But why should you book a last-minute villa in Tuscany?
One of the best things about a summer vacation in Tuscany, especially for foodies, is the vast number of sagre or food festivals that you can attend. Almost every town has its own local speciality and an annual food festival that celebrates that. Usually not massive affairs but, rather, small local events with good food at even better prices, music, and festivities and excitement, it is a chance to get a really authentic taste of Tuscany...
For those dreaming of the true elegance of a Tuscan escape and impossibly picturesque postcard-perfect scenery all around, Villa Il Colto is an ideal location. This newly listed vacation rental in Tuscany is perched on a hill that was once home to a rich patrician abode in the time of the Ancient Romans and continues to play host to a stunning countryside getaway to this day. The current iteration of this Arcadian gem, due to its hilltop location, is thought to have been a look out tower for a nearby castle before being transformed into a family villa that was once owned by the famous Medici family. So, not only is this beauty positioned among the most magical Tuscan surroundings but it is also steeped in local history and tradition.
