rate change

Hello, I am planning my first trip to Italy. I would like to know when the rates go up for the summer months in relation to hotels, and whatever else may cost more. I am planning to leave in June of '08 and stay for 2-3 weeks.

Thanks,Bruce

June is peak time. From experience rates tend to change in May...you cannot avoid it, June is prime. Whether you go at the beginning or end of the month you are paying peak season rates. Rates can go down in August is some parts of Italy, but that is because some attractions close for the Mid August Holiday and everyone it Italy is on Vacation. I got a great deal on a hotel in Milian because I was there for the first few days in August. Use Rick's book as your discount or stay at hotels that offer cash discounts...that is your best bet.
