The pretty hilltop town of Sassetta is a cluster of charming brick and colourful buildings surrounded by the lush greenery of chestnut forests in the province of Livorno. With winding little streets and amazing views over the stunning scenery of Tuscany, it is a picturesque little spot but actually also has plenty to offer visitors.

While there is a lovely church full of artworks in the town and an impressive 16th century castle to discover, you won’t find quite the list of museums and typical tourist attractions that some Tuscan towns can offer. Instead, the town boasts naturally-occurring thermal waters that have therapeutic and relaxing properties, ideal for unwinding during your vacation in Tuscany. And those chestnut trees and fertile lands all around mean that this is an area that is especially beautiful and full of delicious things to taste during the harvest season.
If you were thinking about planning a getaway in Tuscany next spring as something to look forward to after the winter and in 2024, and if you happen to be a bit of a wine-lover, then you should consider our amazing villas in the Orcia Valley. Not only are these properties set within one of the most quintessentially Tuscan and picturesque parts of the region but they are located in an area with plenty of incredible wineries nearby.

For avid cycling enthusiasts contemplating a Tuscan getaway, mark your calendars for a truly exceptional experience this fall – L'Eroica. Autumn is already the ideal time to come to Tuscany in order to enjoy outdoor pursuits as the landscape of famous rolling green hills of the region is even lovelier when dressed in fall colours – making for especially scenic surroundings to admire on your adventures – and the milder weather after the hot summer is more conducive to enjoying outdoor pursuits comfortably.
L’Eroica, meanwhile, takes place on the first Sunday of October each year in the enchanting province of Siena and is an annual non-competitive cycling event that celebrates vintage cycling culture. Participants immerse themselves in the nostalgia of the past by riding vintage bicycles, adorned in accessories and clothing from pre-1987. Combining the thrill of cycling with a vintage flair amidst the captivating Tuscan landscapes, L'Eroica is a distinct and captivating event. And, certainly, cycling fans who book a vacation rental in Siena at the beginning of October won’t want to miss it!
As the summer begins to wind down, some are thinking ahead to a fall getaway in Tuscany. In fact, some have likely been eagerly awaiting the season for their vacation in Tuscany. For many reasons, an autumn break might just be the best option for you!
For one, if you are the type of person who prefers to avoid crowds, the further into the season that you get, the more that other tourists will grow sparser. This will mean fewer queues, scenery that is less dotted by other travellers, more time and space to yourself, and generally being able to have the beauty of Tuscany more to yourself.
