SPRINGTIME IN ITALY April,May &June are the perefect months to visit. There are fewer tourists so sightseeing is a pleasure.The weather is warm and pleasant, days are long and the scent of jasmine and roses fragrance the air.

SUMMERTIME IN ITALY July & August are the most vibrant months when even the sleepiest village comes alive. Italians generally head for the sea at this time of year. August 15 is a National Holiday.

AUTUMN IN ITALY Autumn is a tranquil season and the ideal time to discover towns and the countryside, mellow with tones of russet and ochre with fields of ripened grapes ready to be harvested. Autumn sun-seekers need to head south of Rome to be assured of warm weather.

WINTERTIME IN ITALY Winter is usually crisp, mild, bright and can be a delightfully relaxing time to explore

It depends on the location of your chosen holiday rental. Some properties are within easy reach of the airport and walking distance to local amenities and therefore a car isn’t necessary. Other properties however are often in rural locations which cannot be reached by public transport. We can advise you on popular car hire companies in Italy but we cannot make the booking for you

Please check the description for your individual property. Generally we consider walking distance to towns and restaurants to be around 1 Kilometer, unless otherwise stated.

FROM THE UK. There are many flights to Italy Please check www.skyscanner.net for details of routes from your local airport.

INTERNATIONALLY, please check with your Travel Agent.

DRIVING TO ITALY . More and more people are choosing to drive to Italy. Taking your own car adds flexibility to your holiday.
