I always seem to write articles about food when down here on the gulf of Napoli at Pozzuoli.  It is because the Italians are obsessed with food and what they are going to eat today and how good was it yesterday and yes maybe tomorrow even better…!!! And yes it rubs off on you!!...... read more click below

I have spent the last four days working in Florence and making contact with the wonderful staff of the Passion for Italy Florentine hotels. I must say I think that Florence is taking over number one stance rivaling Roma as my favourite city in Italy.!!I always judge this by the number of time your breath gets taken away e.g. when you turn a corner and there in your view is the most amazing building of sublime architecture and sculpture!! This has happened to me many times this week...

Our accommodation was wonderful. The connection with the apartment contact in each situation was easy and smooth. The apartments were in great locations and clean.
Passion for Italy did a great job for us!
Thank you

Italy is a blast from the past and this I feel, is the real reason why people love to come here. It reminds us of our innocent childhoods when life was simple and tomatoes tasted like real tomatoes. In the historical center of each town there are no flashing neon lights full of advertising – only 400 year old buildings made of marble and sandstone with iron 18^th century street lamps....

Thank you Gemma. I am really getting your "passion" for this place. I am having an experience of a life time. Accommodation has been delightful. Kind regards Marsha

SALONE INTERNAZIONALE DEL MOBILE 2012 -INTERNATIONAL FURNITURE TRADE FAIR is on in Milano April 17-22 2012. This is one of the largest international furniture fairs in the world and very popular as Milan is such a big design city. Milan also has a wonderful design museum - the Triennale Design Museum if you love creativity with furniture.

Many Hotels are booked the year before.  I suggest if you were planning to go to Milan in this period and you do not need to attend the fair then it is best to stay somewhere outside the city if you need to watch your budget. All the hotels raise their prices because of the extreme demand.
