Thinking of booking a villa in Italy this October? Well, once you have found your perfect vacation rental in Italy with us, you are probably going to be looking ahead with excitement to your holiday and what you should see and do. There is never a shortage of wonderful activities to keep you occupied in Italy but at this time of the year, in particular, there are some amazing events, festivals, and celebrations that are taking place in addition to the endless list of museums, cathedrals and churches, architectural gems, famous eateries, natural wonders, and more to explore, see, and do. Here are our picks for the top events to attend on holiday in Italy for October 2024…

We have a wide range of villas in Italy, apartments in Italy, farmhouses in Italy, and more to choose from, with all sorts of unique selling points and incredible amenities, at various price points, and in different parts of the region. Before even looking at those factors, however, you might be wondering: “Should I rent a villa in Italy?”

To us, the answer is obvious: “Of course you should!” However, don’t just take it at our word. Take a look at the following questions and consider if a vacation rental in Italy is the right answer for your next vacation.

One of the best parts of adjusting to the Italian lifestyle on a nice, lazy, relaxing holiday in Italy, is adopting the dining practices of this famous foodie destination. From multiple courses with most meals, to dining over the course of hours and chatting late into the evening with pals, to wine with lunch – there are many elements that are not uncommon (though not necessarily daily for everyone all the time) practices and make for an ideal basis for a vacation full of rest and relaxation. Another of our favourite foodie traditions from Italy that we think everyone should adopt where possible? Going for an aperitivo before your meal, sitting out in a sunny piazza, catching up with your companions and people-watching, and enjoying a spritz and some snacks. Certainly, if you’ve been dashing about to see and do as much as you can on holiday in Florence or on vacation in Rome or in any other Italian destination, it’s the ideal way to unwind, rest your feet, and begin rehydrating before your big evening meal.

The question, then, is what spritz you should go for because, while the Aperol Spritz is the most famous option, there are other ways to go. Here are our favourite Italian tipples for a perfect aperitivo moment on vacation in Italy...

Where Is The Best Place In Italy To Rent A Villa?

This is a tricky question because there are so many good answers but there are also answers that will be specific to you and your needs and tastes! So, to help you find the right villa in Italy in the right destination, we have some important questions to pose.

One of those pretentious things that you hear people say but that is actually rather true is that certain foods are never as good as the version available on their home ground. While you may be able to find very tasty examples elsewhere, the expertise, experience, and innate understanding of locals means that eating the real deal can be a totally different experience. Foodies who love Italian food, in particular, will find that it is truly hard to compare to Italian food in Italy. So, if you have booked a villa in Italy or you are coming to explore and move about the country, these are the foods that we think you need to ensure that you try while you are in Italy – but don’t blame us if nothing else ever quite compares...
