This is the best book I've ever used for finding hotels in Paris and Mont-St. Michel. The rooms were great, clean, well located, and the detailed descriptions of each hotel and best rooms were greatly appreciated and right on the money.

Hello Italy: Best Budget Hotels in Italy : 16 Italian Cities Review

Margo loves to travel and write about her experiences. In this guide she gives useful Italian Phrases for Hotel Reservations, tells you where to find bookstores and explores centrally located hotels in 16 Italian cities. Travelers all over the world trust the Hello guides and the first part of this book is filled with wonderful letters from people who also read books by Rick Steves and Fodor. They love how Margo personalizes the experience by giving tips on where to shop for groceries, where to find Internet cafes and even where to do your laundry. She explains why less is more when thinking about luggage and I was smiling as I read about her adventures with suitcases on cobbled streets and running through the rain.
If you want to take a trip without relying on travel agents or want to make your trip more affordable, then Margo's books have a lot to offer. Even travel agents rely on her books! This is her tenth book in the series and she wrote her book about Italy while traveling with her husband. So romantic!
You can select hotels bases on the number of people or fun things like "fabulous sea view." The chapter on Florence is very entertaining. You can choose from walking tours to day trips and the list of bookstores also has the times they are open. There are amusing details about restaurants and Margo explains where to find the best sandwiches, although the owner is a little brusque. The list of "unusual things to pack" make your trip so much more comfortable and enjoyable.
The unique thing about these books is that Margo and her husband pay for all their expenses, so you get the real and honest approach and none of the hotels or restaurants have paid to be included in this book. The pictures throughout the book make this a charming guide with a wonderful personal approach and a sense of adventure.
