Rates checked in September 2026. Under its single-fee structure, Airbnb charges most hosts 15.5%; Airbnb says other hosts typically pay between 14% and 16%. Exceptions depend on country and account type. Booking.com sets the commission rate in each accommodation agreement, and visibility programmes may increase it. This worked example uses a possible range of 15% to 25%. If Booking.com facilitates payment, the applicable payment terms and transaction cost are contract-specific. Our 6.9% cost contribution is included in the displayed total and contributes towards Stripe payment fees and refunds. Nothing is added at checkout and nothing is deducted from the owner. Fee models can change, so please check each platform’s current terms. Sources: Airbnb Help Center and Booking.com General Delivery Terms.
One country. Many favorite places.
Popular places to stay in Italy
Italy packs an astonishing range of holiday-rental country into one boot-shaped peninsula. In the centre, Tuscany and Umbria offer stone farmhouses, vineyards and hill towns for slow, wine-focused trips near Florence and Siena. The south turns coastal and dramatic: the Amalfi Coast stacks pastel villages above the Tyrrhenian Sea, while Puglia trades trulli, whitewashed towns and long Adriatic and Ionian beaches. The islands, Sicily and Sardinia, mix Baroque cities, Greek ruins, volcanoes and some of the Mediterranean's clearest water. Up north, Lake Como and Lake Garda pair Alpine backdrops with elegant lakeside towns, and the Dolomites draw hikers in summer and skiers in winter. The Ligurian coast and the Cinque Terre add cliff-hugging fishing villages, and Rome, Florence and Venice anchor the classic city breaks. Late spring (May-June) and early autumn (September-October) bring warm days and thinner crowds; July and August are hottest and busiest. Trains link the major cities fast; a rental car helps in the countryside, islands and lakes. Cities and coasts suit couples; farmhouses, lakes and villas with pools suit families.

Holiday homes in Italy: FAQ
Book vacation apartments and holiday homes safely with BookNoFees ↗When is the best time to visit Italy?
For most regions, late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September to October) offer warm weather with fewer crowds than the July-August peak. Coasts and islands stay swimmable well into autumn, while the Dolomites have a summer hiking season and a winter ski season.
Do I need a car, or is the train enough?
High-speed and regional trains connect Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan, Naples and other cities quickly, so city-focused trips rarely need a car. For the Tuscan countryside, Puglia, Sicily, Sardinia and the lakes, a rental car gives you the most freedom, though the Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terre are often easier by boat, bus or train than by car.
Which regions are best for a family holiday versus a couple's trip?
Families tend to favour farmhouse villas with pools in Tuscany and Umbria, Lake Garda's shallower shores and Puglia's beaches. Couples often prefer the Amalfi Coast, the Cinque Terre, Lake Como and city breaks in Rome, Florence or Venice, where the appeal is scenery, food and walkable historic centres.
How does booking direct on BookNoFees work?
You can message the host before booking. For a booking request, Stripe first places a card hold for the full amount; the host has 48 hours to accept, and only then is the amount captured. Instant Book is charged immediately after Stripe confirms payment. Do not transfer the booking amount directly to the host. The displayed total already includes the 6.9% guest fee on the host price, covering payment processing, refund handling and payment risks.
Why is BookNoFees cheaper than the big platforms?
BookNoFees deducts no commission from the amount set by the host. The displayed total includes a 6.9% guest fee on the host price, covering payment processing, refund handling and payment risks. Nothing is added at checkout.
Can I contact the host before I book?
Yes. You can message the host through BookNoFees before booking to ask about the property, arrival and local details. If the booking is accepted, payment is completed securely through the BookNoFees checkout and Stripe.
