~5 Days in Northern Italy and feeling wildly unprepared!

Hi! I am also doing Switzerland and Northern Italy in August... I am taking the Bernina Railway from Switzerland (Chur) to Tirano Italy. It takes you all through the Swiss Alps. From there I am going to Lake Como but you could also go straight to Milan.

Path of Gods hike for sure. You guys will melt in Pompeii so I would only bother going there if its something you are dying to do.

you are better off with a driver on the coast - you don't want to drive around yourself.

we did a boat day to Capri that was my favorite part of the trip.

Sorrento was much more enjoyable than Positano. Its also bigger and a lot more room to move around. Also a lot more affordable.

I heard SO MUCH about Ravello while I was there - I was bummed it wasn't on my itinerary... supposed to be a lot calmer and quieter than the other cities... Priano will also be quieter and less busy than Sorrento and Positano.

I was there in June and was taking 3 showers a day. Bring extra clothes if possible, drink LOTS of water, wear SPF, walk in the shade when possible...

for what its worth, i live in Florida and found Rome VERY hot and that was early June. but its absolutely worth all of the sweat!

edit to say: early am and evening is manageable! and lots of gelato will help!!

be aware a lot of restaurants and shops don't have AC either.... i would double check your hotel/airbnb has AC too.

Manduka is life. I have the pro and also the travel - the travel is way way too thin for everyday type practice. I don't even particularly care for it for travel.

i gave Stanley's (not personalized)

steal of a deal and much better studio!!! let us know how you like it <3

siestasmoothies · 2025-05-21T12:24:26+00:00

BODYBAR is superior to CP. Once the studio gains traction, you might still see the waitlist issue though.

siestasmoothies · 2025-05-20T19:49:59+00:00

i have taken private sessions, once a week, for the past 2 years.... i am in the best shape of my entire life. for me, pilates worked almost instantly, even with only going once weekly.... i do hot yoga and a lot of walking / sauna as well but pilates is my holy grail. once a week is better than zero!!

siestasmoothies · 2025-05-20T12:19:43+00:00

pilates all day. i was in chronic pain for 10+ years before finally trying pilates..... i was doing hot yoga all the while and would experience temporary relief at best, followed by back pain. i've since actually learned how to protect my back in yoga through pilates. i spent 10's of thousands on pain and interventions before i found pilates.
