    Hoping to do Levante next year. When is the best time to walk? I would think early spring might be quite wet. I am thinking April or maybe halfway through September.

    Italy in September

    We are thinking of walking in Italy again this year. Last time we walked from Gubbio to Spoleto using Angela Serrachioli’s guide. This time we would like to follow the VF for 3 weeks. Can anyone suggest a section that would be through hilly, but not mountainous, countryside please?

    Accommodation in St Guilhem Le Desert

    Better to stay in Gite La Tour or with the Carmelites? Had contacted the Carmelites earlier and the reply was they were only taking previous bookings. So contacted La Tour. Had a reply from them, then another from the Carmelites saying yes it was ok. So, any recommendations for which is good?

    Accommodation in Arles for 2 nights

    We will have 2 nights in Arles. Just wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a good place to stay in the old city. I have looked at previous posts but wondered if there were people who have been there recently who have a recommendation.

    How busy is the Arles route at the moment?

    We will be walking the Arles route from early September. Just wondering how busy it is at present. I read on Facebook that it is wise to book ahead. We have booked the first night but that is all.

    Places not to miss

    Flights are booked as well as accommodation in Sevilla for April next year. After reading many posts on this forum, I realise there are variants along the way. I am wondering if there are any "must sees" and best routes to take along the VDLP. Also, any favourite places to stay. Thanks Sharon
