Spring is a perfect time for a city break to tide you over until perhaps a longer vacation in Tuscany over the summer. We have a selection of incredible city break destinations and short stay vacation rentals in Tuscany to choose from, allowing you to get a taste of freedom, a pause from the daily concerns of life, and an experience of something new.
A city break at this time of the year truly is an ideal treat after long and sometimes gloomy winter days. And, while we think that you could spend lifetimes discovering all that Florence has to offer, if you want to plan a city break this spring then Florence is a perfect destination. Come and stay for a few days in one of our charming holiday rentals in Florence and dip your toe in the endless list of things to see and do in the city while also enjoying the particular wonders on offer during the season.
Spring in Florence means smaller tourist crowds, shorter queues for famous attractions, and more time spent freely enjoying yourself. Of course, if you book a villa in Florence at any time of the year, there will be other visitors to this beloved city but coming out of the busy summer season ensures that things are a little less hectic. Don’t expect to have anywhere to yourself but do know that you will save some time that you can then enjoy during your city break in Tuscany instead.
Accordingly, accommodation and flights are often less expensive at this time of the year, outside the high season, so your trip is likely going to cost less than if you wait for the summer to get a little taste of Florence over the course of a few days.
For many, one of the great charms of spring in Florence is the weather. As you go further into the season, days will get dryer, warmer, and sunnier but they also largely remain just cool enough and mild enough to allow for thorough exploration of the city. If you’re trying to really make the most of your time on holiday in Florence, darting all over the place and fitting in as many attractions as you can, then you want to do so in less intense weather. Spring and autumn, therefore, offer more ideal conditions for a shorter stay.
Of course, spring, in particular, also means a blooming beautiful experience of the city – the historic gardens of old palaces, the parks, leafy squares, and streets are all transformed as the city begins to blossom. From pretty cherry blossom trees setting a gentle rain of pastel petals across cobbled roads to the unforgettable purple canopy of wisteria framing views of the city from the Bardini Gardens, Florence is perhaps at its loveliest at this time of the year. For photographers in the group or those who simply like to walk around and really soak up the atmosphere and looks of a place, this is a wonderful time to admire Florence’s visual appeal at its prettiest.
So book your villa in Florence for the spring today and come delve into all that the birthplace of the Renaissance can offer a visitor who has even just a few days in the city while enjoying the excellent conditions on offer at this time of the year.
