Avoid the busy tourist crowds by enjoying your holiday to Tuscany outside of the busy summer months between mid June and the end of August. It’s much quieter in the months of April and May before and September and October after if you wish to miss the majority of crowds but still enjoy a relatively busy and vibrant holiday with other excited tourists.

For those that want to skip that altogether and simply enjoy Tuscany for its beauty, peacefulness and culture then the Low season between November and April would be an ideal time for you to visit!

Why not stay in a peaceful five bedroom villa overlooking the Tuscan coastline where you can relax and unwind in the cool salty breeze?

The quaint little village of Pomaia in the Santa Luce municipality of Pisa is home to one of the largest Tibetan monasteries in the western world, the Lama Tzong Khapa Insitute! This peaceful sanctuary attracts thousands of visitors every year who come here on day retreats or even to study some of the spiritual courses these wise monks offer.

For those wishing to include a trip to this fascinating place on their next Tuscan vacation, why not book into a charming holiday villa in Pomaia village where they can be right beside it.

If you’re passing through the cosy little town of Collodi in Pistoia province during your next vacation in Tuscany then you should certainly spend a few hours walking around the splendid Garzoni Gardens.

The layout is nearly exactly the same today as it was back then. Tourists wishing to spend a few days in the area to explore them and other tourist attractions have a fine selection of beautiful villa rentals in Pescia, less than six kilometres away from the gardens.

The stunning Renaissance style geometry of the Garzoni Gardens with a hint of Baroque styling are truly magnificent to behold! There’s a fragrant array of flora and fauna that are growing throughout and pruned to perfection. Stroll around the winding paths and admire the awe inspiring sculptures and exquisite water fountains.
