Italy

Best time to be there

Coastal areas and the islands are great year round, although July and August can be very hot. The arts and opera seasons are generally at their peak outside these months. August is very much a shut down month as Italians take their annual break.

family holidays in Italy

Please find below a selection of our favourite properties in Italy that we believe are perfect for families. For more information about Italy and the full collection of properties we recommend click here.

Of all the countries in the world, Italy is perhaps the most magical of all. This narrow boot of crinkled land, extending gracefully into the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea, has seen the birth of empires, cradled the growth of civilisations and shaped the destinies of continents.

Luxury holidays in Italy with Abercrombie & Kent offer uniquely privileged glimpses of a real Italy, driven by people, landscapes and cuisine.
