What to see

Major sites such as Rome, Venice, Florence and Pompei are all synonymous with the history and romance of Italy. But for a memorable tour in your hire motorhome, why not try one of these suggestions. In spring or autumn take a tour round the romantic Italian lakes in Lombardy. Lake Garda is the biggest, with Lake Como and Lake Maggiore also well known. But for a quieter experience head to Lago D'Idro and Lago di Ledro in neighbouring Trentino.

For the quintessential Italy take a vineyard crawl around Tuscany. Chianti is one of Italy’s best-loved wine regions with hillsides dotted with cypress trees and historic castles. Look out for bottles with a black cockerel, the symbol of Chianti Classico, considered the best. Or visit Italy's national park for a 'wild' vacation. The Parco Nazionale d’Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise is a rich and beautiful wilderness in the south of the country encompassing mountains, rivers, lakes and forests, as well as brown bears and Apennine wolves!

When is the best time to visit?

Motorhome hire in Italy is generally best from April to June and mid-September to October—temperatures are usually comfortable, rural colours are richer, and the crowds aren't too intense. From July through early September the country's holiday spots teem with visitors. But if you do go in summer head for cities such as Florence and Rome which are generally quieter in August.
