Best Time to Visit

Italy is such a vast country that is visited for many different reasons, it’s hard to give a single time period in which you definitely have to visit. If you’re after sun whilst you’re away, then the summer months are definitely favourable when you can expect temperatures of between 24°C and 32°C depending on exactly where in Italy you are visiting. If, however, you don’t mind cooler temperatures then Italy can be considered a year round resort; city breaks, in particular, are pleasant during the winter months.

Popular Resorts

The most popular areas for luxury holidays to Italy include the Lakes, Sicily, Turin, Milan, Sardinia, the Amalfi Coast, the Italian Riviera, Verona, Venice, Florence and Rome.

Cuisine

It’s not all pizza and pasta (well, nearly not all pizza and pasta). The Italians are also proud of the Mediterranean dishes they enjoy which includes lots of breads and oils as well as fresh fruit and vegetable dishes. Those with a sweet tooth will be in for a treat with gelato, tiramisu and panettone aplenty. 

History and Culture

Cities such as Rome, Venice and Florence are amongst the most history-rich cities on earth. Sites including the Colosseum, Leaning Tower of Pisa and Saint Mark’s Basilica give you just a flavour of what Italy has to offer.
