Perfect Spring Holiday Destinations In Tuscany
If you're not the type that likes high temperatures, or you're looking to save a bit of money, or you simply can't travel during the summer, then a holiday in Tuscany this Spring is the perfect fit for you!
Tuscany is magic throughout the year but it is especially lovely in Spring: the famous cultural gems, museums, galleries and cities are less busy and calmer; the beautiful countryside comes alive with the lovely blooms that line the region's so-called flower roads; and the weather is perfect for hiking and exploring both natural and artistic gems.
Cities
Spring is a great time to visit Tuscany's cities. Florence is always busy as one of the most-visited destinations in Italy but crowds are smaller if you choose to travel in Spring. Lines for attractions are shorter in Spring, the less balmy temperatures will make dashing around the city to see things easier and locals will have more time to chat and make suggestions. There are plenty of reasons to find a holiday villa in Florence during the low season!
An off-season vacation rental in Siena is also a good idea. Though it is famous for the Palio the summer, in the Spring it still has plenty to offer from its charming UNESCO awarded medieval architecture to its ancient and truly remarkable botanical gardens, vibrant nightlife and delicious traditional cuisine. A vacation rental in Pisa, too, is a wonderful choice during the Spring as you'll gain quicker access to its famous Leaning Tower and other attractions and be able to wander the town at your leisure. However, there are many more cities in Tuscany that make for great Spring vacation ideas so be sure to check out our holiday villas in:

Countryside
If you want a real break from it all, it may be a better idea to choose a holiday villa in the Tuscan countryside. Those who choose a vacation rental in Mugello will find a blooming land dotted by noble residences, Medicean villas and elegant gardens such as the Villa Demidoff in Pratolino. Hikers can find a holiday villa in Pistoia and spend their Spring basking in the pleasantly warm weather, perfect for exploring the Pistoia Apennines with their mountainside botanical gardens and incredible monumental trees. Or, perhaps, find a vacation rental in Maremma and discover the rich and well-preserved natural beauty of the diverse area of protected and unique ecosystem from mountains to sea – all made even lovelier off-season by Spring:

The Coast
Then, of course, there is the coast. When it comes to Spring travel destinations, the Tuscan Coast is an excellent option. Water temperatures are too cold for locals and you won't encounter the serious tanning crowds so you'll find that you have beaches pretty much to yourself. For those less used to, and dependent on, hotter temperatures to enjoy a seaside holiday, it is ideal and a great time to truly explore Tuscany's prime coastline and excellent beaches. Just find a vacation rental on the Tuscan Coast and plan a getaway this Spring:
