Hotel San Giovanni, Porto-Vecchio

Advantages: fullfil your pleasure
Disadvantages: nothing

...Florence is,in italian as Firenza,one of well known cities of Italy that most people visit. It is very beautiful and clean. The famous religious centre is in Piazza del Duomo and Piazza San Giovanni,there is a cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore which was decorated in pink, white and green marble. I like this cathedral very much. The Baptistery of San Giovanni is located in front of Santa Maria del Fiore,there is a famous door-it is called as Gate of Paradise by Michelangelo-which Lorenso Ghiberti worked on them for 27 years,it was a great master piece of him. I went to Florence in october 2000, one of palace i was really impressed is Palazzo Vecchio because I thought it was really a creative architecture.

Advantages: Close to beautiful natural places, good beaches, not so expensive as other areas in mallorca,
Disadvantages: not enough Spanish restaurants or bars

...Beautiful place, close to natural beauty. You can take a car, motorbyke or a byke (if you are in use) and go to beautiful small sandy beaches. You can visit Cala de San Vicent, Cala de Fomentor the bus takes about an hour for those places or also you can take a boat from Pollensa beach, which is very nice, but remember to take water with you and the camera...the view is absolutely gorgeous! During the night you can go to other near cities or stay in POllensa beach. Hotels and restaurants offer parties or live music...or simply you can drink wine or sangria in the seafront..do not miss it! Food is not bad, but if you want to eat spanish food you will not find the type of food you can find in the continent... If you are looking for a good paella, bocadillo ( sandwich with spanish ham) I strongly recomend to go to Palma (about two... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful church, important historically.
Disadvantages: You have to pay to get into the cloisters and you can't see the 10 year old italian children struggling up the holy steps on their knees!

...San Giovanni isn't necessarily top of the tourist trail in Rome. This is probably because of it's location. It isn't as central as most of the other attractions and is certainly the reason I didn't venture out to San Giovanni until my fourth or fifth visit to Rome, but I am sorry I left it so long! San Giovanni was Rome's first church, and indeed, is still Rome's cathedral, predating St Peter's, perhaps surprisingly. It was built (or at least started!) by the Emperor Costantine and his statue stands, impressively, in the forecourt. Of course the Cathedral, having survived a number of fires, invasions and battles, has changed significantly since the Roman era, but it retains much of the grandeur and is certainly a very impressive sight. The church itself is massive, of course, this is Italy, experts when it comes to large church... Read review
