Climate

Italy is located in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea so therefore has much wider temperature ranges throughout the year. The climate in Tuscany is generally mild, the coast and valleys tend to have hotter summers than the hills or mountains. Coolest months are January and February, with January being a bit cooler.

How to get there?

Italy is easily accessible from all parts of the UK including London, Bristol, Manchester and Birmingham with low cost airlines flying frequently. From London, the flight duration is 2hr20mins and usually the cheapest city to fly into is Milan or Rome. From all airports, airport shuttle buses are organised to take travellers to the city centres, alternatively it is also easy to hire a car or book a taxi to get to your holiday rentals. Some of the Spanish apartments and holiday villas can be in more rural areas so we would advise that you hire a car. Even if public transport is available, having a car gives you the opportunity to explore the region at your own pace.

Food and restaurants in Italy

The historic cities, snow-caped mountains and pristine coastlines aren't the only reason we recommend you rent an apartment in Italy, as they also have some of the world's best pizzas, pastas and wines. Booking holiday houses in Italy, means that every night you can find a delicious new Italian restaurant that serves typical Italian food in local areas and then wander on to find a gelato. Tuscany is famous for its salami, and Sicily for its iconic pasta dishes. From being in a city or countryside village, there will be a range of places to eat, so enjoy the laid-back ambience and traditional atmosphere. Staying at a holiday rental in Italy will give you the chance to make some flavoursome Italian food as all of the apartments are equipped with kitchens for self-catering.

Activities in Italy

Book a holiday rental and explore the many cultural and historical attractions around Italy. This country has a thriving and rich culture, so for any tourist it may be worth travelling around to multiple cities via train. Rome wasn't built in one day! Start in Rome and book a city apartment for two in this romantic place. Visiting the 2000-year-old Colosseum is an absolute must, it is a spectacular sight. Then toss a coin in the Trevi Fountain for good luck. Browse on Likibu for a bed and breakfast on air bnb or booking.com in Florence and Tuscany, the region of art and wine. A visit to the phenomenal Duomo and Uffizi gallery is worth its while, as well as snapping a picture of the beautiful Ponte Vecchio bridge. Vineyards lie everywhere around the Tuscan countryside, so why not book one of the idyllic rural farmhouses to rent. Finally, take some time to relax on a gondola or vaporetto (water bus) on the Venetian canals. A unique experience made all the difference by staying in a hotel room above the water. Get lost amid the 400 bridges and 150 canals and explore this mesmerising floating city.
