If you need a reason to visit Tuscany in spring, here it is: blooming fruit trees. From late February through May, the countryside slowly becomes a patchwork of soft pinks, creamy whites, and sweet floral scents.
Several cancellations have resulted in many vacancies at our vacation rental between Siena and the coast of the Maremma. and we hate to see it empty.
Is the changing climate changing tourism in Tuscany? Is it changing Tuscany itself?
Not many people choose to visit Tuscany in winter, but those who do are rewarded by its beauty and quiet at this time of the year!
Most people love Italy for its climate: the sunny days, the dry weather that allows people to take many day trips and enjoy the outdoors. I love the rain, the mists, the cool breeze, the grey skies. I love the weather that makes you feel comfortable indoors, curled up on your sofa with a good book and a cup of tea. A thunderstorm that leaves behind a cool, misty morning…
August is symbolic of summer. It is the month of Ferragosto, San Lorenzo, Palio dell’Assunta, and many village festivals.
If you love hot sunny days spent on the beach or driving through the fields of sunflowers in the sun drenched countryside, you should consider visiting Tuscany in July.
June is the first month of summer. The fields take on the typical golden color of the hot months, and poppies, lavender and yellow broom tinge the countryside. Bars and restaurants open their outdoor spaces and sagre and festivals animate villages and towns. Besides, June is definitely the month to be in Pisa.
May is my favorite month. The countryside is simply gorgeous and the weather is usually very pleasant: the perfect time of the year to explore rural Tuscany.
April is the first really spring-like month, with warm temperatures, long days and bright colors in the countryside.

It's about feeling at home in Tuscany.
A wonderful opportunity for the independent traveller seeking privacy and a pleasant atmosphere
