“We had a perfect holiday. The Athena hotel is stylish and welcoming. The views from our rooms on the eight floor were stunning. The hotel food was excellent. The seats for the Palio arranged by Shirley were front row Grandstand Mossa; exhilarating. Paulo guided us around Siena at some pace; we saw so much more than just meandering. Thank you.”

“We have just returned from an absolutely brilliant holiday in Verona. Italian Short Breaks organised the whole holiday for us and everything was perfect! We stayed at the Hotel Academia which was lovely - the staff were so friendly and helpful and the hotel supply cold drinks in the lounge during the day which were extremely welcome as the temperature outside had reached 38 degrees!! We went to see Aida at the Arena which was truly an unforgettable experience and a magnificent spectacle! All the transfers were exactly on time and the luxurious air-conditioned cars were also greatly appreciated! Everything went absolutely according to plan and I would highly recommend this company to anyone who would like a short luxury break.”

“This Opera Break in Milan was thoroughly enjoyable Everything went according to plan Booking the break over the phone was easy and the staff were really helpful The fight with British Airways was at sensible times from Heathrow and was relatively quick and painless We had a car to transfer us to and from Milan Linate airport and this was quick and comfortable The hotel Brunelleschi was lovely. Staff provided good customer service and were really helpful The hotel was central and my wife and i really loved Milan The only slight hiccup when we went to the last supper they wanted us to leave some form of identification We did not have any apart from a credit card which i reluctantly left and collected at the end of the visit I think customers should be made aware of this in the travel pack”

Good morning Ian, Thank you for your lovely feedback, I will pass this onto everyone involved. I will also look into the point that you have raised in regards to identification being needed at The Last Supper, as we have not had this before, so will make our clients aware of this in the future. I hope you will consider us again for your next trip. Kind regards Hannah

“A really splendid trip, and all the promised events worked out perfectly - the chauffeur driven car to/from the airport, good and centrally located hotel, and tickets for La Scala (La Traviata) starring P Domingo - bravo! Only quibble is that the final details were only sent to us less than a week before departure and after requesting them.”

Good afternoon Mark, Thank you for your lovely feedback. I'm so pleased you had a wonderful time in Milan and got to see Placido Domingo at La Scala! My apologies for not being able to get the travel pack out faster to you. We were waiting on our suppier to provide the last details and in the process held this up. I will make sure everyone involved sees your feedback and hope you will consider us again for your next trip! Kind regards Hannah

“Excellent. Hotel really well placed, good breakfast, comfortable room and useful rooftop pool for relaxing. Front desk variable. Lunch in hotel restaurant prior to departure very good and unhurried. La Scala excellent; thank you. We could have arrived 30 mins ahead though. Last Supper excellent as was the church and cloister. Voucher needed to be exchanged (not just presented) at a building a further 20 m to the left of the one your pic identified. Atmosfera Tram Dinner superb evening - adopted by an Italian group of 8 who sang away- lovely final night. Transfers worked well. Flights victims of wind and other incidents. We also went to Duomo (too many tourists!) St Ambrogio church - a gem as well as free and empty - and an exhibition of Da Vinci's models which was superior to the equivalent in Amboise. Thank you; we will recommend you to others and hope that the Aurora Nights trip (which looks interesting) lives up to your standard. Booking service impeccable.”

“The weekend was very good for us and the Italian Short Break arrangements worked almost entirely as advertised. The opera, the real purpose of the trip, was everything we could have hoped and more; simply magnificent. The hotel which was reasonably good though not exceptional but certainly in an excellent position. The “almost” refers to the “Last Supper “ visit which was on the itinerary as a “Guided Tour”. We found the ticket office, obtained our tickets and were enthralled by the picture but no guide appeared and we were unclear what, if anything, we should be doing to find one. In the Santa Maria refectory there were two guided groups, neither using English. Perhaps we misunderstood the itinerary in some way? Did we?”

Good afternoon Bruce, Thank you for your feedback on your recent Milan trip. Usually The Last Supper tour is guided with a small group, however, I understand from our supplier on that day no guides were available. I am sorry you missed out on this part of the tour, but glad you got to still see this amazing fresco. I will forward your feedback to everyone involved. Kind regards Hannah

“We had a break in Milan for the opera at La Scala, followed by a three day stay at Lake Maggiore. This was one of the best organised trips ever with chauffeur driven cars from the airport, to lake Maggiore and back to the airport. All at great times and with stays in the best hotels. It could not have been better.”

“We had a truly wonderful time in Verona. Everything was beautifully organised and the hotel Arcadia was amazing. The 2 operas were everything we hoped for and we were so lucky as the Saturday night was rained off for first time this year! There was only 1 small hitch which was quickly sorted out. We would really recommend Weekend a la Carte.”
