Reviews by readers

Fabulous way to see Italy!

This is a great book! Took it with me on my last trip to Italy and stayed in some magnificent and historic monasteries where we had home cooked meals and hands-on insight into Italian people and culture. And most nights cost less than the hotels in the same area. The book also tells you about places to visit and local events. This book really enhanced our visit. I already have the author's other book about the Monasteries of Spain. Can't wait to use them both again. Happy travels to you all.

A hit

To be placed in another country planning to spend the vacation i some of Italy's monestaries this book you almost can't live without!

terrible directions! innacurate! embarrassing marketing ploy

I paid 22.95 for this bugger, and would love to have my money back. The the directions to the "Monasteries" are awful. For example directions from Termini station in Rome to a specific monestary states "take metro and get off at
Piazza Barberini" ( might be a good idea to let those unfamiliar with Rome know WHAT LINE THEY SHOULD USE! and where the Monastery is after you exit the metro. this example typifies the type of directions that are provided. Mrs. Barish have you ever taken a bus or a subway? Here is another example of directions provided, "get off at Firenze Santa Maria Novella and then take bus #14" Bus # 14? to where? how far? This book has absolutely NO MAPS so be prepared to dig. Locations described as "centrally" located are actually (when and if you find them with your own map work)often on city outskirts.Very lazy Mrs. Barish. Any one thinking about buying this one should definately save their money.
