ABOUT ME

 JOHN BREDA

MY NAME IS JOHN BREDA AND I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING TO ITALY FOR OVER 30 YEARS.

I offer travel advice and itineraries to customers for Simply Italy Travel, L.L.C. This is something I thoroughly enjoy. I hope to do the same for you through this website. If you need custom Itinerary Planning then let me know by using the contact section.  I offer a free Zoom session to discuss your needs and if you decide to use my services then the fee is $40.00 per calendar day.  This includes a customized professional itinerary, places to see, restaurants, flight recommendations that are convenient and may save you money, and off the beaten path sights.  I have plenty of experience and love putting together these itineraries.

For the first timers my most important recommendation is to not overdo your experience to see everything; you will just be rushing from one place to another without having enough time to enjoy each location. I hope that what I have in this website is useful to you in planning your Italian vacation, whether it be your first or your 10th. Over the years my wife and I have created diaries for every time we have been to Italy. We have a wealth of travel experiences included in those diaries that I am sharing here. I want to point out both the typical places to go and some lesser traveled towns and cities. I have been to Italy so many times that I literally lost count but every time I go there, I meticulously plan each trip to avoid any issues along the way. If you do some detailed travel planning, it will make your trip that much more enjoyable. I will also work with you to create your personalized Itinerary for your vacation on request.

Over the years we have also traveled to other Western and Eastern European countries and as much as we have loved them, we always come back to this statement “It isn’t Italy”. Italy has its own unique charm, excellent food, beautiful scenery and wonderful people. OK, this is not a surprise to you but by putting some work into your itinerary and doing some research, you can make your vacation a truly magical experience. Italy has its quirks and unique issues as well but somehow one thing that is always true is that I keep wanting to go back. I hope to help you with some of those unique quirks so you can have that same warm feeling for Italy after you have been there.

WHEN TO GO

I think the best time to go is Spring and Fall. Specifically in May/June and September/October. The weather is typically pleasant, it is less crowded, and the prices can be lower. Off season offers colder weather but if you like to avoid the crowds then this is the time for you. Try to stay away in July and particularly August. They can both get very hot and August has the added disadvantage of all of the country going on vacation which means some restaurants and shops are closed. Here are some weather averages for the big three cities:
