Best Time to Visit Italy

From spring's awakening in Roman gardens to winter's snow-dusted alpine peaks, each season reveals different facets of Italy's magnificent character.

The essence of timing in Italy lies in understanding when morning mist lifts from Tuscan vineyards, when truffle season perfumes Umbrian forests, and when Venice's canals shimmer with golden light instead of tourist crowds. True luxury travel transcends weather predictions, embracing instead the pace of Italian life, with its harvest festivals, Easter processions, carnival celebrations, and quiet moments when locals reclaim their beloved piazzas.

Our destination specialists understand these subtle seasonal nuances, crafting journeys that align with Italy's natural and cultural routines for experiences that feel authentically It...

Italy 25th Anniversary Travel Review: Positano, Sorrento,...

This was possibly the best vacation we have ever taken. A fitting trip to mark our 25th anniversary, we will remember our days in Positano and Sorrento forever. Everything was perfect and the service and support were extraordinary.

Zicasso's travel specialist and the other people were always super-helpful and friendly. The hotels they chose for us in particular were exactly what we wanted. I can’t think of a single issue. Transport, transfers, etc., were perfect. The only bad part was that we had to return to normal life afterwards! We highly recommend our travel company to anyone! Grazie mille!

Italy Trip Review: Amalfi Coast, Herculaneum, Vatican, Capri,...

We had a fantastic time and Zicasso's tour operator did an excellent job organizing every detail of our trip. Drivers and guides were always punctual, and the itinerary was perfectly balanced—full days, without ever feeling rushed.

Some real highlights for us were Herculaneum, the Pantheon, the Vatican, and our unforgettable Capri boat tour. Our guide brought Pompeii's history to life in a way that made it feel like stepping back in time and the Naples street food tour was delicious and nostalgic—her pizza fritta instantly took me back to the calzones I grew up with in Niles, Ohio. Our driver was with us for several days and made every transfer feel effortless.

There was a small hiccup at the very end with a trip planner, but it was minor compared to the overall quality of the trip. The organization, communication, and attention to detail throughout made this a truly memorable experience and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with this tour agency again. We had a fantastic time and the tour company did an excellent job organizing every detail of our trip.

Italy Vacation Review: Positano, Boat Tour, History, 16-Day...

I want to give a huge shoutout to Zicasso's trip coordinator. She was our coordinator through WhatsApp. She was always available, provided quick solutions and documents whenever we needed them. Given a few airline delays, we needed to adapt our itinerary rapidly and she always came in clutch.The itinerary was put together very fast, as we approached this travel company six weeks before our desired travel dates. We had an amazing time and all the activities were tailored to our interests. We would highly recommend them for any Italy travel.

Italy Honeymoon Review: Venice, Amalfi Coast, Florence,...

Zicasso’s travel agent did an exceptional job planning our honeymoon. The experience was well thought out, properly paced, and was truly the trip of a lifetime. The travel agent was always accessible and ready to help. Her organization ensured we had access to helpful phone numbers and information, yet she was always available if we needed to reach out (which we really didn’t because the trip was so well planned). I highly recommend this tour operator!

Greece, Italy Vacation Review: Athens, Private Tour, 18-Night...

Zicasso’s travel consultant and his entire team from Zicasso's travel agency were truly spectacular. We spent a long time planning a very involved trip and had many discussions with the travel consultant about very specific needs, wants, and desires long before we stepped on a plane.

We went to Greece and Italy, and all of the hotels, transports, and adventures were as good or better than we imagined. As a family, we were hoping for a trip of a lifetime and that is exactly what we got. He went above and beyond each step of the way. He even joined us one evening in Athens and took us on a private tour of some of his favorite places there!

I cannot thank and recommend him and his team enough. It’s a bit of a gamble planning such an intricate and expensive trip long distance. It was a magical time and all of it was due to the professionalism of the travel consultant. We are forever grateful!
