Customer Reviews

Best Travel Guide!!!

This guide was the best travel guide that I have ever purchased. It was insightful, well written and very well used on our trip. The recomendations were excellent. Buy this book -- You will not be disappointed!!! On future travel's I will be looking for other guides from Cadogan!

THese are real writers

This guidebook is not only erudite and extremely well written, but it is also a quirky and opinionated look at one of the strangest places in Europe, Sicily. We took this book and used it so much that I cannot imagine making the trip without it. The talent of these writers, in my opinion as a writer, is better than that of any other travel writers I know, indeed better than many journalists. The result is a funny and absolutely first-rate guide, far better than the usual generic things out there. Get it. You won't be disappointed!

Best written travel guide I've seen.

More perceptive sense of place than any of the standard guidebook series, with witty histories one wants to read. Less discussion of precautions than student or Lonely, Rough guides, needed for completeness. I recognize those places I've been, and they've found each favorite spot I had to dig to locate. They describe how to stay with locals on remote islands where other books can only suggest you bring a tent. Beautifully printed hip-pocket paperback, complete with an (unattributed) "Italian oldstyle" typeface confirming these are the most cleanly attractive and readable typefaces ever designed.
