The graphics are so bright and cheery in this delightful Match 3 game. It offers a good variety of beautiful, relaxing games, in addition. The match 3 board is colorful with lovely tiles that are easy to see and the game isn't cluttered with a lot of exploding things and power-ups to keep track of.

I have only bought one other Match-3 based game since joining BF, and I ended up not enjoying that one because it would waggle and mimic swapping tiles if I didn't keep moving, seemed to ramp up the activity level, and had a lot of things to remember.

I have only bought one other Match-3 based game since joining BF, and I ended up not enjoying that one because it would waggle and mimic swapping tiles if I didn't keep moving, seemed to ramp up the activity level, and had a lot of things to remember.

Normally, I stick to adventure and HOP games, but have always hoped to find a game that would give me all the HOPs and puzzles minus all the running around, interaction with characters, and complex storylines for a change of pace. This one checks all the boxes for me.

While not an overly long game, it is a pleasant way to spend some time without feeling hurried or nagged. In style, it is reminiscent of the Big City Vacation games...a bit cartoonish, bright, cheerful colors, no characters moving around. The storyline is simple and straightforward, and you get little factoids about the locations, souvenirs and herbs you collect. It has nice music, but I wish the occasional central character's voice could be muted. This isn't a strictly Match-3 game either; there are HOPs, puzzles, and little challenges mixed in, which I enjoyed to break up the need to strictly focus on game tiles. I played in easy mode and moved along at a comfortable pace. I also like that it doesn't try and suggest which tiles could be swapped if you sit without doing anything...I like to figure out my own strategy, thank you very much!

This game is fine for everyone. Try the demo and see if it is a fit for you! Show less

I recommend this game!

I enjoyed this just as much as the Japan version, the graphics etc are good, there is variety in the method of matching, fogs, things to collect, powerups, tasks. & mini games. The music, explosions & sound effects are all rather gentle/soothing - you could of course turn the music down if it gets a bit monotonous, although it does change periodically - what more could I want!

I recommend this game!

This is the second of this series,the first being Springtime in Japan. This game has more to offer than the first one. I enjoy the different mini games this one has to offer. Some levels are a bit tricky but over all not that bad. If you liked spring in Japan this one is much better

I recommend this game!

I wish this game had lasted longer--10 chapters/cities to visit instead of 4. The VO is on the slow side, unnecessarily so. The storyline is beyond corny. The music is terrible (think elevator), but grew on me at the end.
Besides all those flaws, I loved the format of the game and hope the devs can improve on the start of a promising series.

Besides all those flaws, I loved the format of the game and hope the devs can improve on the start of a promising series.
You get a mix of match 3 (the only M3 game I have played in which the levels got EASIER at the end than at beginning, maybe my skills improved dramatically), jigsaw puzzles, collectible souvenirs in a suitcase, a shelf of spices, fruit salad hidden match-2, hidden object junk pile scenes, and concocting various Italian dishes. The artwork is beautiful, and like any good vacation, I wish it didn't have to end. Show less

I enjoyed this as much as the others in the series. This one is a little longer than the other three, consisting of 25 levels, instead of the normal 24, in four chapters. You will visit Florence, Rome, Naples and Sicily.
