“This is the 4th trip I’ve taken with Weekebd a la Carte - for the Palio in Siena. Again, everything brilliantly organised and everyone went to plan. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Sara”

“I described, in broad terms, what I wanted: Verona operas, Lake Garda, and the Palio in Siena, and let Weekends a la Carte fill in the blanks. They were most cooperative, most selective in the places we stayed, and the travel arrangements were uniformly excellent. Good personal service from Hannah Netting also. We would definitely use this company again, and recommend them highly.”

“Thank you so much for organising our wonderful trip to Verona and Lake Garda. The hotels were excellent and perfect for our needs. Our seats for the Opera were superb. The Verona city pass was very useful for sightseeing and much appreciated. Our boat trip and guided tour of Lake Garda island was very enjoyable. We would not hesitate to recommend the company.”

“Thank you. The weekend was amazing. The bottle of champagne was a wonderful start to my husbands 70th birthday celebration. Hotel was perfect location, calm and quiet, lovely room and amenities. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a bit mediocre, but ok for us. We ate in some amazing restaurants every evening. Would recommend Osteria Le vecete - fantastic food, ambience and service. My one suggestion would be to be very clear in your information on what the dress code is for the opera, as we didnt see tickets until arriving at hotel. I got impression of smart casual. The gold tickets indicated formal attire. On enquiring at the hotel reception, I was informed that my husband needed to wear long sleeve shirt and a jacket, not necessarily a tie. Unfortunately he did not have a jacket - as so hot. We went shopping and bought a jacket which was fine. However when we went to the opera on Sunday night the dress code we had been given, did not appear to be enforced. There were men in jeans, short sleeve shirts.........etc. We did however have great seats and the experience was delightful. We both thoroughly enjoyed Carmen. Thank you again”

“The few days that we have just enjoyed in Italy - booked through Italian Short Breaks - were amazing. Every pick-up/collection was punctual with a top-of-the-range Mercedes being used. The drivers were smartly dressed and amenable. The seats for the Opera were wonderful as were the 2 hotels we used - one in Lake Garda and one in Verona. If we were looking to 'find-fault' with anything - we couldn't do so ! Peter and Jenny”

“Good hotel, good location, best seats for the opera's, very well organised by Weekend a' la Carte. Only down side, I chose Manchester Airport, my mistake. Love Italy, still love Italy.”

“All arrangements were as advertised. We preferred the Hotel Milano to the Accedemia, particularly for location. Hotel Grande Gardone was very good with excellent service. The Museum card should be advertised as including bus transport as this was not made obvious. The opera seats were excellent”

“A 50th birthday treat for my sister, our two centre break in Verona and Venice could not have been better.The professionalism and organisation from Hannah and Shirley were spot on and they are a credit to the company. The transfers, by car and boat were on time and exactly as arranged.Both hotels, the Accademia in Verona and especially the Metropole in Venice were first class with friendly and professional staff. The opera was spectacular, and with the best seats in the house we felt very spoilt. We were also lucky enough to enjoy the eclipse and blood moon whilst watching the opera. We had city passes for both Venice and Verona were able to see all the sights as well as travel independently to Lake Garda for the day. I would highly recommend Weekend al a Carte, and will certainly look to booking with them again in the future. A big thank you from both my sister and myself. Amanda Rowe”

“Incredibly efficient! Great choice of hotel and background notes were helpful. One of the drivers (back to the airport) thought he was at Monza even though we had loads of time. It was disappointing that the Opera turned out to be only a concert performance-not a full staging- as we expected. We will certainly use the company again for a short break but will check the opera programme more carefully.”

“A golden wedding treat so a bit more expensive than we might perhaps usually buy. Although the flights were 'no frills' all went smoothly and we were met by a lovely lady with a showroom Mercedes which she drove with great skill to the excellent hotel in the centre of Verona old town. Hotel and staff were of the best. Seats at the opera were excellent and the performance out of this world. We spent 101 euros each for slightly cheaper seats for the following night but these were very uncomfortable although the opera was again stunning. A trip to lake Como completed our visit on the final full day, an easy journey by train and ferry. Journey home reflected the outward journey in punctuality. Only complaint was the airport; it really is time for expansion and upgrade. All staff at Weekend Short Breaks were lovely to deal with. Hotel staff could not have been more helpful. A great holiday and one that we will always remember.”

“Opera weekend in Lucca Airports apart, we had a fabulous weekend. The hotel was quiet, air conditioned (34 outside) and well positioned for sightseeing. The transport was exceptional! Nothing was too much trouble. We asked to be picked up an hour earlier so we could have supper by the lake before the opera which we would highly recommend. The tickets were brilliant and Tosca outstanding. So all in all a great success. Many thanks for organising it so well. Margret Lillington and Friends”

“We enjoyed a special few days in Italy to celebrate an important birthday. Week-end a la Carte were overall efficient, friendly and very helpful. They absolutely delivered what was requested and personalised our arrangements to include a surprise on arrival. We had one hiccup but it was resolved quickly with no fuss. Man thanks”
