Castel Sant'Angelo

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!

A beach in Calabria

For the more serious water babies and beach lovers, a villa in Calabria means a vacation spent exploring some of the most beautiful beaches in Italy and the world and a rugged coastline dotted by charming little villages, panoramic viewing spots, and all sorts of magical surprises.
