The best months of the year for visiting Italy are April, May, June, September, and October. During these months, you’ll experience pleasant temperatures, rich colors throughout the Italian countryside, and smaller crowds than you’ll find if you travel during busier months (except around Easter).From July through early September, the country is teeming with visitors, and the crowds are typically at their highest, as well as the temperatures. Around the major holidays — Easter and Christmas — crowds will be intense, and hotel prices will be high. Other than during holidays, you’ll typically see the highest hotel prices in major cities like Rome and Florence during late-spring heading into summer
