Where to stay in Rome:

~ Made in Rome

Made in Rome has to be one of the best places to stay in Rome, Italy.  We had the pleasure of staying in this perfect Bed and Breakfast on our honeymoon trip.  

This place is as luxurious as B&B’s get! The hosts were incredible and really friendly. 

We chose one of their cheaper rooms (Rione Monti) as we knew we wouldn’t be spending much time in the room anyway. 

The location is perfect, only few minutes from the amazing Colosseum. 

We cannot recommend Made in Rome highly enough!  So much cheaper than hotels of similar style too!

The hotel features 4 beautifully appointed guest rooms, many of which include internet access – wireless (complimentary), air conditioning, heating & a large balcony/terrace. Besides, the hotel’s host of recreational offerings ensures you have plenty to do during your stay. Made in Rome Bed & Breakfast is a smart choice for travellers to Rome, offering a relaxed and hassle-free stay every time. (quoted from Agoda)

Where to stay in Venice:

~ Ca Bonvicini

We booked the room with a balcony over a typical Venetian canal.  And the view from our room was just superb.  To stay in a hotel with a view over one of these little canals has always been a dream of ours. Little balcony from the super cool Venetian decorated private room.  What else do you need?  I loved staring at the rustic buildings across the way, loved staring down at the gondolas passing by on the canal way down below.  Read our review of this hotel here.
