Revello in August
Good time to visit
August delivers peak summer heat and tourist saturation. While the weather is reliably sunny, you'll fight crowds at every turn and pay premium prices for everything.
Weather
August continues the hot, dry pattern with some of the year's highest temperatures. Late afternoons can be stifling in the old town's narrow streets. Evening thunderstorms occasionally break the heat, bringing welcome relief and cooler nights.

All Months
October through November is truffle season, when the town comes alive with hunters and their dogs working the oak forests at dawn. Restaurants serve special menus, and the annual truffle fair in late October draws food lovers from across northern Italy. Hotels book up fast, so reserve early.
April and May bring mild weather and fewer crowds. The abbey gardens bloom, hiking trails in the surrounding hills dry out, and restaurant terraces reopen. Daily highs reach 18-22°C, perfect for walking the medieval streets.
Summer gets warm — July averages 28°C — but the stone buildings stay cool, and evening breezes from the Alps make outdoor dining comfortable. This is when locals take their holidays, so some restaurants close for two weeks in August.
Winter can be harsh, with snow possible from December through February. Many restaurants reduce their hours, but the few that stay open serve hearty stews and aged wines by the fireplace. Hotel rates drop to their lowest.
