I'm planning a trip in Italy.?

We're driving from Rome, to Amalfi Coast, to Como, to Venice.



Anybody have suggestions on roads, hotels, sights?

Viamichelin is an excellent site for driving directions: http://www.viamichelin.com/ . It includes estimates of the tolls for the autostrada.



I use this site for hotels here in Italy: http://www.venere.com/hotels/italy/ . Accomomdation prices can vary a lot depending on exactly when you stay. In Rome, three hotels that I like are the Accademia which is right around the corner from Trevi Fountain http://www.venere.com/hotels/rome/hotel-鈥?/a> , the Ces脿ri Hotel which is close to the Pantheon in the direction toward Trevi fountain Ces脿ri Hotel and the Hotel Romano across from the forum. http://www.venere.com/hotels/rome/hotel-鈥?/a> All of these are walking distance to the major attractions.



The Amalfi Coast covers a lot of towns. I like to stay in Ravello for the views, but there are lots of options.



In Venice I like the All'Angelo http://www.venere.com/hotels/venice/hote鈥?/a> , the Selvadego http://www.venere.com/hotels/venice/hote鈥?/a> , and the San Mois猫 http://www.venere.com/hotels/venice/hote鈥?/a> which are all close to Piazza San Marco. You can generally find cheaper places on the outer islands like Lido or near the train station. Most areas are walking distance to everything since Venice is pretty compact unless you're on te outer islands or the mainland (Mestre).



The only hotel I've stayed at in Como is the Metropole which is right next to the lake and very nice: http://www.venere.com/hotels/como/hotel-鈥?/a>



There are many other possibilities on te Venere site and you can sort by your budget and location in the town for your specific travel dates.I'm planning a trip in Italy.?
I advise you to go also in Salento!!! the best place are Lecce, Otranto, Santa Cesarea Terme, Leuca, Marina di Pescoluse (especially for the sea), Gallipoli, Porto Cesareo, Campomarino di Maruggio, Oria and Ostuni!!!! they are very great places to visit!!!! =)
