Hotels in Italy South, Italy

Southern Italy stretches from the Amalfi Coast to Sicily, famous for ancient Greek and Roman sites like Pompeii and the Valley of the Temples. The climate is Mediterranean with hot summers (85°F / 30°C) perfect for swimming off the Amalfi Coast's beaches, and mild winters (50°F / 10°C) ideal for exploring the ruins of Paestum without crowds. Distinctive areas include the dramatic cliffside villages of the Amalfi Coast for hiking the Path of the Gods, and Sicily's Mount Etna for volcano tours-both offering affordable guesthouses in shoulder seasons.
