Just in case. *The swimming pool at the hotel won’t be open in March so it may not be necessary to bring swim wear.*We do recommend to take a medium sized suitcase. REMEMBER we are only going away for 4 days.*Money wise, last year many of us only spent about £50 - £100 for souvenirs' and lunch this was only for 3 days in Paris. Please do not take loads of money out with you in the streets of Italy.
