Best Time to Visit
Half of the year it is warm while the other half feels cold over at Monte Santa Maria Tiberina. It is most recommended to visit the town during the middle of the year, from months of June to August when it is warmest and best for outdoor activities. But if you or someone joining your trip is a big foodie, consider going to town from September onwards when the locals celebrate various food festivals such as the Cake Festival. Just take note that there are more tourists during this time around and Monte Santa Maria Tiberina ITL hotels are costly.
