"Thank you for organising a lovely trip. We all had such great fun. Thank you very much for everything. We got to visit the south of Italy (which is just great). Santa Maria di Leuca is so lovely! A special thanks to Giuseppe, the driver, who did so well to please us all. And the food...oh my, so much we put on weight. My children are now in Italy on the trip you organised, no doubt having a great time like we did. Thank you so much for everything and we will certainly get in touch for future trips!"

"We had a fantastic holiday from start to finish, organised by Bellarome. All we did was to tell them where we wanted to go and our dates and they did the rest and all at a reasonable price. We had great timings for flights and an added bonus was we flew with BA and not a low cost carrier. All taxi pick ups were of a high standard with professional drivers and quality vehicles. The hotels were of a good standard and staff were pleasant. The train transfer from Rome to Naples, was easy and Bellarome managed to get us fantastic seats, with loads of leg room and luggage space. The hotel in Rome and the hotel in Naples were both near the train station and thus not very far to walk to. Also, also they were near the city centre. It was also very good to have the mobile number of a Bellarome rep, so we felt able to call if we were to have a problem. Thank you Bellarome for organising such a fantastic holiday for us. Also for your swift itinary planning , flexibility and very pleasant manner. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to friends and family and also in using you again."

"Thanks so much for everything you did to make our stag trip to Turin so fantastic. From helping us choose and book a hotel, arranging our connections and advising us on every single option, we could not recommend your services more highly. The organisation from start to finish was perfect, we appreciated the honest billing and had the total confidence in booking everything through you. The fact you secured us breakfast at our hotel each morning for no extra cost was an added bonus! Overall, I would like to thank you for your responses to all of our queries no matter how small and for the personable service we received throughout. We also appreciated the little pieces of information you gave us which we would never have known of otherwise: you just can't beat local knowledge! Thank you Bellarome, you are stag legends to all 20 of us! We are individually going to be booking our other (more peaceful) Italian trips through you in the future!"
Franco D'Andrea and friends and family, England, April 2012

"You might remember us from booking a tour to Italy for ourselves and our daughter departing from England on the 1st August and returning on the 10th 2011. You mainly dealt with my husband. The reason I am writing to you is that we would like to take a specific tour through Turkey - The book of Revelation Tour, with just a little bit of Greece included. Our problem is that we are a bit neurotic about departing with money on a bogus tour operator and since we are sitting at the bottom of the civilized world we do not know all there is to know about tour operators. We know you and since you played such a huge part in the success of our tour to Italy which was so well organised and rich in experience, we trust you implicitly and if you will not consider it an imposition or a damn cheek, we do need your insight and/or knowledge to tell us whether or not the travel agents who will be planning this tour are legitimate and whether we can trust them to deliver what they say they are going to deliver. The alternative of course is that you might well be in the position of organising this tour yourself. I will send the Itinerary for your scrutiny of dates and places under separate cover. If you cannot advise us or it is against your ethics to give us such information as to the honesty of another travel agent, we will understand. But if you can, we will really appreciate it beyond words."

"We had a great holiday thanks, and the service that Bellarome provided we would describe as very fast, very efficient and very good - full marks. We would recommend the transfer from the Venetian hotel to Venice airport by water taxi, as an excellent idea, takes the hassle out of getting there and all the better if it is a good day with sunshine, which we had. Need to be prepared to walk about 10 minutes from the water taxi drop off point to the airport terminal. The breakfast at Hotel Oxford was excellent and a really good continental spread was put on. The room was kept clean and beds smartly made each day and overall the staff were very helpful, polite and very accommodating. The highlights for us were our trip to Pompeii and the stay in Venice. The local guide we had for the Pompeii trip was excellent, very informative and light hearted. We would recommend the Hotel Palazzo Schiavoni in Venice - excellent location, helpful staff and good breakfast. We enjoyed the walking tour of Venice and would recommend a few hours of just wandering away from the centre of Venice and getting lost. This way we got to see more of the real Venice, off the beaten track, some good local eateries and less tourists."
Mr John Hodgson and Mrs Julia Hodgson, England, March 2012

"Hi, I just wanted to write to you to thank you for your awesome work getting the clubs and transport organised for our stag do in Rome. Everyone had a great time, and the stag returned a broken but happy man. Thank you."
Mr Ken Wyatt, England, February 2012
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'd just like to say thanks for all the organising for our trip. It was nice meeting you at the airport. Everyone had a great time, the Ristorante Tema was excellent, the match tickets were great and people are already talking about going back again for the match in 2014, if so then I will be in touch with you and will definitely recommend your company to anybody I know wanting to go to Italy."
Mr Phil Clifton, England, February 2012
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Just a quick mail to thank you so much for organising our trip to Rome for the rugby. Everything went seamlessly and the stadium tickets were excellent. Pity you wern't involved in organising the weather too! We had a fun few days despite it though and at least England won! We will be in touch for 2014. For future information, the hotel was excellent and we would happily recommend it."
Mrs Christine Lowe, England, February 2012
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You're a star! I just received tickets for the Italy v England match in Rome, thank you so very much for all your advice and help, we will definitely contact you again, and we will recommend you to family and friends. You made this whole query painless for me and have taken away any worries about being conned from unscrupulous companies. Thank you so much for all your help."
Miss Patricia Couch and Mr Robert Anderson, England, January 2012

"We want to let you know that we had a really good time in Genoa, it was the perfect place for us and the most interesting city. A great location for the Christmas period. The tour was very worthwhile and we learnt so much. All our trips went very smoothly and were really enjoyable. The hotel was very good. We would like to thank you for your help and organisation and if we are able to get away next year we will contact you for other suggestions. Thank you once again."
Mr and Mrs O'Neill (and family), N. Ireland, January 2012

"Considering the last minute change to the dates of the match the trip went really well thank you. Thank you so much for your flexibility and hard work in finding another flight back and an extra night at the hotel for us. The transfers were perfect, the Hotel Windrose was lovely, flights ran smoothly, the Roma v Juventus game was brilliant, to say the least, Elio continues to talk about it on a daily basis, he really enjoyed himself and so did I, it was definitely a fantastic experience and a perfect birthday present for Elio. I'm sure this will be the start of many to come, maybe next time a home game in Turin. Thank you for your service, Buon Natale."
Miss Marie Santoro and Mr Elio Salerno, England, December 2011

"We both wanted to say thank you so much for a fantastic mini break in Rome. Everything seemed to go like clockwork. The drivers arrived on time, Hotel Windrose was ready and waiting and it was beautifully located. You booked us onto the CitySightseeing Roma bus tour, which gave us a great overview of Rome and within a couple of days; we were confidently walking around the city. We enjoyed the two Greenline tours excursions also. The idea of having attempted this without Bellarome fills us with terror! The hotel was great, although on the last night, we were treated to a "young family" whose baby howled for most of the night (I suppose that's the luck of the draw). Well done, we had a lovely time. We will not hesitate to recommend Bellarome."
Mr Andrew Stremler and Miss Kate Pankhurst, England, December 2011

"Good morning, just a quick note to thank you for organising our 4 days in Rome. We were sorry to leave but certainly made the most of the trip and saw a huge amount in the time (and walked MILES!). We loved the apartment you arranged for us and I have already recommended it to a few friends who I know would also appreciate it. If we had more time we would have organised a proper drinks party! We were sorry not to meet you but I very much hope we manage to come out to Rome again one day, there is, of course, still so much to see and enjoy. I have also just discovered (too late!) that I have some relatives who live in Rome so that is another excuse to visit. We certainly had an exciting week. Many thanks again for all your help. All the best."
Mrs G Scoular, England, November 2011

"I had a fantastic time in Rome. Hotel Windrose was perfect for what I needed and in a great location. The staff were nice and friendly staff too. On day one I set off on foot from the hotel and found all the main sites very easily. They were all easy to walk too as you said. I got on the open top bus on Friday. The stop for the open-top bus at Termini was a little hard to locate, but once I found the bus I took a nice open air ride to the Vatican. What a huge place! When I first got there I did not know where I was going but there were plenty of friendly people there to point me in the right direction. The following day I walked there and it really is easier and not that far at all. I think I covered a good 10+ miles each day on foot, but it was definitely the best way to see the city and everything it has to offer. The airport transfer was good as well, even with the flight getting diverted to Fiumicino airport, but your driver still managed to be there waiting for me, which was great. I cannot fault the holiday at all, everything was ace and I will definitely go back. Thanks for organising the trip and giving me the peace of mind to get me there safely. Amazing sites, food, location and weather...brilliant! All in all I had an amazing time in Rome, it is a beautiful city. I loved exploring it, so much to see and do! I wandered around from 9.30am till 10.30pm every day I was there and not once was I bored or wanting to go back to the hotel. Fatigue was the only thing that sent me back. Thank you for your exceptional customer service. I will surely come back to Bellarome for my next trip to Rome/Italy. I will be heading somewhere in Italy at least once a year, I have promised myself that! One very happy customer!"
Miss Laura Banks, England, October 2011

"We had a wonderful time and everything went like clockwork, thanks for all your assistance. The only problem was finding the restaurant, but once we did it was a lovely evening and a delicious meal."

"We are back in Australia now, we had a really lovely time in Italy. Thank you for organising Villa, it was lovely and Giuseppe was very friendly and helpful. You did such an amazing job organising everything for a group of 23 people. We will definitely reccommend your services.
Miss Clarissa Sloan, Australia, September 2011

"Our multi-centre trip of Verona, Venice and Dolomites was really good. We especially enjoyed the day tour of the Dolomites. Our personal guide Alex was extremely good and friendly. Everthing on the holiday was very well co-ordinated, just like our last trip with Bellarome. Thank you very much."

"Hi, we just wanted to say thank you for helping put together a lovely honeymoon package for us. Rome was the perfect location, so romantic! The little touches you added really made a difference. Coming off the plan to our driver holding a sign with 'Mr and Mrs Reed' really was lovely, and the bottle of Champagne you had waiting for us at our hotel and the bottle of wine given to us after our delicious meal at Ristorante Tema. Also, all you advice and knowledge on the city was so useful, we was able to see all the romantic sights. We loved the views from Pinchio and the romance of Piazza Navona at night . We love Rome! Thanks again for your help"
Mr and Mrs Reed, England, August 2011

"We had a great time in Rome. It's an enchanting city with lots to see and do. The 1 day Assisi tour was breathtaking as well. Lots of history and culture and our Tour guide was really good. Thank You for organising the trip for us. We truly enjoyed ourselves and were quite reluctant to return home! We will surely recommend our friends to use your agency. Warm regards"
Miss Yogeswary Maniam, England, July 2011

"Thank you for sorting out our itinerary in Rome. Everything went so smoothly and to time. The hotel was located in a very convenient area, and the guided tour office and restaurant were within walking distance as mentioned. Your customer service is excellent. We all had a fantastic time, and will definitely be recommending you to others. Thanks again."
Mrs Thanam Ravagan, England, July 2011

"We had an excellent time and would recommend your services to anyone wishing to take an Italian holiday. I hope you dont mind some feedback - all pretty good. Flights were delayed by 1 1/2 hrs which for Ryanair is unusual, but on arrival the airport transfer was efficient with a nicely appointed vehicle and English speaking driver who threaded his way through Pisa as half of the town was closed for a festival. The location of the Hotel Anabella in Florence was excellent and clean and tidy, the staff perhaps could have been a bit more on the ball when it came to check-out, but thank you for being available and sorting things out so efficiently. Breakfasts here were more spartan and amusing but friendly. Train transfers were excellent, and there was no problem in changing our Rome timings. Bus Tours were as always efficient and a very good way of orientating ourselves around the cities. The Hotel Villa San Maria Lorenzo was beautiful, the location once found was a lively area with a good range of restaurants and easy to walk into the centre of Rome. The breakfasts were full continental which were appreciated. Staff were most helpful and informative. Our Guide for the Vatican Museums tour arrived promptly, and included transport to the Vatican. In all we spent about 5 hours with the guide. He was great fun. The transfer back to the airport was on time, and again efficient. So, we had an excellent time, packed in 3 major cities with train travel. Ate and drank well and have some excellent memories. Best wishes"

"We had a really great time in Rome and the dinner at Ristorante Taverna Trilussa was the icing on the cake. Excellent food and excellant service! We will recommend your holidays and the beautiful restaurant to all our friends. Hope to see you again."

"Thank you for organising my parents trip to Rome. They had a fantastic time and said that everyone was exceptionally nice to them and all the personal touches were greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for all your help in making this a very special event for them both and I would certainly be recommending you to anyone I know travelling to Italy. Hopefully I will manage myself to make this trip in the near future."

"Thank you for arranging our hoilday in Sicily. It was a perfect couples holiday. The flights were smooth, the transfer was really professional and the apartment by the beach was so beautiful - the view was really amazing thanks for making sure we got such a great view! Thanks also for arranging the day trip to Catania, seeing Mount Etna was an interesting experience. We are planning on discovering more of Italy soon and we will be sure to use your services again. Your personalised touch really makes a difference. Speak again soon"

"Thank you so much for your recommendations. The restaurant on Sunday was fabulous. Great food, excellent service and a lovely atmosphere. Followed by a drink and lots of people watching in the beautiful Piazza Navona. Bliss:-) Rome is the best city I have ever been to and I am missing it terribly!!!! Thanks again for helping make our holiday truly brilliant."
Miss Smith, England, April 2011
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything Bellarome did in organising what was a hugely successful stag do in Rome. Everything ran like clockwork, which when navigating 18 either under the influence or hungover blokes made the whole job so much easier. I hope our paths will cross again in the future and thank you also for your patience in dealing with me, as I realise I probably asked too many questions! Congratulations to the Azzuri for your great win over the French in the rugby - it was an absolute pleasure to experience that! All the very best"
Mr Rodbourne, England, March 2011
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Thank you so much for organising our Roman holiday. The flat was terrific, we loved it convenient position (such a classy, busy part of Rome) and the fact that we could relax on the lovely roof-top terrace to eat meals. The fireworks display from the terrace on New Years Eve was something we not experienced before, it was beautiful. We also enjoyed our talks and social meetings with Gabriella. After being on the move in Europe for two weeks prior to Rome, we found it reassuring to come 'home' to an established base each night for a while. We really enjoyed our time in and around Rome and got used to 'walking the corso' like the Romans and riding the trains and buses. The personalised package you arranged for us and the attention to detail really made for an unforgettable trip - thank you so much."

"I just wanted to say thank you very much for all your help in putting together an amazing multi-centre tour of Italy for our customers here in Brazil. They were able to see so many sights such as Polignano a mare, Pompeii, Sorrento, Naples, Rome, Assisi, Siena, Montepulciano, Florence, Verona, Venice, Lake Garda and Milan. Such a fanstastically comprehensive trip of such a beautiful contry. We look forward to working together with you again in the future. PS I put some photographs from the trip on my blog which you can view here"
