Tour Casole D’Elsa Town, A Spectacular Tuscan Hotspot!

Come and visit the perfect example of an authentic small Tuscan town, Casole d’Elsa which has earned the prestigious Orange Flag Award for being a fantastic tourist attraction and an environment of relatively undisturbed beauty. Visitors have a wealth of beautiful villas with guest reviews and other holiday rental accommodation available to them in the Casole d’Elsa area where they can relax and enjoy the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.

While entering the town for a day of exciting exploration, tourists will see the some of the remaining walls and two watch towers surrounding it that were designed by the famous military architect, Francesco di Giorgio in the 15th century.

Holidays are made for doing things you have never tried before and for doing the things that you love but normally do not have the time or energy to pursue in your daily life. From surfing to hiking to wine-tasting, there are all sorts of pursuits that can be enjoyed at your leisure while on holidays, without worrying about having to get back to chores or work and without having to consider any potential costs incurred in the way that you might normally have to factor into your plans. For many, one great example of an activity that they may have long loved but never have quite enough time for or easy access to if they live in bigger towns and cities and an activity that others may be curious about but never actually got around to trying out is horseback riding! Particularly enjoyable if you are exploring new landscapes, horseback riding is especially wonderful for those who have found a vacation rental in Tuscany as the stunning, rolling hills and pastoral settings of the Tuscan countryside make for the perfect place to befriend a new equine pal and plod along together through the prettiest of surroundings.

Spend a glorious vacation in Tuscany during the month of October where there are some lovely festivals and fairs to visit during the trip.

The fair of St. Luke in Impruneta is among one of the oldest livestock fairs in Europe and attracts hundreds of farmers and visitors alike. It takes place on the week around the 18th October. Learn about the cultural traditions and customs of the area and have fun browsing around the many stalls set up here during the fair event.

There is no shortage of incredible and picturesque villages and towns in Tuscany but one of the most charming is Radicondoli in the Province of Siena. Located about 60km southwest of Florence and about 25km southwest of Siena. This pretty, millennia-old walled town is perched on a hilltop with panoramic views over the rolling hills of the surrounding Tuscan countryside.

With cobblestone streets, a close-knit community, a delicious locally-sourced local cuisine and sustainable lifestyle, it is home to less than a thousand people and is an idyllic little spot, a world away from tourist attractions and crowds.

This is an authentic and picturesque place that is terribly photogenic and a perfect little enclave to escape to on holidays. Just find a vacation rental in Radicondoli and come discover its charms for yourself.

If you’re holidaying in Tuscany, it’s highly recommended to take a few days to explore the wealth of historic, artistic and environmental treasures of the Val di Merse area of Tuscany. A day trip of the towns of Radicondoli, Sovicille and Murlo would be an excellent start to this trail of discovery! Related articles describe another thrilling day trip to embark on and a general description of the main towns and attractions of Val di Merse. Tourists wishing to stay in Val di Merse for a few days have plenty of holiday villas and other exclusive accommodation to choose from, where they can enjoy a peaceful scenic stay.

Start off an exciting day of touring with a trip to the Orange Flag awarded town of Radicondoli! It’s a magnificent walled town on a hill surrounded by forestry which is one of the finest examples of authentic Tuscan living. The people here are very welcoming of tourists and enjoy showing off their artisan crafts and delicious food specialties. Visit the revered Collegiata dei Santi Simone e Giuda which houses splendid artworks by Pietro di Domenico and Alessandro Casolani. Visitors can also enjoy walks around the old town where they can admire many tower houses and ancient town houses that were built in typical Sienese style architecture.

Unique Souvenirs And A Stunning Museum In Colle Di Val D'Elsa

Located in the Province of Siena,Colle di Val d’Elsa is a pretty medieval town that is not far from the historic via Francigena and was, therefore, a pit-stop for travellers and pilgrims for centuries. Like many cities in Tuscany, it was once a centre of artistic and artisanal production but, unlike most of its neighbours, remains that way to this day. It continues to be the Italian capital of crystal and, as such, has been nicknamed the “Bohemia of Italy.” In fact, Colle di Val d’Elsa accounts for 95% of all Italian crystal glass production and 14% of the global production of crystal, which is an incredible feat.

Due to this scale and the economic importance of the craft in the town, it remains central to life for locals, with the first Sunday of each month playing host to a crystal market in town and open-air demonstrations of glass-making (from around 3pm) in the historical centre of the city on Via della Misericordia. In addition, there is also a rather special museum dedicated to the craft, the Museum of Crystal of Colle di Val d'Elsa, which puts these incredible objects on display. If you have found a holiday rental in Siena and are spending time exploring the province, set aside some time to get a little bit off the beaten tourist path and come enjoy the peace and beauty of this amazing town and its rich cultural history. You might even pick up a piece of crystal as a special and lovely souvenir of your time in this beautiful part of the world.
