We were excited that Venere.com has an affiliate program where you can reserve hotels through our web site. We've used the site to research and review hotels and rentals for many years. We've reserved just about every hotel we've stayed at in Italy through the site. The greatest feature is the list of past visitor comments for each hotel. Most hotels have been part of Venere.com long enough to have accumulated quite a few reviews. We've found that if you throw out the worst and the best reviews (you know the type ... there are people who always love, or always hate, every hotel they visit) you get a great picture of what to expect. We have never been disappointed. Click on the link below for Italy reservations, or use the search box on the left side of each page of our site to search all of Europe. Buon viaggio!
