February can be quite cold, but it also brings us the first taste of spring, with the first warm sunny days and delicate flowers. It is also the month of Valentine’s Day and Carnival.
Tuscany in January
31 Jan 2012
January is usually one of the coldest months of the year, when sunny days alternate with snowfalls. It sees the end of the Christmas Holidays and the beginning of Carnival with its sweets and parades. It is a good month if you want to travel on a shoe-string.
Tuscany in December

December can be either mild or quite cold. It is however one of our favorite months in Tuscany because it’s a festive month, with the seasonal holidays, the markets and the unusual views after a snowfall!
Tuscany in November
21 Oct 2011
