More Italy Hotels Available Online

Savvy travelers have long looked to venere.com, a hotel review and reservations website, to find accommodations on the beaten and not-so-beaten trails of Italy. With more than 26,000 hotel listings in Europe, it’s easy to find hotels from Piemonte to Puglia on the venere site. Now it may be even easier.

CNN reported yesterday that U.S.-based travel website Expedia will buy venere.com and begin adding approximately 1,000 hotels per month to its database. In other words, for Italy travelers, Expedia may just become a one-stop shop - airfare, hotel…and you’re done.

  1. Keith,

    Perhaps you’re right. But I think that a lot of travelers to Italy don’t even know about venere.com. Perhaps because of venere’s link-up through Expedia, less internet-savvy travelers will be able to find and book more Italy hotels than they would have previously. I guess we’ll see…

  2. I was dismayed to read that Venere.com had sold out to Expedia. I think that that will mean less competition for consumers.
