Read moreThe best time to visit Italy is during the spring period from April to June or in autumn between September and October.
Visiting during these ‘shoulder’ periods lets you explore the country’s widely diverse regions with moderate temperatures and often fewer tourists than in peak summer season. Spring offers plenty of festivals across the country and the rustic Alpine regions begin to show off their vividly colourful wild flowers. Experience April’s Easter festivities in full swing and unique events such as medieval jousting tournaments. Autumn brings a haul of wonderful food festivals, and harvest time means you can savour freshly produced wine and truffles. During autumn time, soak up the glamour of major film festivals in Venice and Rome or visit the beaches of the south to make the most of the last of the warm weather.

Monthly weather and travel tips for Italy
January is Italy’s coldest month, so whichever part of the country you visit, be sure to layer up for the winter weather. In the north, the average temperature tends to stay between 4°C and 7°C, while the central and southern regions climb up to 14°C. The new year rolls in with more national holidays so expect many local businesses to be closed for a couple of days early in the month.
Christmas celebrations carry over into the new year, with Epiphany (known as La Befana) celebrations held on 6 January. Festivities vary between cities, with some of the best taking place in Venice and Urbania in the Marche region. January is a great time to ski in Italy, with many of the best resorts in the Alps and the Dolomites less crowded than in peak season. The Feast of Saint Anthony the Abbot takes place on 17 January in many towns in northern and central regions. Expect plenty of bonfires, dancing and toasts to the patron saint of butchers, domestic animals, basketmakers and gravediggers.

By February, temperatures begin to climb but it’s certainly still coat-worthy weather across the country. Ski season peaks in tandem with the school holidays so expect the slopes to be more crowded. Temperatures across the country range from lows of 0°C in the northern Alps region to 15°C in the typically sunnier south.
One celebration stands out above all the others in February, and that’s Carnevale. Although many towns hold these pre-Lenten celebrations, Venice’s offering is by far the most famous. The Floating City transforms into an open-air theatre, filled with elaborate masks, stylish cloaks and lavish carnival balls with dinner and entertainment. Other notable carnivals are held in Viareggio, Verona and Ivrea which holds a giant food fight known as The Battle of the Oranges. If you’d prefer not to play with your food, head to the Umbrian town of Norcia to sample some prized tartufo nero (black truffle).

The unpredictable weather in March means you’ll want to pack for rain or shine. Early March is usually cold and wet, but as spring starts to spread across most of the country, temperatures rise up to 16°C towards the end of the month. If you’re not planning on doing weather-dependent activities like scenic hikes or sunbathing, then this less-crowded off-peak period is perfect for a trip to Italy.
Depending on the liturgical calendar, Carnevale and Easter can often fall into March, so check the events schedule before you plan your trip. Other notable festivals include International Women’s Day on 8 March and the open monuments weekend when buildings usually closed to the public open their doors to everyone. The actual weekend varies each year so be sure to plan ahead if you want to attend. Elsewhere, runners head to Rome for the annual marathon while foodies flock to Florence for its three-day food fair held inside Stazione Leopolda.

Spring is in full swing and Easter week celebrations take centre stage across the country throughout April. The unpredictable weather patterns continue so make sure you pack some waterproof clothing or an umbrella at the very least to cope with those April showers. Milder temperatures make for more comfortable outdoor exploration, particularly in the flowering mountains of Calabria and Sicily which have an average temperature of around 18°C.
April brings a long haul of festivals, from Milan’s Salone Internazionale del Mobile showcasing eye-catching furniture to the start of Florence’s Maggio Musicale Fiorentino which fills the city with theatre and musical performances. Verona holds its annual Vinitaly wine and spirits exhibition, complete with tastings, workshops and book readings. 25 April administers a double dose of celebrations as the entire country celebrates Liberation Day and Venice holds a huge party in honour of St. Mark – the city’s patron saint.

Known as the month of roses, May ushers in the first signs of summer with warmer temperatures and blooming countryside scenery. Average highs tend to be between 18–21°C but you should pack a light jumper or coat for the cooler evenings.
1 May is a public holiday across the country so you might see some interesting festivals and parades, but expect many services such as shops and restaurants to be closed. Italy’s biggest bicycle race – the Giro d’Italia – starts in early May and goes on for most of the month as it passes through gruelling Alpine routes and urban city centres. This month also sees many cities like Rome and Florence hold their annual Museum Night when major galleries offer free entry, special events and later opening times. On the last weekend of the month, the Cantine Aperte festival opens doors to hundreds of wine cellars across the country. Taste wines from various regions and meet the producers to find out about everything from grape harvesting and distribution.

It’s officially summer in Italy, so pack your shades and shorts for warm weather and plenty of sunshine. The average temperature is around 21°C at the start of the month but highs of 30°C are a possibility as the month draws to a close.
Republic Day, held on 2 June, is a national holiday which brings parades and parties to all corners of the country. Rome tends to put on the biggest show with an aeronautical display from the Italian Air Force and free entry to city-run museums. Make the most of the good weather by wandering through the beautiful Tuscan countryside or relaxing on the sandy beaches of Sardinia or the Amalfi Coast. For something a bit different, check out the Giostra del Saracino – a medieval jousting tournament held on the third Saturday in June in the Tuscan town of Arezzo.

July is one of the hottest months of the year, with minimal rainfall and temperatures up to 31°C. School’s out for summer and families head for the mountains and sandy beaches of the south. Cities and villages put on their best show to pull in the crowds with festivals galore.
Despite the wonderful weather, exploring cities can get tiring due to the intense heat so be sure to pack plenty of lightweight clothing, sunscreen and drink lots of water. Music lovers won’t be short of options, with festivals such as Sicily’s Alkantara Fest and Umbria Jazz Festival both taking place in July. There’s also the Ravello Festival which offers a range of music performances in a beautiful setting along the Amalfi Coast. Not one to be upstaged, Rome puts on its performance-packed Estate Romana which features everything from live concerts and dance shows to late-night museum access.

There are two keys words to describe Italy in August – overpriced and overcrowded. Most of the locals go on holiday so many businesses such as shops and restaurants will be shut for the entire month. It’s best to avoid visiting in August if you’re flexible, but if not, there’s still plenty to see and do – just be ready to deal with soaring temperatures up to 32°C.
Summer festivals continue in Sicily, with an international fire-dancing festival in Palermo and Ypsigrock in Castelbuono hosting some renowned rock acts. On 15 August, the public holiday known as Ferragosto takes place, when Catholics celebrate the assumption of the Virgin Mary into Heaven. Most locals start their summer holidays at this time, so expect cities to empty out and beaches to fill up.

September is a perfect time to explore Italy as temperatures begin to fall and summer crowds begin to dwindle. The average high rounds out at around 27°C, but there is more chance of rain than in previous months so bring your brolly.
The glamorous Venice International Film Festival holds star-studded premieres on Lido Beach, usually from late August to early September but dates change every year. The Floating City also holds the historic Regata Storica di Venezia on the first Sunday of September, featuring teams of costumed gondoliers battling it out in a race along the Grand Canal. Shakespeare fans can join in the celebrations for Juliet’s Birthday on the first weekend of the month when hundreds of people parade through the streets of Verona dressed in period costumes. September also brings the beginning of the grape harvest, so if you’re in the mood for vino, head to Chianti for the annual wine expo or the Douja d'Or National Wine Show in Asti.

Autumn sweeps across Italy in October with milder temperatures around the low 20s. However, frequent rainfall and colder evenings mean you should still pack some extra layers. It’s a prime time to visit the beaches of the south which become less crowded but maintain the warmer weather.
Rome holds its annual film festival in the latter half of the month, when Hollywood stars descend on the historic capital to attend world premieres of almost 40 films. To discover some of Italy’s famous food scene, those with a sweet tooth should head to Perugia’s Eurochocolate event. As well as lots of chocolate, there’s also music, workshops and wine tastings. If you pass through the Piedmont town of Alba, you can experience Italy’s biggest truffle fair, held every Saturday and Sunday in October and November.

November is off-peak season for tourism in Italy, so it’s a good time soak up culture without the crowds – albeit with a wintery chill in the air. Temperatures dip as low as 4°C in the north, with the south remaining relatively warm with averages between 13–18°C. Layered clothing and waterproofs are a must, with lots of rainfall across the country.
The month kicks off with All Saints’ Day on 1 November – a national holiday offering the chance to attend services at historic churches like Saint Mark's Basilica in Venice and St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. Truffle season is in full swing, with town’s like Alba and Asti in Piedmont and the medieval Tuscan hill town of San Miniato hosting fairs devoted to the fancy fungi. November is a great month for opera fans who can catch performances at world-famous venues like La Fenice in Venice or La Scala in Milan.

In December, seasonal celebrations take place all over the country as preparations for Christmastime go into fifth gear. The wintery weather may be peaking but you can keep warm with a traditional cup of mulled wine if you're near the mountains, some thick hot chocolate or a satisfying cup of coffee. Pack your gloves, scarf, bobble hat and thick layers to deal with the frosty temperatures which can go as low as -4°C in the north. Alpine resorts like Cervinia and Livigno spring to life for the start of ski season, filled with plenty of snow-sure slopes.
On 8 December, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception marks the first public holiday of the month and often features parades and live music events. Christmas markets add a sprinkle of festive cheer to cities and villages across the country, with some of the most popular including Perugia Christmas Festival, Trento Christmas Market and the Weihnachtsmarkt in Merano. If you’re around for the New Year’s celebrations, you can expect to see plenty of fireworks in main squares and large outdoor concerts in cities like Rome, Milan and Rimini.

Weather wise, Italy is best visited from April to June and between September and October, when temperatures are mild. Hot and muggy August is best avoided no matter which part of the country you’re visiting. The consistently sunny south enjoys warm weather for much of the year, making it the place for scenic seaside and temperatures fit for t-shirts. Northern coastal regions like the Italian Riviera and southern spots such as Sardinia and the Amalfi Coast are best avoided during the summer months of July and August, when temperatures soar towards 30°C and beaches are crowded. If you want less crowds and warm weather, visit from September for the best of both worlds. If you favour snow over the sand, the ski season generally runs between late November and April.

Very close to the buzzing city of Venice (only minutes by Vaporetto) but away from all the noise and crowded streets. Perfect place to relax in the evening. Very nice restaurants, B&Bs and even a beach where you can sunbath and swim. We used to stay in Venice but now we always stay here.
Portici is a great place and the ideal base to explore other areas including Herculaneum, Naples, etc. It is pretty easy to go to Pompei and Sorrento by train (circumvesuviana)
The place is charming, near to a cafe, a grocery store and most importantly -- nature is right out your doorstep for you to enjoy and hike. If you visit during the winter - the place has a thermoregulation problem. Inquire about the fire place. It would be great if the hosts provided equipment and guidance on how to use it. That might solve the problems we had.
Loved Tirano. Would love to visit again. Tirano eco rooms Bernina Express were excellent accommodation. Clean, comfortable and very well appointed.
This is a very good place for those who want to stay in a comfortable room near the Venice Airport.
Treviso is under rated, there is a lot to see, and many good restaurants. It is also well connected to the airport, and outlying area.
Very nice city with excellent restaurants and bars. Several interesting things to see: museum of Hemingway, Poli Grappa factory and many more.
Overall great city to experience Very friendly and helpful people we met
would be good to have wine glasses and a bigger coffee maker. We arrived in the middle of night and could not find a easy way to walk there as easy as it was in the daylight next day. so we took a taxi. But all explanations about the apartment and picking up the keys were very good. Our stay was just to short for a proper review, only overnight.
Sulmona is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. When I told other people from Italy that I was going to visit Sulmona, they were very surprised. However, I think tourism to this place should be much higher! It is an extremely beautiful place. There are many places to visit. The views are beautiful. There is a lot of history and culture. It's really worth going!
Sempre será pouco visitar esta maravilha. Fui com neve e agora quero voltar sem. Recomendo a visita.
A very cozy mountain city, vibrant in the morning and soundless in the evening. Car is mandatory! You can take public transport too, but just take a car.
Small town, not much to see,very difficult to get around if you do not have a car, train station not very far. Very few restaurants/cafe/shops an open market once a week with mainly food.
2 ski resorts with ski lifts, 10 min and 20 min away. Verona 2 hours drive, very scenic area.
Prachtig dorpje, best wel rustig. vlakbij een toeristisch gebied.
Greqt base fir exploring chinque terre and liguria
A very peaceful city, where I was accommodated and could find everything I wanted.
We were visiting friends, not sure if there is a lot to do in Rovereto but you can drive around to Lago di Garda or Verona easily.
The Millenium - L'Irish Pub N1 in Italia was brilliant, great food and staff.
the hotel room was clean and quiet access to travel by bus at any time of the day
Small town with very friendly people. Some beautiful hikes to do around the area.
Rome was fantastic so much to do,easy to travel defo go again....oh and food was amazing
Tremezzo was a great location to use as a base to enjoy the more famous towns nearby. Staying here meant that we were out of the hustle and bustle when we came back to the hotel. It was possible to find free parking near the ferry stop. In this area, when the parking spot lines are white--the parking is free. When they are blue--one must pay and often has a time limit.
I think Lastra a Signa - the Agriturisimo at San Lorenzo was great for us and more like a 4.5 than a 3. We would highly recommend it for a full Tuscan experience, the stay, the food everything was great. Thank you Booking.Com for having this on you website. We really appreciate the choices you give us.
Beautiful place in the Dolomites. The ski slopes of Alta Badia are amazingly beautiful. The cable car to the top of the ski slopes was also very convenient.
Mycket bra! Vi hade rum med toalett och dusch en trappa ner vilket var helt ok. Underbar takterass!
This is really the most delightful of lakes In the the northern Tuscany area. It was on the Pilgram route Roma to Great Britain. Very popular local and Europe wide tourist destination. Very busy at weekends with visitors. With many walk and biking options. Visit to San Guilio Island a highlight.
I went through Ciampino to get to Malta, its a small airport and was great to get in and out of. DO NOT USE UBER IN OR OUT, THEY WILL DROP YOU INSTANTLY AND NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE AFTER YOU ORDER A RIDE.
A few levels above other locations around. And there is one special restaurant - Da ciro o'pirate
The host was fantastic, great communication before arrival, lovely breakfast even at the early hour we requested
Huge room with super comfortable bed. Large bathroom with great shower. Staff friendly & breakfast included.
Scala has stunning scenery and is away from the crowds. Great for those who enjoy walking and a more peaceful location. Lots of steps!
Lovely little hilltop town with fantastic view over the hills of the Barolo. Various dining options available in town and nearby.
tiny villages full of restaurant Very cozy and not crowded, extremely clean
Great central location to the amalfi coast and not as crowded
Verdello Home is a wonderful place to stay. Excellent new accommodation and gracious, caring lovely hosts. Situated near the Sea and a short distance to the village of Savoca which is charming, has beautiful vistas, and excellent restaurants.
One of our favorite quiet lake towns in Italy. Perfect location for remote work, hiking, climbing and visiting historic towns and villages
Beautiful views and wonderful place. Taxis very expensive!
Vanava is 15minutes from Sacile, a regional town with good restaurants and shopping
We absolutely love the Hotel - it had a great location, easy to park, clean, wonderful swimming pool and the breakfast and dinner were both superb.
Beautiful town, fantastic scenery, however if travelling by car during busy season, parking is difficult to find. Ensure you are in the town before 11, as the multistory car park in the middle of the town fills up with long queues to get in.
Bellissimo paesino a 15 minuti dall'aeroporto di Bari, vivissimo d'estate! Noi siamo arrivati un sabato sera, era pienissimo di persone, fantastico!!
Everything was wonderful. the hospitality, the personalized breakfast. recommendations for restaurants and attractions around and the wine tasting! The owners were friendly, kind and and extremely available. The facilities are very convenient, air conditioners in every room, the pool and the breakfast on the trace were great and the privet parking just makes it a great value for money, truly could not have asked for anything more
Amazing location. A bit rural, so you do need a car. The staff are really friendly and accommodating.
Great staff, great room and aircon and great location. Also a short walk away is there restaurant and the staff and management there were great the whole time!
close to airport for travelers, nice green rural streetscape, quiet, nice view to distant mountains
Excellent authentic place to stay. Near Venice and Treviso airport. Only the coffee have to be improved, in Italy this is a must!
Very walkable city. The streets within the walls have some vehicles but pedestrians predominate. The atmosphere is incredible; so friendly and happy.
Portofino was beautiful and lived up to expectations. However, it is tiny and the weather was not great which limits what there is to do. Two nights rather than three would have been enough. Also it really is expensive. Not a place to go if you are on a budget. My husband and son had brilliant food - particularly DaV Mere - but they love fish and seafood. Not great for vegetarians.
Very central to all towns of Tuscany. Perfect spot! Probably most beautiful sunsets we've ever seen right from the property as well. Very peaceful and quiet.
Porto Viro is a quite and beautiful place... People are so nice and friendly they will smile or greet you. Shop staff are great... The city is beautiful and the food are not that expensive...
Cogne is a beautiful town in a stunning alpine location. Free Bus service to local villages is a brilliant idea and was well used . Cogne has many good restaurants and several bars
Very nice village with steep access roads! Great views from everywhere and quickly accessible off the main road.
Cortemilia; Always friendly, it has more than I need. For me its a place to unwind in a way that others cant offer. Its busy but tranquil. The people are kind and helpful. You are in the middle of nature but not isolated from the world.
Catania is beautiful, packed with architecture and interesting buildings.
Chiusi della Verna is well placed for visiting the Franciscan sanctuary, and for heading out on walks in the hills and mountain.
Great, Nice, Beautiful town, place and people are friendly.. really n joy stayed in Corvara
We had a very relaxed stay at Villa Vea. The location, surrounded by olive groves and hills, was stunning. The view from our balcony in the morning was inspiring. Angela, our host, went out of her way to make sure our stay was perfect. She served delicious evening meals. We would love to visit again.
I stayed in a double room and it was perfect for sharing. Homely and everything we required. Others in the family loved their rooms / apartments also. Everyone was very happy. Sara and Christian were perfect hosts.
It is so relaxing, easy distance to Lake Majjiore, great restaurants and a lovely vibe. Great place to stay. A great place to stay, travel the region and simply soak up the atmosphere.
We came to an end of our holiday, and had an early flight out from Malpensa so we decided to stay at this hotel to avoid any rush to the airport in the morning. Much to our delight the food was of a extremely high standard and affordable, the beds were comfortable with comfortable pillows. Rooms were clean we had great water pressure so we were well refreshed before our long flight.
Quaint little town with cute shops, a very interesting Castle and great people and food. We had a great lunch at Locanda Ai Capitelli which is where we stayed. They have an amazing staff and a great breakfast. We took a tour of the Castle which was quite interesting. We also did some great shopping at their unique stores and visited the church.
lovely town of 30,000 people. the truffle festival was going on, something about hazelnuts, too and people came here just for the gourmet food and superior wine. we also enjoyed the surrounding Langhe valley which is a UNESCO Heritage Site because of its beautiful vistas.
Intriguing history. Fine ancient buildings, sensitively restored and adapted. Enjoyable grounds and walled garden, in an unusual location.
Good place to stay overnight and not to warry about dining out
A small town in a lovely spot, above Florence, with beautiful views, and a scenic walk to town from where we stayed. There are at least two especially good, reasonable restaurants -- one Indian and one Italian. There is bus service from the central square. We didn't explore the town or its sites because we were focusing on Florence.
Surrounded by stunning natural beauty, Carbonin offered us the perfect home so we could start explore the Italian Alps. Plenty of lakes nearby. Easy to get around: a 20 minutes drive from Cortina.
Isoletta incantevole che si gira a piedi in poche ore, collegata con un ponte all'isola di Mazzorbo. Dall'isola partono numerosi vaporetti per le altre isole della laguna e Venezia. Suggestivo soggiornare sull'isola per godere della calma della sera e della mattina, prima che arrivino i turisti.
There is nothing I don’t like about this town!! It has so much history and so many places to visit. There is great food , friendly people and a tranquility that cannot be beat!!! Highly recommend spending time here!
efficient reception, friendly and well oriented to client needs. I didnt eat in the restaurant, nor did I eat breakfast. nice room, comfortable and clean.
It’s a quaint town with tiny alleyways and laneways to explore. We were there in winter so didn’t go to the beach but it looks nice. Had a great gelato in the square. I’d recommend a few hours here. Pizzo was slightly better than some other towns but overall didn’t find Calabrian people very friendly towards us.
restaurant 13 Gobbi is a revelation -- local, friendly, delicious. The signature pecorino pasta is a mist-order treasure.
Beautiful scenery, lots of hiking (from low key to advanced), friendly locals, nice food and not so busy that you can't enjoy the place.
Great city, wonderful weather, great views, good restaurants, and great for walking holidays.
The review questionnaire covered everything but I need to make a correction : the property offers god WIFI. I wrongfully stated the opposite.
Magical place amazing local food great service beautiful city
Beautiful town, and pedestrian access is amazing. Cool shops. Close to ski resort- without the Apres vibe.
It is a spectacular town with magnificent surroundings
I appreciated that the detailled information provided online at www.himmelfahrt.it corresponds to reality and allowed us to prepare well.
Ottimo punto per visitare il lago Maggiore. Molto tranquilla, a pochi passi dalla Bellissima e famosa Rocca d'Angera (caveat: visitabile solamente certi periodi dell'anno visto che è ancora di proprietà della famiglia Borromeo). Si può attraversare il lago con il traghetto, e andare alla più turistica e affollata Arona (comunque vale la pena). Vicina anche a Santa Caterina del Sasso (bellissimo eremo). E si può attraversare a Laveno il Lago con la macchina.
As we stayed in winter, we didn't expect to find so many restaurants closed in the evening. Fortunately we found one opened 30 minutes away driving. Quiet small town, good to relax or trekking. After we explored the area other cities around were also interesting and some prettier. Dervio is good to stay and relax while visiting other cities around the lake Como.
Ideally situated for the airport. On arrival we walked (it's around 10 minutes), then took the shuttle bus for departure next morning as we had a very early flight. The room itself was of a very good standard. No hesitation in recommending.
