Safe, solid guide to Northern Italy
28 May 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
This guide is what I've come to expect from Frommer's: Good overviews of areas, cities, and attractions. A reasonable number of hotels and restaurants recommended and described for each city. And a flat, consistent tone, one that blends multiple authors into a style that is consistent from guide to guide.
That last point can be good or bad, depending on what you are looking for. If you've had good luck with other Frommer's guides, this one will pick up where you left off on your last trip. But if you like some personal perspective in a guide, if you like a little bit of an edge, you won't find it here. That said, as a start to scoping a trip, this guide has the info and presents it well.
The defining feature of Northern Italy is that it is in Italy, and it is in the north of the country. The area is diverse, and really doesn't share a common history or culture. If you are toying with a visit to Italy, and aren't sure where you want to go, you might be better off with a guide to the whole country. It will have less detail on each region, but will provide a broader picture. If you want to visit a specific area in Northern Italy, you might want to look into a more focused guide. But if you are pondering this part of Italy without a specific plan, this guide will be a good starting point.

A Perfect Guide to Northern Italy's Crowned Jewels!
24 May 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
The Frommer's Guide to Italy especially this version to Venice, Milan, and The Lakes proves that there is so much to see and do in Italy with sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and touch to enhance all five senses.
Like other Frommer's Guides, this book is completely beautiful, easy to use, well-researched, and brilliantly put together. I learned so much just from reading this book and remembered my Venetian weekend only too happily. Venice is one of those places that you have to go in your lifetime. It's beautiful, majestic, historic, and completely one of the world's great wonders.
I was happy to see the hotel where I stayed to be included. I stayed the Westin Europa E Regina which is on the Grand Canal at my sister's expense. It was worth the cost to be there and it was one of the nicest hotel rooms that I ever had. We only did a weekend in Venice but it was worth it. I do think that they should have included John Berendt's book about the city as well in it's non-fiction literature section.
Still, the book is a beautiful piece of work in itself with easy to read pages to note historic contributions of art, religion, and culture to the world. I miss not be able to go to Italy but this book would have helped so much more when we were there. Still I'm glad that I got this book. The Frommer's books about Italy also include another one to Tuscany, Florence, and Umbria as well.
