When to rent a villa in Lombardy

Lombardy's Mediterranean climate means warm summers and mild winters, making it an ideal destination for a villa holiday throughout the year. The peak tourist season is from June to September, with July being the warmest month, perfect for swimming, water sports and outdoor activities on Lake Como, Maggiore and Garda. If you're looking for a more relaxed atmosphere and lower prices, consider visiting in spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October), when the temperatures are pleasant and the scenery is particularly beautiful.

If you're interested in experiencing Lombardy's famous events and festivals, plan your villa holiday around the Festa dell'Assunta in August, the Sagra del Pesce in September, or the Festa di San Giovanni in June. For a more peaceful experience, visit during the shoulder season (April-May or September-October) when the weather is still mild and the crowds are smaller. Winter months (December to February) are perfect for those seeking a romantic getaway, with many villas offering cozy fireplace settings and snow-covered landscapes. Whatever time of year you choose, be sure to pack accordingly!
