During our trip to Italy, our vacation package included lodging at some pretty decent hotels with adequately sized rooms. However, for those of you who prefer to create you own package, and are looking for a little more space than your average European standard room, there are other lodging option to consider - Apartments and Bed & Breakfasts. For example, if you booked a typical a bed & breakfast in Rome such as Residenza Reginella , it would include: an entry hall, master double bedded room with balcony, an extra double bedded room with single bedded couches, fully equipped kitchenette, and bathroom with shower. The space could accommodate up to five people, also offering air conditioning, satellite colour TV, and ADSL internet.
An apartment in Florence such as Appartamento Stella Firenze would include: a living room with a sofa bed and a king size bed or twin beds, a kitchen that includes a fridge, microwave and dishwasher, and closet space for storage - and could accommodate up to four people. Another option is a cozy family-run hotel in Naples like Hotel Duomo. These alternative types of lodging definitely have benefits for those traveling in groups or just want a new experience.
