Carnival is an event celebrated all over the world that sees people let loose before going into Lent, in anticipation of Easter. These colourful, joyous and, often, wild, events are famous, particularly New Orleans' Mardi Gras, Rio's Carnival, and Venice's Carnevale. However, while Tuscany may not be as famous for this event, her iterations are many and wonderful. If you're looking for a party come next March (Shrove Tuesday is on the 5th of March in 2019), then why not find a luxury villa in Tuscany and check one or some of these local Carnevale festivals out?

Guest Reviews for Villa Poggio le Vignacce
The villa is big, clean and nice to share with many people. The kitchen is well equiped, as the fantastic swimming pool area! Unfortunately the equipement and the sprays weren't suffucient to avoid us to be annoyed by the italian mosquitos.
