Millions of tourist visit Italy each year, especially during the
peak season from June-Aug, including Italians who staycation during
the month of August. From the month of September onwards, the
country takes on a new picture with fewer tourists and the beaches,
lakes, restaurants and importantly the roads are far less
congested.
This is the perfect time to visit Italy with a far greater
choice of accommodation and much more reasonable pricing - you will
find that villa in Italy or Italian apartments for a fraction of
the price!
In terms of temperatures, the north of Italy and central
Italy will still offer good weather at the beginning and most of
September. During October, it's better to head south down
to Sicily, Amalfi
Coast
and Puglia.
Here's our round up of destinations for autumn sun
with a link to our accommodation in Italy:
Lake Garda
We love the lakes, especially magnificent Garda which enjoys a
true Mediterranean climate. This makes it perfect for an autumn
getaway. The lake and mountain views, wonderful restaurants, wide
choice of shops and activities, makes it a great holiday
destination.
There are plenty of fabulous lakeside promenades perfect for
strolling, on the lake itself you can take a boat between most of
the resorts or to one of the islands to look at the beautiful
villas or gardens. For the more energetic, you can rent bikes
easily and you are spoilt for choice in terms of watersports.
Villas in Lake Garda offer fantastic views of the lake and offer
terraces, which are perfect for soaking up that autumn sun.

Sardinia
Sardinia is the perfect place to visit in
September and early October. The island quietens down after the
August rush of visitors leaving beautiful large and quiet beaches
with endless soft and golden beaches and crystal blue sea. This
time of year really exposes its beauty and highlights its unspoilt
and rugged landscape.
The island offers a wide range of attractions, from quiet
coves and beaches to nature reserves and mountaintop ruins very
diverse considering its size. Inland, the countryside is rich with
agriculture and the landscape includes ravines, crags, valleys and
wooded hillsides. It's easy to find a luxury villa Sardinia for a
fraction of the price from mid-September onwards.

Liguria
Liguria
offers something for everyone and the sun on the Italian
Riviera often shines all year long. For temperatures in the mid
20's, September and early October is a great time to visit - it's
obviously cooler in the mornings and evenings and becomes a little
more unsettled but this adds even more drama to the beautiful
landscape.
This region offers one of the steepest and dramatic
coastlines in Italy and unlike some more rural destinations,
Liguria is lively and cosmopolitan all-year round. From Cinque
Terre accommodation to properties in Rapallo, there is a wide
choice of places to stay.

Amalfi
Coast
Amalfi Coast is one of the most inspiring
and surprising stretches of the Mediterranean coastline. No journey
here is dull; this is an imposing rock garden with breathtaking
cliffs and deep ravines with a coastal road offering exceptional
views. This part of Italy, benefits from a long golden autumn and
as you would expect is one of the most expensive destinations to
visit in Italy.
Visiting outside of peak season will bring lots of benefits
to the potential holidaymaker. Prices for a start are
significantly lower and can range from 25% to 50% less than high
season and you can normally cherry pick your choice of
self-catering villa or apartment with ease. From villas
in Sorrento and
Positano accommodation, there are plenty of quaint
and relaxing properties to choose from.

Sicily is the largest island in
the Mediterranean Sea is a delight to visit outside the scorching
