We had a fabulous intergenerational vacation to Italy. Eleonora could not have planned a better trip for us. She took care of all the details and chose excellent places for us to stay. One of us needed wheelchair assistance and Eleonora rented us a wheelchair that we picked up at our hotel in Rome and left in our hotel in Milan. Thank you! Every driver was on time and every tour guide in exactly the right spot at the right time. Sarah in Pienza and Eleana in Florence were amazing and so knowledgeable as were all of our other tour guides. Our stay in Tuscany was out of the movies. We had a family pesto making class and have already made it back in the states. Eleonora checked in on us throughout our trip and even managed to get coats back to us that we left in one of the cars. I highly recommend Kim Kim and Eleonora. Thank you for the perfect memorable vacation in Italy.

Hotel Reviews
Hotel Metropole Santa Margherita
Santa Margherita Ligure

The staff at Hotel Metropole were amazing. We were stuck in the next town and the trains were on strike. We called the Hotel and they worked their magic and found a ride for 6 of us and a wheelchair back to our hotel within 10 minutes! The spa is their best kept secret!! wow! We loved the bartender and wait staff. If we are ever in Santa Margherita again, we will be staying at the Hotel Metropole!

we had such a great view of the Italian Riviera and walkable to the restaurants and shopping.
Staff
We got to know the staff over the course of our 3 day stay. They were right there to help my dad up when he fell, they know who wanted Americano's and who wanted cappuccinos and who would want 2nds.
