Usage Note

Villeggiatura describes a traditional Italian holiday spent in the countryside or at a resort, typically for an extended period — more leisurely than a short vacanza. The term carries a slightly old-fashioned, upper-class flavor. The plural villeggiature is regular.

Examples

"Trascorriamo la villeggiatura in montagna."
