As summers continue to get warmer and warmer, many travellers who are planning a vacation during the season are thinking ahead of their trips in order to ensure their comfort and safety. This can mean considering your location and choosing a date earlier in the summer or in early autumn to avoid the worst of the heat if necessary. It can mean planning your itinerary of visiting attractions and scheduling certain activities around the temperatures throughout the day. It can guide how and what you pack. Certainly, it will inform the vacation rental that you choose and the amenities that you prioritise – especially air-conditioning! 

Tuscany is one of those places where astoundingly beautiful sights abound. It is not uncommon to turn a corner and have your breath stolen away by some perfect combination of rolling green hills, cypress-lined roads, pretty little stone farmhouses, medieval towns untouched by the passing of time, fields of golden sunflowers, snow-capped peaks, an elegant Medici palace, a vineyard sprawling across a valley, or a great city. These magical elements of this diverse and lovely landscape come together in some truly magical and beyond picturesque ways to create stunning backdrops to a perfect vacation in Tuscany. However, if you are planning to pop a rather important question while staying in one of our romantic villas in Tuscany, dining on the delicious local cuisine, sipping incredible Tuscan wines, enjoying la dolce vita, and exploring the incredible history, culture, and beauty of the region, then there are some rather special backdrops to choose from indeed.

Travelling is all about unique experiences that you won’t forget, memories that will last a lifetime, shared with people you love, new friends, or even just made on your own as you expand your horizons. Sometimes these experiences involve ticking a famous sight off your bucket list and finally seeing something with your own eyes. Sometimes it’s something big. Other times, however, it is the small things that stand out most, the little moments. These sorts of travel experiences and memories mostly can’t be planned but you can set yourself up to have one of these quietly wonderful moments by being in the right place, at the right time, with the right attitude. Come with a spirit of whimsy and joy and you’ll really make the most of it while you vacation in Tuscany...
