Hi Tweety,
no, I just went to their shop...I seem to be missing the fairs. Anyway, I'm actually not too impressed with their service..
I went to Italy for 2 weeks in Oct last year, spent about $8000 for 2 pple, including car rental, flights, accommodation, petrol, food etc. Ate mainly pizza for lunch and at restaurants for dinner. If you go during the off peak periods (end sep onwards), prices do drop quite a lot, esp for accommodation. I guess it all depends on the type of accommodation you are planning to stay in. We stayed mostly in B&Bs, but there were a couple of real gems, like this old 10th century self catering house we found in the middle of nowhere.
