With endless, impossibly green rolling hills, fields of flowers, more pleasantly cool weather, smaller tourist crowds, and lower prices, Spring is an excellent time to visit Italy. Hit up any of the cities and you'll find things a little slower and calmer than in Summer or head to the most popular destinations and you'll find it easier to book your rental and activities. All of which is a real bonus and takes a lot of the stress out of travel.
However, instead of simply choosing a destination that is a little bit more accessible and easy during the Spring months than the Summer, why not head to a destination that is actually also at its best during Spring?
These are the places in Italy that are at their loveliest and most charming over the next few months...

1. Sicily
Sicily is rugged, has a long and rich history, boasts lots of excellent beaches and intriguing towns, and much more besides. For sun holidays, it is an ideal destination. However, for many, the Summer months in Sicily are a little too hot. However, from March to the beginning of Summer, you will find very pleasant temperatures with plenty of sun. This makes for the ideal time to explore what the island has to offer without melting in the process. Visit Sicily's beaches without the massive crowds to battle with for a spot, make the most of the lack of crowds and traffic to see as much of the island as possible, and enjoy the cooler air as you hike the incredible landscape or explore the attractive cities.
