Late April and May were beautiful in Italy. Good weather, flowers, and not as intense as July or August.
I would avoid August if possible, especially in very popular southern cities. Heat and crowds can make everything harder.
Early October was great in Portugal and Spain. Warm enough to enjoy being outside but not as crowded as peak summer.
