriatic Coast later this fall. We will fly to Brindisi and stay in or near Lecce for a few days. I'd like to visit Ostuni, Matera (a bit out of the way, I know), Bari, Vieste, Urbino, Ravenna and end in Milano.

First, is this too busy of a trip? We will have approx 16 days but we like to travel slowly.

Second, is the Vieste to Urbino drive too long of a stretch? Should we stop along the coast somewhere? Any recommendations?

Finally, any B&B, vacation rental, hotel or agriturismo recommendations along in or near these cities be greatly appreciated.

I found the viaggiareinpuglia.com website and a couple other sites but would love to hear your recommendations.

Hello!

I just rescheduled my cancelled trip to Oktoberfest and rebooked for December at the Carpediem Roma Golf Club outside of Rome at Via Di Marco Simone 80, Guidonia Montecelio, Roma(RM) Italy. If anyone has been there or knows the area, I would appreciate some advice on whether I would need to rent a car, use taxis, or the train for the week.

As an example, I used Google Maps for directions for the Coloseum, and the train looked reasonable but about 4 km away. I visited Rome once 25 years ago with a tour group but want to be more self-guided this trip.

I mostly plan on visiting Rome for the full duration of the week, but will book an additional night on each at a hotel that provides shuttle to FCO so the airport transportation is not a factor.

So here are some of questions for anyone that can answer:

1. What is the best transportation option?

2. Anything around the area that I should see or do?

3. Are there any grocery stores in the area to stock up my kitchen in the condo?

4. Any advice for single traveler, besides the obvious, in Rome?

5. Any cooking schools or classes that might offer a single day or several hour class?

6. Best things on a budget is always welcome!

Thank you all!

We are headed to Italy in September for a wedding in Amalfi. We are staying in Rome for 2 days before heading down there and we’ll stay there for 4 nights as she has 3 events planned. We are leaving Amalfi on the 14th back to Rome for another 3 days before we fly out. My question is there a day trip recommendations on our way back to Rome? We are planning on taking the ferry to Salerno and than train to Rome. We will have our luggage with us. Any recommendations are appreciated.
