Planning a fall getaway in a vacation rental in Rome? It’s a great time to see the city! Not only is it even prettier when the leaves turn to red and golden hues but the cooler temperatures make it easier to cover even more ground and get comfortably around the Eternal City to tick key attractions off your bucket list!


If you happen to be in the city for the first Sunday of October (or the first Sunday of any month), October the 5th 2025, you might also want to try and take advantage of Domenica al Museo to make your budget stretch even further. This initiative invites the public into state museums and cultural sites all around Italy for free!

Plenty of people head to a vacation rental in the Aosta Valley in the winter months to ski but it is also a wonder to explore throughout the other seasons on foot.

However, now is the time to visit if you want to see one of the region’s most charming attractions and one of the most magical botanical gardens in the world: the Chanousia Alpine Botanical Garden
