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.
