Planning a fall break in Tuscany? Want to enjoy the beautiful rolling green hills, forests, and endless valleys of the region as the leaves turn to orange and red and golden hues? Want to enjoy the bounty of the harvest season and eat well? Want to appreciate the immaculate cosy atmosphere of this time of the year in Tuscany? Of course you do! It sounds like a dream vacation to us. When you get there, the loveliness of your surroundings and the excellent food alone will be enough to perfectly unwind and enjoy an incredible getaway but if you’re looking for particular things to see and do in Tuscany at this time of the year, then here is our list of five great things to ensure an amazing autumnal vacation at one of our Tuscany villas. 

Have you left it late to book this year’s big summer vacation? Well, don’t worry if you have because, while summer is in full swing with only a few weeks left to go, we have been saying for the last few years that September is summer!

For the first couple of weeks, certainly, a villa in Tuscany in September comes with almost all of the benefits of a summer getaway while also having some added bonuses. Here’s why we believe September is just as good of an option as summer for a dream vacation in Tuscany:

Chianti is at its most breath-taking in September, as the vines grow heavy with grapes and the leaves turn to golden and russet hues. The rolling green hills and lush valleys are always a sight to behold, a distinctly lovely wonder that has made the landscape of Tuscany famous, and when the endless vineyards of the region are ready to be harvested this beauty is only more impressive and striking still. So, if you are a wine-lover who has always wanted to head out on adventures, sampling the incredible wines of Tuscany and exploring her gorgeous landscape and pretty towns, then we think you should book a escape in Chianti this September!

Love the cinema? Adore free events? Planning on enjoying a stay in one of our villas in Florence? Well, then you should definitely check out this year's edition of Apriti Cinema, which gives you the opportunity to attend outdoor screenings of interesting films in a unique outdoor location in the city – the courtyard of the world-famous Uffizi Gallery! If you’re already planning on seeing the masterpieces on canvas and paper and sculpted from stone within the gallery then why not also try and catch a cinematic gem as well? 

Some don’t care to travel in the summer because of the heat or the potential tourist crowds but one of the best reasons to persist and travel at this time of the year is the array of festivals, celebrations, and events that tend to take place during the summer months. Whether it’s because you’re in a country with longer days in the summer or because the sunny weather improves moods and makes people want to get out, do things, and party, this is generally the time of the year when there are endless things to see and do and exciting events abound. Particularly in Tuscany! Those who book a villa in Tuscany for the summer will find that there are all sorts of amazing events to experience from traditional celebrations and historic oddities to pop culture celebrations and modern thrills.

So, here are the events taking place in Tuscany for summer 2024!
