My ex and I travelled there a couple of years running, about 10 years ago.

We went in September and never had any problem finding accommodation or with crowds.

The whole area is absolutely delightful, with plenty to do and see. If you have a car it is a great area for touring - we even got to Verona, a beautiful town, famous for Romeo and Juliet and for the Roman amphitheatre in which they now stage operas.

If you've got the chance GO! I'm sure you won't regret it.
