“Two days in Verona plus 5 at Lake Garda. Italian Short Break, excellently organised by Weekend A la Carte from start to finish. Hotel Firenze in Verona, good basic hotel . Standard rooms small so go for the upgrade. Included breakfast had a good range including hot food. Tickets for Carmen upgraded to platinum foc. Row 3 in the centre, fantastic! Would recommend Restaurant close to Romeo and Juliet. Balcony. Travattoria Pompier, very popular so book ahead , food and service excellent at a reasonable price. Excellent personal transfer by car to Grande Hotel Garonne. Lake Garda , perfect. Excellent room with balcony and Lake view. A La Carte Restaurant in the hotel a little expensive but food excellent . Included breakfast very good with excellent range. Plenty of restaurants locally , R. Nicholas well worth a visit. Perfect private transfer to the airport. This was a special break to celebrate my wife’s birthday, delayed by two years. Excellent support throughout by Hannah at Weekend a la Carte. All in all a perfect week and I would recommend anyone to use them. Thank you all.”

“Lovely trip to Verona. The hotel was lovely, the opera was spectacular, the day trip to lake Garda was great. The only disappointment was the 'wine tasting' and meal, which was not what we expected. There was no wine tasting or even explanation of the wine, we were just shown to a table and given 2 glasses of prosecco and a glass of red wine with the meal.”

Good morning Fay, Thank you for your feedback on your recent Verona trip. I am looking into your comment regarding Al Cristo with our supplier as was not aware of this. I will come back to you once I know more. I hope this point notwithstanding, you will consider us again for your next trip! Kind regards Hannah

“Every detail that we discussed was seen to, in a professional and helpful manner. The quality of each aspect of our trip was consistently excellent, from the hotels and bedrooms, to drivers & transport vehicles and the seats at the Opera. Nothing was overlooked, despite several of our last minute problems, the trip was seamless and wonderful. I would very confidently recommend Italian Short Breaks to every one I know!”

“What a great trip! We had the best seats at the Verona opera. The Hotel Accadamia is very central but quiet and is excellent. We were driven in style to The Grand Hotel in Gardone for the two day stay in what is a stunning setting. That too was excellent. The entire trip went like clockwork, (even at Manchester airport). Thank you very much Hannah. I'm sure we will return.”

Good morning Nick, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. I am so pleased you had a great time, and will forward your comments to everyone involved. You are right, Manchester flights are doing a lot better now and Jet2 are also providing the best airline so far this summer. I hope you will consider us again in the future. Kind regards Hannah

“A superb service. we originally booked pre pandemic and Hannah did a marvellous job booking & confirming flights/trains/hotels/events/transfers…and then early pandemic - having to cancel & repeat … and then late pandemic – having to cancel & repeat again and finally (third time lucky) finalising what turned out to be an extremely enjoyable seven day break in Verona and Venice. Both hotels (Accademia and Metropole)were high quality in all respects and being centrally located were a very good base to explore. All the wrap-around stuff (transfers etc) that are important for a smooth break worked well and we will probably use the company again.”

Good morning Graham, Thank you for your great feedback. I will make sure everyone involved is updated. It's taken a lot of work getting this to happen due to Covid delays, so just so pleased you got to enjoy your wonderful trip. Kind regards Hannah

“We had a wonderful short break in Verona, the hotel Firenze was in a very good location to walk to the places of interest and a stones throw from the arena, excellent bars and restaurants. Our seats at the opera we're exceptional and we enjoyed every minute. The only complaint was we were unaware we didn't have pre-booked seats on our flights. It would have been helpful, and cheaper, to have been told in advance. As I checked in 9 days before our flight the only available seats together were extra leg room. Hannah did a excellent job otherwise in what has been a difficult 2 years.”

Good morning June, Thank you for your wonderful feedback regarding your recent trip to Verona. I'm so pleased to hear you had a great time and have forwarded your feedback to everyone involved. I'm a little confused however, in regards to your comment about seating on the flights. We leave this to our clients to arrange as they prefer. I hope you have a good week and will consider us again for your next trip! Kind regards Hannah

“Our trip to Milan was delayed by 2 years due to Covid. The cancellation was handled efficiently. Throughout the past 2 years we were kept informed of developments so that we could decide when to rebook the trip. The rebooking was handled efficiently, including a last minute flight cancellation. The trip included flights,transfers, hotel, opera, and da Vinci’s Last Supper. We did not have any problems with the bookings made by Italian Short Breaks. The Italian Short Breaks staff were very efficient and friendly. In particular we would like to thank Hannah, who rearranged our trip, for her attention to the details of the trip and getting everything right. She responded very quickly to our emails and was very efficient and friendly throughout.”

“We want to thank you for assisting in creating an incredible journey! Everything was handled beautifully which resulted in a worry free, fantastic trip! The only thing we would have changed is making arrival days free days so we could be rested for the activities . All of the services were fabulous and will be remembered forever as an absolute best of vacations!”

Dear Linda Thank you for taking the time to give us a review, and i am so delighted you had such a wonderful time- after such long a wait. I know you were nervous because of the Covid Situation and i'm so pleased that everything went so well. I have passed your comments onto the local teams in Venice, Vienna and the Orient Express. Thank you again Regards Abigail

“From start to finish our experience with Italian Short Breaks was first class.They organised a four night break on Lake Maggiore, followed by a day in Milan and a night at La Scala to see Rigoletto with THE Rigoletto, the one and only Leo Nucci, for which we had 5th row stall seats. The Hotels were excellent and the transfers went like clockwork. Our driver from Milan to Malpensa airport, sadly on our way home was very entertaining and informative. We would definitely use Italian Short Breaks again and would highly recommend their service.”

“When I first showed interest in using you for this trip to Italy you attached a sheet of reviews. They were absolutely glowing! I’m pleased to say that I can happily add to them. From start to finish (apart from flight delays both ways - hardly your fault) the holiday went like clockwork. The driver was waiting for us in Milan, the guide for the Last Supper and The Duomo (Clara by name) appeared on cue with our name on a card outside the church and she was excellent. So knowledgeable about both parts of the trip and took us to other sites of interest walking between the two. We would have just gone straight from one to the other! The main event - Rigoletto at La Scala was amazing. A packed auditorium, a superb performance and a standing ovation at the end (virtually everyone on their feet) which just went on and on. My wife described it on Facebook as “The birthday present of a lifetime. Just wonderful. On our day at leisure we “did” central Milan on a hop on - hop - off bus. A wonderful day rounded off with a superb meal al fresco in a restaurant seven floors up on top of a department store looking out at The Duomo. So (very) thank you.

Unfortunately now you will be seated slightly further back – 5C &5D outbound and 5A & 5B returning. Basically as they changed planes and reference number, Row 2 was fully booked in the process, so hence the change. I have updated and attached your ATOL, eticket and Travel Plan with this change accordingly (all other details remain the same). As recompense Flybe have offered a £28 refund for your seating being several rows further back. If you are able to send through your bank name, sort code and account number, I”

“Absolutely marvellous break, transfers perfect, very nice Hotel, literally a stones throw to The Duomo, Teatro alla Scala and many other attractions, and our evening at the Opera was beyond expectations, row 3 in the stalls for a wonderful production of Rigoletto, my eighth, and now number one, awesome staging and exceptional singing and acting with Rigoletto truly outstanding. Weekend a la carte we thank you, and will be return customers.”
