Perfect Fall Holiday Destinations In Italy

Italy is always a wonderful place to take a vacation and during Autumn, it can be even more enjoyable as things are cheaper, quieter, less busy and still just as incredibly beautiful. If you have yet to plan your holiday for the year and are looking for the perfect spot, why not consider making the most of Italy during one of the most beautiful seasons on the peninsula? Take advantage of our seasonal deals and save by booking a villa in Italy for Autumn now.

Cities

During the summer months, Italy can be incredibly busy and full of people, all clamouring to see her host of iconic and impossibly famous tourist attractions. The queues, combined with the hot weather, can be a little overwhelming for some but, come Fall, you will find less intense crowds and more pleasant conditions. Find a villa near town in Venice and come when the canals smell less fragrant, the tour groups are less numerous and the streets and canals are quieter and more romantic. If you are looking for a vacation rental in Rome, you will quickly learn that it is always busy but a lot calmer in the Fall. Lines for the Colosseum will always be at least an hour long but in cooler weather, they are easier to handle, and you'll find the same for other attractions like the Sistine Chapel and the Pantheon. A villa with internet in Florence during Autumn, meanwhile, is ideal as locals, waiters and shopkeepers will have far more patience, you'll spend far less time trying to get into the Uffizi and the Duomo (even less so if you book online ahead of time) and more time enjoying them, and the temperature will be ideal for wandering and exploring every beautiful nook and cranny.

Lakes

Italy’s “lake district” includes Lake Como, Lake Maggiore, and Lake Garda and it is popular among Italians in the Fall but a little less of a consideration for international tourists. However, it's time to catch on! The weather cools, the traffic dissipates, the surrounding mountains are snow-capped and picturesque, and the facilities are freer. Said less intense weather is great for enjoying all the activities that can be had in the area: water sports, hiking along the many stunning trails, going on ferry rides, and exploring villages and local gardens. Temperatures remain between 15 up and 21 degrees Celsius and the water temperature of the Lake Garda in Autumn is around 19 degrees. Additionally, as the landscape transforms into a canvas filled with burned oranges and reds and golden hues, the lakes reflect it all and paint one of the most stunning of sights you will ever see.

Mountains

Autumn in Italy is also a great time to consider holidaying in mountainous areas. It is the perfect time to go hiking, enjoying those same glorious hues and, if there is no early snow, you can even hike up to a height of 3,000m. The Alps and famous peaks such as Monte Bianco and the Matterhorn will be far more peaceful and amenable at this time of year. Once you're tired from hiking and exploring, you can return home to one of our incredible vacation rentals, put your feet up, enjoy a hot drink or a local glass of wine, and take in the wonderful views in these incredible mountain destinations in Italy!
