A rental car in Italy really doesn’t cost a lot of money. I rented a car several times, and each time I had very cheap rates. I never paid more than €30 per day (with insurance already included!), but often you can even rent a car for less than €10 per day. And how on earth can you resist not …

Renting a car in Italy is generally not very expensive. Naples is much cheaper than the rest of the country, and so is the cost of a rental car. For a week of cruising around in a small car (with air conditioning, of course!) You pay between €60 and €100. That is indeed very cheap, because this means you actually …
Gioliti is located very close to the Italian parliament. And this is undoubtedly one of the best gelaterias of Rome. The ice cream shop is visible from afar with its large, elegant letters and by the queues that often stand outside. The inside of this ‘ice cream restaurant’ is beautiful. Very classic, but nevertheless magnificent. Besides ice cream you …
