We selected the Dream Domus B&B in Florence. The information was correct, but failed to mention the 45 steps one must climb to reach the B&B - it's on the 3rd floor (US standards) - no elevator - in Europe it's the 2nd floor, as stated in the book. This is a problem for people over a certain age - think of carting luggage all the way. A nice young woman helped - she carried our heavier pieces up and down.

Karen Brown books are essential to all my trips to Italy. I have made 4 different trips from the North to the South and to Sicily. I am
grateful to her because we have stayed in some amazing places that were recommended in her books. Its VERY unlikely I would have ever found these, often unique, charming inns and hotels without her books. A few caveats are; the place/Inn/Hotel etc. may have gotten a little 'shop worn' since the original Karen Brown visit a few years prior and the owners may be less charming to you than someone there to review them and give them a 'stamp of approval' and put them in a very high profile travel book. I might suggest that Karen Brown
or staff re-review these places more frequently and do so anonymously. While I give her books very high marks there were a couple un-
pleasant surprises. Oh well, travel is never 'fool proof' and I still give her books a 95%!
