FAQs

Italy offers many diverse and unique pleasures to suit all ages, budgets and preferences. Once we understand your personal interests and requirements, we suggest places that you can visit and stay.

Italy is usually regarded as a sunny, mild weather country. However, the climate varies from very cold winters and cool summers in the North to milder weather as you travel further south. Rome has an average July and August temperature in the mid-20s (Celsius). The islands of Sicily and Sardinia have a more Mediterranean climate.

Our immediate response is ‘any time’. Italy offers a wide range of things to do and see throughout the year.  April to June is mostly sunny and the countryside bursts with spring flowers. In the mountains, the ski season starts with the first snow fall around November and you can enjoy a dip in the sea along the coast throughout the year. 

Italy also offers numerous local and national festivals, along with cultural events during the year.
