Florence is a truly incredible city that is hard to fully imagine unless you get a chance to wander around its stunning historic centre for yourself. Full of astounding architectural gems, glittering churches, world-class museums, lovely flagship stores, ancient palaces, historic cafes, excellent restaurants, grand town squares, and dazzling statuary and fountains: it is a feast for the eyes with something to see no matter where you turn. The list of attractions in the city, therefore, is truly staggering and endless and those who book a villa in Florence might find it hard to know where to start. 

Carnevale is most associated with the colourful and extravagant celebrations that take place in Venice each year but if you were thinking about booking a villa in Tuscany early next year, you will be happy to know that there are lots of great carnival events taking place all throughout the region. 

From cosy farmhouses with big old roaring fires, to apartments in the centre of some of the region’s most beautiful cities, to spacious and relaxing modern villas, to historic palaces with endless character, we have an unbelievable array of villas that would make for ideal winter getaways this year. Whether you want to escape and book a last-minute villa in Tuscany for the Holidays, you don’t have other plans for the season, you’re looking to celebrate New Year’s Eve in style, or you want to enjoy a ski break, we have perfect options for all this and more...

Considering spending Christmas in one of our amazing villas in Tuscany this year? Well, then you might need to be introduced to a very important character and figure in Italy during the festive period, particularly if you have any children in your party.

Befana is a witch who holds a special place in the hearts of Italian children during the Christmas season because she is a kind and benevolent figure and many queue up to see her as they would Santa Claus.
