Planning a 12 day vacation in Tuscany and Greece (Crete) this September. Any recommendations on hotels & specific areas to stay? Preferably Marriott family, but will consider others.

I would do an airBnB in Tuscany. You can stay at a villa with a winery and the scenery is incredible

Thanks!

I’ve never been there but I’d look at local hotels. Makes the experience so much better. Hubby and I did that when we went to London, Paris and Rome and it was great

Stayed a week at the Blue Palace Hotel in Crete - it is SPG so your Marriott points should be transferable. We had a two story room with a private pool. Absolutely incredible!!!

Stayed in Iraklio when we were in Crete but would highly highly recommend Chania instead - took a day to drive there and was an amazing and friendly city. There is an awesome horseback tour guy near Iraklio though, that was a fun day trip

If you take the train up to Venice there’s a Marriott family hotel that is superb! They rolled out the red carpet when they saw my platinum status. It was seriously legit!

I stayed at Salcheto winery on my honeymoon and it was awesome. Best part of our trip. Great view of Montepulciano. I'd recommend having a driver so you can enjoy yourself while visiting wineries. I really liked Tuscany as it was no where near as crowded (in early June) as Florence/Venice were. That said, I quite liked Venice too as I am generally into Nautical stuff. Every meal I are in Italy was delicious where the only screen we did was a quick check of trip advisor.

This is a ton of great info. I appreciate the help

I'm a relatively junior data engineer (2yoe), the only other engineer (senior) that trained me left about a 6 months ago and I negotiated a nice raise for the extra responsibilities.

My performance reviews have been stellar, but my manager is starting to look to hire a senior to help me deliver projects as we do lack capacity right now.

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.
