A Little help PLEASE!!!!!!!!

Well my friends I am pretty sure most of you know in just over 3 months my beautiful girl will finish high school and we are heading off to Europe to celebrate. I know I am biased but she is a truly amazing girl and her and I have been planning this in our heads since she was about 7 and she turns 17 this week... We haven't been overseas before (well my hubby has been to the US and NZ with work and I have been to Singapore but many, many moons ago) so it is a huge adventure. So I am hoping that all my well traveled blogging friends may share some of their wisdom especially if they have a favourite place to stay etc as looking for accommodation on the other side of the world a little intimidating....but at this stage this is our sort of itinerary.
There will be 5 of us traveling...
3 nights London
5 - 7 nights Paris
7 days driving around the French countryside
1 night Nice
1 night Verona
2 nights Venice
3 days car hire through Maggiore
3 nights Rome........
If anyone has any suggestions I would so appreciate it :)
