Discover The Direct Flights And Book Your Villa In Tuscany

Have you been dreaming about a vacation in Tuscany? Well, now is a perfect time to plan a trip as many new direct flights to the region have been added!

Traditionally, many choosing to holiday in the area had to fly into Bologna but Pisa and Florence are actually the two major international airports within the region itself and might be more convenient arrival points depending on where you will be staying. Thankfully, however, there are increasingly more and more direct routes opening to these two regional airports so if you want to plan a trip, you’ll have more options available to you. Book your villa in Tuscany and you’ll be able to easily organise your arrival thanks to these new direct flights...

For a peaceful yet fascinating place to visit during your holiday to Tuscany, Castelfiorentino is perfect for the tourists that like to see the little Tuscan towns off the beaten track. Situated between the Arno River valley and the north face of Elsa valley, Castelfiorentino was once a military base because it was of equal distance from the main Renaissance cities of Pisa, Siena and Florence. It was originally built on the side of the famous Via Francigena pilgrim route to facilitate the many travellers who passed by and needed somewhere to eat and rest for the night.

Visitors have a fantastic range of exclusive villas in Castelfiorentino with excellent customer reviews. The town’s original name was Castelvecchio, meaning ‘old castle’ because it grew on the site of an ancient Roman castle known as Timignano. It was a huge fortress with doubled layer walls with five gates and a lookout tower. Some of its ruins can still be seen today by tourists. In 1149, the town’s name was changed to Castelfiorentino because of its close relations with the city of Florence.

Walk Castelfiorentino's Route Of Nativity Scenes Through The City

Italy is famous for her Nativity scenes, or presepi, and Tuscany, in particular, has quite a long and rich tradition of exhibiting some very impressive examples. Many different towns have presepi, sometimes with live animals and actors, sometimes on a large scale, sometimes innovative, sometimes historic and traditional, and sometimes as part of an exhibition of multiple examples. In fact, last year, we wrote a whole guide to the different presepe traditions in Tuscany. However, one town with one of the most beloved and famous of these traditions in recent years has to be Castelfiorentino. If you have found a luxury villa in Florence and love Christmas, this magical little Tuscan festive tradition might be your cup of tea.

During your next vacation to Tuscany why not spend a day or two in the glorious Empoli area in the lower Arno Valley of Florence? There are several charming towns and villages here that are of Roman origin which have plenty of things for tourists to see and do! If you wish to stay in the area for a few days, why not look at some superb vacation rentals with great reviews in Empoli town?

The rich fertile soil here has made Empoli into a successful agricultural area where many olive groves and vineyards thrive as well as many fields of healthy crops.

There is a huge range of nature trails and history attractions in the area as well as some fantastic towns to visit like Castelfiorentino, Montelupo, Montaione and Montespertoli.

Learn all about the long and fascinating tradition of truffle hunting in Tuscany on your next vacation here! This delicious relative of the mushroom is a delicacy all over the world and can be very expensive to buy. Visitors wishing to book a truffle hunting tour should stay in the charming town of San Miniato in Pisa province where there is a nearby area in which they grow.

There are professional truffle hunters here who travel through the wooded area of San Miniato with their sniffer dogs in search of the elusive white truffle! The white truffle is the most expensive in the world because of its rarity and delicious pungent flavour. It is pale cream or light brown in colour with white marbling.

A truffle is the fruiting body of an underground fungus. Book a place on a fun truffle hunting trail with an expert guide who will lead through the woods where they grow close to the roots of trees.

They come out of the ground, half hidden under the dirt and could be easily missed without learning tips on how to find them by your expert guide!

There are different trail packages to choose from that include a delicious lunch made using truffles or a tasting along with some nice wine. Visit their website for more information on this exciting opportunity to engage in one of Tuscany’s oldest and most enjoyable traditions!

If you wish to treat your partner to a whole new level of romance, book a lavish meal for you both in what is considered to be the smallest and most romantic restaurant in Tuscany, and possibly even the world! Designed to host only two people at any one time, this cosy little venue is called ‘Peperino’ and is an ideal place to spend a lovely evening together.

It’s situated in San Minato town in the province of Pisa where there is a fantastic range of luxury villas and other holiday rentals in the area for couples to book an enjoyable stay for a few days and bask in an area of glorious scenery.
