Italian spring: the best time to discover Italy

Spring is one of the best times to visit Italy. The weather is mild, the crowds are thin, and the countryside is at its most beautiful.

Italy’s spring calendar also brings several national public holidays (April 25th, May 1st and June 2nd), making it the ideal season to plan a short break and explore the country at a slower, more authentic pace.

We’ve picked three destinations that are at their absolute best this time of year.

Tuscany - Rolling hills, fine wine and villages without the crowds

April and May are the perfect time to explore Tuscany without the rush and the crowds.
Fields of green wheat, poppies painting the white gravel roads of the Val d'Orcia, the soft curves of the Sienese hills: a landscape that looks like a painting.

Stop in Montalcino for a glass of Brunello, wander the cobbled streets of Pienza, let yourself be surprised by the open-air thermal pools of Saturnia.
The real Tuscany is best enjoyed this way: slowly, off-season.

Piedmont - Langhe and Monferrato in full bloom

In spring, the hills of the Langhe come alive with lush green vineyards just waking up from winter.
It's the perfect moment for a slow weekend among wine cellars, medieval villages and outstanding Italian cuisine: truffles, tajarin pasta, Barolo and Nebbiolo to be savoured with a panoramic view.

A spring weekend among these hills is an experience that stays with you: Asti, Alba, Canelli, Serralunga d’Alba, each town has a story to tell, and tells it beautifully to those who take the time to listen.

Liguria - Cinque Terre and the Riviera at their spring best

In April and May, before the summer crowds arrive, Liguria is at its very best.
The hiking trails of the Cinque Terre are walkable and wonderfully uncrowded, the sea is already inviting, and the narrow lanes of Genoa and Camogli are filled with the scent of focaccia and fresh basil.

Italy’s spring long weekends, April 25th, May 1st and June 2nd, are all great occasions for a few days on the Italian Riviera, before the summer chaos arrives.
The coast welcomes you on a truly human scale.
