Abruzzo is one of the most underrated regions during the summer months. It’s often seen as more of a winter destination, thanks to its mountains and well-known ski resorts popular across Europe. In reality, a holiday in Abruzzo works perfectly well in summer too. The key is understanding the regional climate, so you can pick the periods that suit you best and avoid the less favourable ones.

Sicily remains one of Italy’s favourite summer destinations, thanks to its sweeping beaches, hilltop villages and dramatic scenery, but also because of its climate. Rising temperatures linked to climate change are reshaping Mediterranean summers, and each month now brings slightly different conditions.

Summer is approaching, and the sunny days are approaching. As usual, the heat is gripping all of Italy, but the best vacation weather can be found in certain regions.
