We will be in Italy the first two weeks in April...hoping for good weather, but not worried if it's cold or rainy. We're Florida folks so "cold" might not be the same for you. We are visiting the Italian Riviera, visiting the smaller towns plus Genoa, and Cinque Terre. We will be staying in Sestri Levante. Anyone else going at that time?

I'll be in Genoa for 3 days just before Easter week. I look forward to walking the Cinque Terre towns. Have a Great Trip111 Mike

We'll be in Bellagio & Bergamo over the first weekend in April.

As long as the weather is better than it is here in Scotland we'll be happy!

The first week of April my husband, two teens, and myself will see Rome and Florence, with Siena in between. Then the family will head home for work and school, my sister will join me, and the two of us are off to Cinque Terre (Manarola)for 2 or 3 nights, then down to the Amalfi Coast for 4 nights. We're also hoping for good weather because we'll be doing some hiking and biking.

We will leave on the 11th of April for the Riveriera, Cinque Terre, a taste of Tuscany, and a couple of days in Rome. (We have been to Rome before.) I can hardly get anything done besides read my travel books and this web site. Pat

Going in March to get the last of the off-season rates. Returning March 21.

The first week in March is normally 15-16 degrees in Rome (that is very low 60s for Americans).

To us Canadians, it seems balmy.

FOR CONTEXT: It was so "warm" here on the weekend that we decided to drive up to the cottage. Left the car on the highway and slogged in on foot, through the snow.

The lake was covered with evidence of ice-fishermen: half-ton pickups and SUVs parked out in the middle of a lake so deeply frozen that you can drive over it....

DH and I will be staying with friends at their home about an hour north of Rome for several days around the 14th of April. We have had snow at their house up in the hills near Orvieto in early April. But that is very unusual.

My husband, myself and our 2 children will be in Florence, Venice and Rome from April 1 to April 10. We're hoping for good weather, too, but bringing rain jackets and umbrellas, just in case! Have a great trip!

Hi Justine:
My husband and I will be making our first trip to Italy March 31 - April 12. We will be going to Venice, Florence (with daytrip to Siena/San Gimignano), Sorrento (with visits to Herculeanum/Pompeii) and ended trip in Rome for three nights. Hoping for warm weather but happy just be going. Have a wonderful trip!

Hi Justine;
We are going to Rome March 28 - April 8.
Taking day trips to Pitigliano, Orvieto, and possible Urbino.
I am now curious about simpsonc510 comment regarding snow in Orvieto...just a sprinkling of snow or blizzard-type snow?

We leave May 19th for Rome, Florence, C.T. & Venice. On our honeymoon. Can't wait!

My sister, brother-in-law, my daughter and I have a house rented April 16-23 in the Garfagna NW of Lucca. My daughter and I will take a couple of nights middle of the week to go to Siena and Montalcino to wallow in red wine! Can't wait

Couldn't help but respond - too excited! I am bringing 11 friends and family to Italy in April ( fair warning!)
