The 25 Most Beautiful Places in Germany... 
The landscapes of Germany are at once charming, bewitching, and staggeringly pretty: alpine peaks, mysterious forests, white Rococo churches, villages lined with timbered houses, and castles that seem almost too majestic to be real. From the mountains to the cities, and everywhere in between, here are some of the most beautiful sites in Germany.

Client Letters
 
"Just returned from Venice.  
 
I wanted to thank you Suzanne for your services.  
 
The hotel could not have been located any better. I was less than five minutes walk to San Marco and the whole entrance to Venice.
 
Awesome.   
 
The transfers via water taxi while yes expensive were convenient and a memorable highlight. Another WOW.  
 
Admittedly my preconceived thoughts about Venice were heavy on the overcrowded side. But with your services I was able to avoid the crowds and just enjoy myself.  
 
But I still managed to walk and see just about every other awesome ceiling or church around.  Thank you again."  
    

Sincerely, 
Bill M.
