re: Anyone ever been to Italy in winter months ?

Wife and I went in the winter for two weeks in 2019 right before COVID. We flew into Rome and went to Florence for 3 days with one night into Venice(water was so high). Went into Tuscany to a winery and had one of the best meals of our life.

Did Christmas in Rome and it was magnificent. Weather was awesome. Then took a train down to Pompeii then a van to Amalfi. We decided to stay in Praiano .

If there was anything we would do again it would probably not do Amalfi in the winter. It was the offseason and everything was shut down. We'd have to hike every day to find something open. However, we were so tired ripping and running through Italy it was a nice change of pace. The other sites because they were all still very crowded AF for that time of the year.
