How do I find night-trains from Venice to Brindisi?

Question

We have a group of 12 people going from Venice to Brindisi. We are thinking of booking a night-train instead of a hotel that night. What's the best place to book the train from the U.S.? Should I book first class and then make an additional reservation for a bed? Any advice is appreciated. We'll have three children, 10, 12 and 14. All others will be older teens and adults.

Answer 1

Try to find information at the Italian train information website:
http://www.trenitalia.com/en/index.html

In addition to Sleepers, first class, there are often couchettes in the European trains, second class, four or six bunk-beds to a compartment.
Maybe you can book some of those.

If your local travel agent does trains in Europe, that might be worth the trouble, otherwise the Italian train site should work.

Added:
With a group of 12 best not leave it to the last day, someone traveling alone can risk waiting till the day of travel, but you would never get the group in compartments together if in at all if you wait to the last day.
If you have a contact in Italy to get the reservations booked for you he/she can go to the station to book.
