Planning on getting away to Italy this summer? Dreaming of a break enjoying long meals and sipping limoncello by the sea in one of our gorgeous villas on the Amalfi Coast? Maybe a vacation rental in Apulia to discover her charming traditional towns like Ostuni, grand Baroque cities such as Lecce, and striking coastline? Perhaps you are thinking of a villa in Tuscany to dive into the food and culture and beyond-famous attractions like the Leaning Tower of Pisa? Or maybe you want to tackle the endless sights of the Eternal City and have your very own Roman Holiday with a holiday rental in Rome? Well, no matter what kind of holiday you are after or where your interests lie, if comfort is central to your concerns then you might want to consider one specific question: do you have a villa in Italy with air-conditioning?
For many, air-conditioning is indispensable to ensure their comfort and convenience and, if you are travelling during the summer months, many areas of Italy can get really, really hot. In fact, summers have become increasingly hot in recent years, so this is something you should really be prepared for, particularly if you are travelling with children or older friends or family members who might be more vulnerable to the heat.
While most houses in Italy are traditionally built with small and shuttered windows, thick walls, porches, tiled floors, and other features that help beat the heat, air-conditioning is not as common as it is in other parts of the world. More and more places have air-conditioning but it isn’t guaranteed and some properties are protected historic buildings that cannot install systems. Many others simply assume that the traditional building methods will be sufficient and, for plenty of guests, this will also be good enough.
However, if you are someone who will require air-conditioning then it is best to use our “air-conditioning” filter when using our advanced search feature or simply going to our page listing villas in Italy with air-conditioning exclusively. Property listings will then further elaborate on whether there is air-conditioning in every room or, if not, which rooms do have air-conditioning. It is not uncommon for bedrooms or a living room to be the only rooms with air-conditioning in a property.
Italians themselves traditionally holiday on the coast or in the mountains during August in order to leave the heat of the cities and towns while the tourists take over. If you are planning a summer break in Italy and will be in a hotter destination – such as an urban centre or somewhere in the south – then you may want to consider additional ways to beat the heat, like air-conditioning.
So, if you are someone who absolutely requires air-conditioning and would like it through much of the house, then you can always contact us and one of our seasoned villa experts will be able to help you find a villa in Italy with air-conditioning to suit your needs exactly. Don’t be afraid to reach out as our team has years of experience helping customers find the perfect vacation rental in Italy to suit all of their needs and requests.
