- A great start for Walking in Italy
I have found this book an inspiration. So much so that I have moved to Italy and live at the foot of the appenines. The walk to Corno Grande is truely breathtaking.

- Good as far as it goes
The guide is helpful for those areas it covers, which, given the size of Italy, is very limited. Still, the pointers on maps and such are useful and the walks chosen picturesque. The time estimates are bit low, however.

- Beginners Bliss
Not being experienced in walking elsewhere then the peak distrcit or the lakes, I was slightly apprehensive when encountering a self organised walking holiday in Italy.

Having read the reviews I decided on this book. It must be said that this was well worth the money. Easy reading and well described allowed our holiday to be one of the most enjoyable holidays I have had. The book recommends hotels which now by experience are well chosen. The walks decribed are extremely accurate and the local maps are hard pushed to make any walk easier. I will definately use these type books for further "adventures"!

The same goes for how and where to get fuel for a camping stove. If you are camping and arrive by air, ... Read More:
