My husband and I are planning our first trip to Italy. We have decided to spend Christmas in Rome and ring in the New Year in Sorrento. We're thinking 5 nights in each location. Tons of sightseeing in Rome and exciting day trips from Sorrento sound like the perfect recipe for a fascinating holiday season. I would love to hear from those who have experienced a similar holiday and can recommend unique restaurants off the beaten path as well as nice accommodations. Since we are planning to stay in each location more than a night or two, we are willing to splurge a bit on accommodations.
I look forward to your comments and recommendations.
