La Casa di Amy, Rome

Advantages: LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION
Disadvantages: Not Hotel for the softies out there.

...We Quatro Fontanas (or the Fountain Travel Club) stayed at the casa Franci last October. The first thing to stress is that this is Bed & Breakfast not a Hotel. The owner and his Family used to live in this Flat (Apartment) they have made it into a Bed & Breakfast and have another Apartment nearby. We booked through VENERE.COM which we find is quite a good site for Italian Destinations, one advantage of this site is that you do not have to pay up front when you book. You pay the Hotel on arrival, so if you need to cancel there is no cancellation charges given the correct notice. The Apartment is located in a Steet to the left of St Peters about 200 yards from St Peters. When you arrive you need to be in the end of the street furthest from St Peters Just past a Large Church. You enter through a locked gate... Read review

Advantages: Happy happy happy
Disadvantages: Even if you don't want to, you will end up smiling

...What? You haven't got this album yet? What are you waiting for? Thankfully, something different to Las Ketchup and the OT guys has come out of Spain, at last. This is the very first album of La Casa Azul, a band of 5 androids that never show up at their concerts. Guille Milkyway made us all believe that the characters were real, giving them names, real voices and pictures of them, but he is the true genius behind the poppy, bubbly lyrics, that make you want to sing and dance away with a smile.

Be warned that the happy feeling is contagious and you might need to listen to a bit of Radiohead to delete that smile off your face. Only "downside" is that you... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic Ski and snowboard school
Disadvantages: Not great Apres ski

...We stayed in Pas de la casa which is a 2 and a half hour transfer from Tolouse. It is not a pretty town, but has a lovely backdrop of the mountains. We stayed in self catering accomodation which was clean and basic. Food and drink in restaurants was not as cheap as advertised online (although drink in supermarkets is cheap, 1 litre of smirnoff vodka 7.40 euros which is £4!) The service was friendly and it helped we spoke french and spanish, but food was pretty poor and food came out at different times which is not good for a big group. I really enjoyed my two snowboarding lessons which are excellent and a must for all learners that go there. I went for the one on one lesson, you learn so much quicker that in a big group.Overall a great place to learn and go tax free shoppping, but definately a budget holiday resort.... Read review
