[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Off season is best. You and she will not need to negotiate the crowds.

Whoever you land, stay there a day or two to let her get adjusted. Probably Rome.

Plan on taxis. She might be most comfortable in “American” hotels such as Marriott’s properties.

Stay in the center of the town/city so that even if she isn’t up to lots of walking, there will be nearby restaurants/cafes where she can enjoy the people watching and the architecture.

Even in the northern cities, outdoor cafes operate in the winter.

Rome: stay between the Pantheon and Spanish Steps. Take a taxi/tour of Vatican and Coliseum.

Florence: Stay between Mercato Centrale and the Duomo.

Venice: this is the hard one. Stay near Piazza San Marco? From the train station take a water taxi to the hotel. Don’t plan on visiting a lot of sites.

To do more or to go into the countryside, get a driver or a tour guide.

There aren’t really river tours in Italy. Cruise ships visit the coast and then the bus trips are inland. [/quote]

There’s a luxury river cruise that starts and ends in Venice. [/quote]
