It is not easy to get quality accommodation in Italy on just last minute bookings. You might strike pot luck but is it worth the risk? If you wish to be in the historical center- the “Centro Storico”. one needs to book early as you are in competition with the rest of the world. Remember Italy is only one hour flight from Spain, France, Germany, England so every weekend you have commuters from these countries – a lot of people! There are also a lot of Chinese Bus Tour groups travelling to Italy this year.
