Italy in summer means long days, warm sea, excellent food and the kind of evenings that are difficult to replicate anywhere else. Whether you’re after a fortnight on the beach in Sardinia, a week split between Naples and the Amalfi Coast, or a family trip to Puglia with the kids – the summer portfolio covers it all.
Hotiday has properties across every major Italian summer destination: the islands, the southern coast, the Tuscan shoreline and the Amalfi peninsula. Small, well-chosen stays in the places that actually deliver in July and August.

Why choose Italy for your summer holiday?
Italy works in summer for a simple reason: the variety is unmatched. Sardinia has some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean – the Costa Smeralda and Baja Sardinia are genuinely Caribbean in colour and quality, and Hotiday Room Collection – Baja Sardinia is one of our most requested summer properties. Puglia offers white sandy beaches, baroque cities and a food culture that rivals anywhere in the country – Hotiday Gallipoli Lungomare and Hotiday Otranto Baia Resort are well placed for the best of the Salento coast. In Sicily, Hotiday Taormina Mare combines sea views with one of the most dramatic settings on the island, while Hotiday Cefalù Mazzaforno sits near one of the finest medieval towns and beaches in the south.
For those who prefer the Amalfi Coast, Hotiday Positano Sea View and Hotiday Room Collection – Sorrento give you the full cliffside experience with easy access to Capri, Pompeii and Naples. On the Tuscan coast, Hotiday Marina di Bibbona and Hotiday Lodge Viareggio are the best bases for a quieter, more understated beach holiday with the Tuscan hills always in reach.

How to make the most of your Italy summer holiday
Book early. This is the single most important piece of advice for an Italy summer holiday, and it applies more here than almost anywhere else in Europe. The best properties in Sardinia, the Amalfi Coast and Taormina fill up months in advance – in some cases by March for July and August arrivals. If your dates are fixed by school holidays, securing accommodation first and arranging flights and transport afterwards is the right order of priorities.
Think about what you actually want from the trip. A summer in Italy is not one thing. Southern Italy – Puglia, Campania, Sicily – rewards those who want sea, history and food in roughly equal measure. Sardinia is for those who want the sea above everything else and are willing to accept that the rest of the island requires a car to explore. The Tuscan coast and the Italian Lakes suit families and couples who want beauty and calm without the intensity of the south in peak season. Knowing which of these describes your summer makes every other decision easier.
