3 of my friends and I are trying to plan an all-girls vacation to Italy (probably next summer). Since none of us have been, we don't really know where to start. We're in our 30's, 2 of us are married, 2 single. We will probably go for a week. We'd like to stay somewhere nice, maybe take a cooking class one afternoon, and just relax and party a little! We are looking for suggestions of where to visit, where to stay, where/what to eat, what not to miss, etc. What cities/towns are "must sees"? Which ones do we want to skip? This will probably be our only chance to go and we don't want to miss anything if we can help it! Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions you can give!!

if you want somewhere 'relaxing', avoid rome.GREAT history, but unfortunately, every other tourist in history seems to be all be there at the same time.in addition, there's the ceaseless traffic, ambulances, police cars, honking, pollution, rubbish, homeless etc. rome is exhausting.
