Horse riding holidays in Italy have always been popular with our clients making
Italy one of our top horse riding holiday destinations. Situated in the Mediterranean Sea, Italy is blessed with a temperate climate that is well suited to horse riding holidays.
Nevertheless, the weather varies considerably according to how far one is from the sea or the mountains. The winter is very cold in the Alps, cold and foggy in the Po Plain and the central
Apennines; mild and even warm on the Ligurian coast, the Neapolitan coast and in Sicilia.
The summer is hot and dry, but the temperature is mitigated on the coast by sea breezes and in the Apennines and
Alps it is pleasantly cool. In the mountain areas, winter is ideal for skiing, and summer for excersions, horse riding, hiking etc. Seaside resorts, with their excellent hotel facilities, have an intense tourist season in the summer, while the cities that are rich in art treasures are ideal in spring and autumn.
With a great climate and diverse countryside ranging from the coast to the mountains, horse riding holidays in Italy are, and will always be a firm favourite.
