Going to Italy?

Do you want to have the most amazing Italian vacation possible?

Critically acclaimed and widely popular, the Italy Guide, now in its 5th edition, continues to offer readers a native's insight into one of the most captivating countries in the world. The author, Douglas E. Morris, lived in Italy for nearly 10 years, and has compiled his local knowledge into this comprehensive book that offers close to 700 pages of insider tips and expert advice that help travelers become natives.

From the Church of Bones in Rome (decoratively arrayed with skeletons of Cappucin monks) down to the Cite Sotteraneo (Naple's hidden underground passageways), and through the Vasarian Corridor (spanning the Ponte Vecchio in Florence), the Italy Guide steers readers to unique travel experiences, while also offering informative descriptions of Italy's most famous destinations. All the major destinations are featured, including: Rome Florence, Venice, Sicily, the Amalfi Coast, Milan, the Lake Region, Genoa, the Alps, Tuscany, Umbria, and so much more!

When sated with the splendor of Italian art and architecture, and famished from a day's touring, Morris serves up a variety of Italian eateries where your meal will be tantalizingly delicious and your fellow patrons welcoming natives rather than other tourists. The Italy Guide specializes in featuring superb, authentic places to eat and drink, including colorful local enoteche (wine bars), small family-owned trattorie, charming little café, fine upscale ristorante, mouth-watering gelaterie (ice cream parlors), sinful ciocolatterie (chocolate stores), superlative pizzerie, and every other eatery Italy has to offer.

The Italy Guide also highlights the best hotels and resorts in every star rating, including charming inns and bed-and-breakfasts. Morris features places of the highest quality and comfort at the most reasonable prices. If you want to experience true Italian life, stay in relaxing accommodations, and see the most memorable sights the country has to offer, the Italy Guide is written for you.
