I would add a day in Rome and deduct it from any of the other places
In Rome I stayed in hotel Marco Polo, lots of buses to Termini station and a
train connection just nearby for the airport .
Breakfast on the terrace, nice touch.
Keep in mind that hotel prices in Italy are very expensive, 80 euros a
double is cheap.
Venice is even worse.
Time seems reasonable, but it would be worth much more !
Not to miss, I won't rewrite all the good guides and there are certainly
more than 5 in each city !
What I will recommend is find a nice trattoria in the evening and for
dessert go to a gelateria artisanal and sample some of the umpteen icecream
and sorbet flavors which are simply the best in the world.
They are easy to finf as they are all over the place.
Careful with your belongings in touristy places, nothing dangerous but all
sort of petty thieves.
Specially in Rome metro (underground) when the trains are choke full.
Don't eat in touristy restaurants in Venice, they are generally not good,
find the smaller, local family oriented, they are succulent.
If you're not a great wine taster, just order the wine of the casa, it's
quite OK and cheaper.
In june you will sample what's left of the dolce vita and surely enjoy !
be aware that trip will make you miss 1000 great other places not so far
from each other, so get ready for the 51 th birthday.
