We had a wonderful time visiting Italy. There is so much to take in; my 17 year old son appreciated it as much as I did. Culture, food, fun, history, relaxation, breathtaking scenery - Italy has something for everyone.
My son, who was 17 last August, and I spent about $6500 total for all 17 days, but$2000 of that was airfare. The hotels all gave breakfast; we had lunch on the go, and ate a good dinner each night.
The weather in August was fine - in the mid 80's during the day. The only exception was the day we spent in Pompeii - that was brutally hot. Venice was actually cool - I needed a jacket in the evening. The only problem in August is that these places really do empty out - so many places are closed or empty because everyone is on vacation.
I hope you enjoy your trip-
