To try and save some money I am thinking about B&B in Rome and Florence
rather than hotels.

Any particular experience, good and bad, with B&Bs in Italy?

Thanks.

I have had good experiences with agriturismos (farms that
accommodate guests) all over Italy. I highly recommend them.

AVOID Dei Mori in Florence. It's open to everyone, though
gay-oriented, and there were people of all persuasions staying there.
It's a couple of doors from the American Express office, an excellent
location. But one of the owners (the Italian one) is a real jerk,
went out of his way to be petty and condescending. I could cite a
dozen instances. And during my visit it turned from "Bed & Breakfast"
to "Bed". They stopped serving breakfast, which was virtually nothing
to begin with, because they didn't want to comply with the city's
health requirements. (They did knock a couple of euros off the room
rate, however.)
