Cozy Up to Italy Charming Towns and Winter Retreats Unlike some destinations that hibernate in the colder months, there are many Italian cities that remain lively and inviting all winter long. Charming locales like Verona, Naples, Perugia, and Palermo offer an intimate atmosphere with their cobblestone streets, cozy hotel properties, and year-round activities. Immerse in the Italian culture by taking a cooking class in Verona, making fresh risotto and rich sauces from local chefs. Or head south to Perugia and hunt for truffles, the prized fungi that grow near the roots of oak trees. After a day spent outdoors, unwind by sipping a glass of wine while overlooking the sea in Palermo. Winter visitors get an authentic taste of Italian life, with travelers running into more locals than tourists. Italy shines in any season, but wintertime invites deeper connections in towns and cities beyond the popular locations. From north to south,the cold season reveals a more intimate side of Italy fewer travelers get to experience. Tired of hibernating in the winter?
