I have been to Italy five times. Either April or October. I loved them both. The advantage of October is that it tends to be harvest time in Tuscany. Touring a vineyard that time of year is extra special. If you go that rount check out Tuscan Wine Tours (https://www.tuscan-wine-tours.com). I have done three tours with them (different friends/family members) and loved each one.Jeff
Some AirBnB offer a very deep discount for a monthly rental. I stayed at one in Lucca and it was wonderful. It was right in center of the city. PM me and I will try to find the name.
Cindy,You are in for the time of your life and October is a wonderful time to be in Italy. My one caution is to avoid the temptation to see everything in one trip. Sorrento is wonderul and Capri is a worthy trip. Consider visiting Anacapri and goint to the top of Mount Solaro. The view is one of the best in the world! Skip Naples on this trip. It is very busy and a bit overwhelming. Don't miss Rome. At least a few days there, so much to see. Post if you deside to got to Rome and I will recommend a few things to do. Then off to Florence; my favorite place in the world. From Florence you can do day trips to Milan (The Cathaderal), Pisa (The Tower) and Lucca (love the city, consider at least one night). I suggest you skip the car. The trains are wonderful and go to most of the places I would recommend.Enjoy!Jeff
