Fall In Love With The Fall Colours Of Tuscany

Posted in: Autumn Central Italy Chianti Events Landscape Localities Pretty Views Tourist Attractions Tuscany

Tuscany is one of the most beautiful and romantic places in all of Europe and it is truly magical during autumn! Autumn is all about adventure and exploration and colour on vacation in Tuscany. Those famous rolling green hills of the region all turn gold and the rich foliage of the forests, mountainsides, vineyards, parklands, and protected landscapes throughout Tuscany turn an incredible array of yellow, russet, and orange hues. Areas like Casentino, Chianti, and the Garfagnana are particularly striking in the intensity of their palettes and the unbelievable natural beauty on display. So, those who love autumnal vibes, getting cosy, and exploring nature will find that if they are looking to plan a fall getaway, few destinations could be better suited than Tuscany!

Visit The Stunning Theatre Of Silence In Andrea Bocelli's Tuscan Hometown

Posted in: Central Italy Concerts & Festivals Curiosities Events Must See Attractions Pretty Views Tourist Attractions Tuscany
Those who have found a vacation rental in Volterra or a vacation rental in Pisa and who are using their rentals as a base from which to explore the wider region of Tuscany should definitely note that both locations are around thirty minutes from a Tuscan town that we doubt you have ever heard of before but that many, no doubt, would like to visit! This is the town of Lajatico.

Not only is Lajatico a beautiful medieval Tuscan village but it also gave rise to one of Tuscany's most beloved and famous sons in recent decades: Andrea Bocelli. As the birthplace of the famous Italian opera singer it will certainly be a place of interest to super-fans but, also, once a year in July, it becomes a major pilgrimage spot for music-lovers from all over the globe when it holds an extraordinary annual concert.

Discover The Unexpectedly Vibrant Craft Beer Scene In Tuscany

Posted in: Central Italy Chianti Florence Food and Wine Localities San Gimignano Tuscan Coast Tuscany Wineries & Breweries
Italy is not a famous beer-producing country, unlike many of its neighbouring European counterparts further north. If you are planning a holiday in Tuscany, you are likely to be thinking of evenings spent sipping wine on a terrace, meals accompanied by excellent vintages and wonderful local wines, and day-trips to some of the region's incredible wineries and vineyards both small and intimate and massive and famous (read about some of our favourite Tuscan vineyards here). However, despite this long history of wine production and this reputation for being excellent producers of wine over beer, a craft brewing scene has developed in Tuscany in recent years, as it has in many far flung places the world over. If you're planning a trip to Tuscany and like wine well enough but can't quite give up your beer (and who can blame you; does anything hit the spot quite like a cold brew when you're on holidays?), then never fear! Read on to our guide to some of the must-see and must-sip craft beer spots that can be found in Tuscany.

Today, in fact, there are over 100 craft breweries in Tuscany alone! Despite the restrictions and intense specifications that are enforced in the production of craft beers in Italy, the industry has flourished in the region. The oldest example of one such establishment dates back to 2006...
