have the impression that half-term isn't a big deal in Italy: right, or
not?

I do not know the resort but I can comment on the date. Weekends are
not the problem. The Italiens celebrate Christmas at home then come
out to play as New Year approaches. New Year is the busiest day of
the year. With Christmas and New Year being Thursday I would expect
Christmas week to be very quiet and New Year week very busy.
