SEASON MATTERS
Around the lakes prices can fluctuate considerably depending on the season, with Easter, summer and
the Christmas/New Year period being the typical peak tourist times. Indeed, many lakeside hotels only
open from Easter to October, going into hibernation once the colder weather sets in. In Verona the op-
era season runs from June to September and puts pressure on prices and availability.
Milan is a case of its own, with price variations linked to the trade-fair and events calendar - the
bigger the fair, the higher the price and the greater the degree of difficulty in locating a room. During
the Salone Internazionale del Mobile (April) prices can increase by as much as 200%, with hotel
rooms evaporating in a 100km radius of the city. August, on the other hand, is low season for Milan as
everyone escapes to the lakes for their annual holidays.
