There are lots of great reasons to book a villa in Italy during the spring and we have sung the praises of a holiday in Italy during the spring many times before. From the better availability of our best properties, to the lower costs that can often be associated with travelling during the off-season, to the smaller tourist crowds in popular destinations and attractions, to the milder weather that can make outdoor pursuits and general exploration more pleasant, a spring getaway in Italy has a lot to recommend it. However, there are also some lesser-known or less obvious things about travelling in Italy in the spring that we enjoy so, if you’re still uncertain and considering it, here are some other excellent incentives to book that spring break in Italy today…

Planning a getaway this spring but not sure of where to go? How about a vacation rental in Emilia Romagna?

Not only is Emilia Romagna a stunning green landscape that comes alive in the spring but it is also a land of agricultural plenty and incredible local products. Those, therefore, who come and spend a vacation here can enjoy outdoor pursuits, pleasant strolls, exploring pretty towns, picturesque surroundings, and eating incredibly well. 

And, if you want a taste of the hanami experience in Italy and to feast your eyes on an astounding sight, then you should head to the exceptionally pretty town of Vignola for the Festa dei Ciliegi in Fiore. The best place to see cherry blossoms in Italy, this stunning town and its special festival are a must-see!

Polignano a Mare is one of the most impossibly picturesque towns in Apulia and in Italy. Let us paint you a picture: white washed buildings perched right up to the edge of rugged cliffs, jewel-toned water sharply contrasting below, endless pretty and winding little cobbled streets, balconies overflowing with plants and flowers, a charming little bay nestled between two of those rugged cliffs right at the centre of town with a pebble beach, and elegant piazze with canopied cafés for sitting out and watching the world go by. A magical gem of a place, it is a wonderful spot in which to enjoy a day-trip if you have found a villa in Apulia and are exploring the area.

However, we would note that Polignano a Mare is an especially idyllic spot to visit if you are planning a spring getaway in Apulia. The region is lovely pretty much no matter when you visit but there is no doubt that those who prefer to avoid tourist crowds will find that the hot and exciting summer months, when all sorts of events taking place in the area and the weather draw holidayers to the seaside towns, are perhaps not the ideal time to plan a trip. Never fear, though, a vacation in Apulia in spring is wonderful for many reasons and Polignano a Mare, in particular, has lots to recommend it at this time of the year. Here are just five of the excellent reasons to come and find a holiday rental in Apulia and plan a day-trip to Polignano a Mare this spring...
