One of the most frequently asked questions we receive is

‘When is the best time to travel to Italy?’

Great question! We feel so fortunate that Italy is made up of 20 regions – each of which has its own character, traditions and reasons to visit. This also means that there is always a good reason to visit Italy, 12 months of the year.

Our favorite time to discover any of these 20 regions is what we call ‘Slow Season’ – when you can truly enjoy Italy at its best.
‘Slow Season’ is when there are fewer visitors, the pace in general (as the name indicates) is slower, the locals are out and about in the piazzas, bars and restaurants’ truly enjoying La Dolce Vita. It is when you can discover authentic Italy, surrounded by Italians going about their daily life.

All of the people you meet will have more time to dedicate to you, thus enhancing your experience. We do not believe that our guests travel across the world to find what they can at home, but to discover the authenticity of the destination.
The one big challenge you are faced with, being spoilt for choice is… Where should I go in Slow Season?
