Many of our vacation rentals in Italy offer guests a perfect weekly stay in charming surroundings. However, if you really want to make the most of your time in the country and you are thinking about visiting a few areas in Italy over the course of a couple of weeks or more, or if you are planning a long weekend, then you might be interested in shorter stays in different rentals. Luckily, we do have many villas in Italy where a short stay is possible and we can certainly facilitate a tour of Italy with some perfect holiday rental options at each stop – but how should you plan such a trip?

If you are the kind of person who wishes that your four-legged friend could join in on those adventures, then why not consider our pet-friendly villas in Italy? These vacation rentals all allow guests to bring along a pet (or maybe two) upon request in advance of your holiday in Italy

As spring fully takes hold and we look ahead to summer and autumn, we enter the best time to plan a stay at one of our vacation rentals in Lake Garda. Summer sun means all sorts of outings, special events and festivals, water sports, excitement, and more but the months either side of the summer offer milder conditions that make really exploring the area on foot and by bike a more pleasant affair. It depends on what kind of holiday in Italy you want and when you can travel. However, no matter when you visit, you’ll find that the natural beauty and astounding attractions of this gorgeous part of the world are utterly breath-taking and incredibly numerous. Among these attractions, the Parco Giardino Sigurtà stands out as especially lovely and with something special to offer throughout spring, summer, and autumn.
