Italy on a Budget

Italy in early summer is a dream. Hot, sultry, fruit and veg bursting at their seams, and cheap accommodation easy to come by since the school kids are not yet out and families are not yet swarming all over holiday lands.

The temperature is going to be around five degrees more than in Britain, so a warm, sunny holiday is just about guaranteed, and even if thunderstorms should destroy the sun-bathing time, they will usually blow over within a day.

Although the euro is currently strong against the pound, Italy still offers good value for money, and in areas off the tourist trails the rural or seaside towns provide really good, cheap food and accommodation. The trick while in the country is to eat local food and drink local wine (or beer, if you have to!) These regional specialities are seriously cheap and are also excellent quality, since the locals take pride in their produce and always offer visitors the very best of the local produce.

Before the schools break up it is possible to rent self-catering accommodation for a really good price, and even bed and breakfasts or small, family-run hotels are affordable. With screaming children out of the way, coastal areas such as Calabria are a snip, and beautiful inland regions such as Tuscany and Umbria can be visited for much less than in the height of summer.

Getting there doesn’t have to break the bank, either. Low cost flights to most airports in Italy are now available from nearly every major airport in Britain, from Aberdeen down to Gatwick. Budget airlines such as Easy Jet and Ryan Air fly regularly to the popular resort towns, and, since so many Brits now go to holiday homes around Europe, they also offer flights to more out-of-the-way airports.

Italy on a budget is easy, cheap, and oh so cultural!
