My husband and I arrived in both Florence and Venice without hotel reservations. When we arrived in the cities we used the book to select our hotel and called them. In Florence, our first pick was vacant. In Venice, the 3rd was vacant. The book described them accurately. The 2 that we stayed at were both wonderful and inexpensive.

This book was useful to me in some previous trips to Italy. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I wish the info was kept more current.

Bought this book to help me plan a New Years Trip to italy, and though it was helpful and interesting, I think I had better luck browsing around on the internet on sights like Venere and rick steves bulletin boards. The one thing i really did like is that she gives honest opinions about the hotels, and most of them were spot on. I would recommend this book as a baseline for finding hotels, but also look for reviews online. It was also really nice that she has a range of price options, though most of them were a little over our budget. Good if you want to spend $150 and up a night, then it would be a really great book. Otherwise, stick to the Let's Go books.
