Booking Tips
Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.
Book accommodation 2-3 months ahead for peak season (June-September) and during major events like Carnival (Venice February), Milan Fashion Week (February/September), and Jubilee Year 2025 in Rome
Accommodation in Venice is 30-50% more expensive than comparable quality in Rome or Florence — budget accordingly, or consider staying in Mestre on the mainland and commuting by train
Agriturismo (farmhouse accommodation) in Tuscany, Umbria, and Sicily offers outstanding value with breakfast, often pool, and authentic rural experience from €80-150/night
Tourist tax (tassa di soggiorno) of €2-7/person/night is collected in cash at checkout by all accommodation — not included in booking prices
Check Booking.com, Airbnb, and hotel direct rates — Italian hotels often have best rates on their own websites, especially for stays of 3+ nights with 'non-refundable' discounts
