Italy in July is not a good idea
Venice was wonderful and the accommodations were conveniently near the train station. Florence was great and the pop up apartment was nice but not close to restaurants or shopping. Rome was so so. The B&B was not convenient to restaurants or shopping and the cab fares were high. The Vatican was amazing. I would not recommend this trip in July. The temperature was 97-100 degrees and very uncomfortable. Our flight from Rome to Ireland was late and we missed our connecting flight. I could not check-in on line which also caused delays.
