    We had the most fabulous trip that I could have imagined. I did not want it to end but there it is! We had a perfect mix of planned and unplanned. The hotels were great - each with its own little charm. The tour guides were both superb, especially the one in Florence. Her depth of knowledge was so interesting that I think she could do whole trips with just the artwork. She knows and loves her Florence. There is nothing that I can think of to have made it any better except maybe more time :-). The booklet that you sent us was so very helpful. It had great ideas and we could look things up when we would get overwhelmed. The guides had a suggestion or two as well for us. We did find the yarn place in Chianti you suggested and it was very fascinating. Thanks again for everything.

Annexed to the Royal Palace is the Royal Park, which was also designed by Luigi Vanvitelli. Throughout the 300-acre complex you can admire esplanades, formal gardens, ornate fountains, the Large Fish Livery, the Miniature Castle, a botanical garden referred to as the "English Garden", an Open Air Theater and a magnificent waterfall which Vanvitelli himself enriched with many sculptures of Roman gods, goddesses and realistic animals.
