Left it late to book your vacation this year? Or maybe you prefer a slightly off-season holiday to avoid the especially hot weather? Well, either way, it might be an idea to book your holiday rental in Tuscany for September instead! Not only can the weather remain pretty warm (but not too hot, either!) and sunny for the first couple weeks of the month but prices will begin to lower and tourist crowds will begin to thin, making September a great choice for many travellers. 

If you have booked a villa in Tuscany and are planning to vacation in the area during the hot summer months, then you are likely interested in enjoying your stay and your food, despite the heat. There are plenty of ways to do so but eating the right foods really helps and eating, in general, is one of the great pleasures of a holiday in Tuscany.

There are various delicious, light, and refreshing options for snacks, meals, and desserts that can be enjoyed by those who book a villa with pool in Tuscany during the summer months, from salads to cured meats to fish dishes to gelato, but how about a tasty and wholesome tomato soup? 

We are now one month into the high season and the summer holidays. With just two months of summer proper left to go, you may be among the number of people who have yet to secure their big vacation for the year but, never fear, there is still time to book your holiday rental in Tuscany! 

Whether you were not sure where you wanted to go, you did not know when you would have time off, you were waiting for other things to fall into place or other people to clear their schedules, or you were simply too busy to think about it until now, we still have some incredible villas in Tuscany with dates for summer 2025 that you can book today.

Wandering around a local market, browsing among the handmade crafts, snacking on delicious and freshly-made treats, enjoying the hustle and bustle and flavour of the atmosphere... these are the things that we rarely have enough time for in our daily lives but that we can readily indulge in when on vacation in Tuscany. So, find your villa in Tuscany and then visit some of her incredible local markets to get a real taste for the unique charms and atmosphere and to relax and indulge during your getaway...

If you are planning an early summer vacation in Florence and are going to be wandering around the city, we recommend making the most of the green spaces of the Birthplace of the Renaissance while they are in full bloom. Time spent in the famously beautiful and elaborate gardens of historic palaces that are now open to the public for visits, hanging out in one of the large public parks with a picnic, or simply taking a little breather in one of the charming flower gardens run by the city, offers visitors a chance to pause and relax in peaceful and pretty surroundings. It’s very easy to book a vacation rental in Florence and then spend your entire trip dashing around in a mad effort to see and do it all but it is also important to take a moment, enjoy the atmosphere and the good looks of the city, and to stop and smell the roses...

The best place to do just that is the Rose Garden in Florence. A place where extraordinary blooms, interesting artwork, and stunning views over the city’s skyline all come together, it is a must-see for those who are staying in a holiday rental in Florence in May or June.
