Product Description
About the Author
Paula has spent the last five years living in and writing her way around the fringes of the Mediterranean, from a cultural history of Libya to Lonely Planet projects in Italy, Morocco and Spain. This has given her a deep appreciation of the composite oriental and occidental culture that makes southern Italy and Sicily endlessly fascinating, while repeated visits over the years have allowed her to savour the changing colours and contexts of Mediterranean life. When not climbing mountains and volcanoes to work off the worst excesses of Italian restaurants, Paula lives in London and contributes travel articles to the Telegraph, Independent, Daily Express and Wanderlust Travel Magazine.

Pretty weak book, lonely planet. This book will try to convince you that the only thing to do in Italy is visit museums. Well, two is enough for me. The hotel listings are not very in depth. And the fact that the price coding is not next to the name on the map legend means you will be flipping back a forth a lot. The book setup is awkward, with sleeping accommodation near the end of each town's section. I every town they mention 20 museums to visit with some lengthy descriptions, but then only mention 4 places to sleep. These places will undoubtedly be booked full, so guess what? You're gonna be wandering the streets for a couple hours. I've used the Footprints brand of travel guide, and found them much better.
