Discover The Direct Flights And Book Your Villa In Tuscany

Have you been dreaming about a vacation in Tuscany? Well, now is a perfect time to plan a trip as many new direct flights to the region have been added!

Traditionally, many choosing to holiday in the area had to fly into Bologna but Pisa and Florence are actually the two major international airports within the region itself and might be more convenient arrival points depending on where you will be staying. Thankfully, however, there are increasingly more and more direct routes opening to these two regional airports so if you want to plan a trip, you’ll have more options available to you. Book your villa in Tuscany and you’ll be able to easily organise your arrival thanks to these new direct flights...

The Parco Benestare is a park in the areas located in, and a collaboration between, the districts of Gambassi Terme (near Florence) and Montaione in Tuscany. It is a unique concept for a new kind of park land that has no strict territorial boundaries and takes in and celebrates the culture, beauty and history of both areas.

Composed of picturesque routes, the park brings visitors on interesting journeys through the Tuscan landscape and allows them to experience its uncommon beauty.

If you are looking to get away from it all, this is just the place! We have plenty of vacation rentals in Gambassi Terme and vacation rentals in Montaione as well as some in nearby towns. Check out our vacation rentals in San Gimignano, Certaldo and Castelfiorentino as well.

Gambassi Terme is a town in Tuscany, located in the south of Florence province, on the border with the province of Siena, which is home to famous thermal baths. Archaeological evidence indicates that the town has been inhabited since the Neolithic Age but it wasn't properly settled until the Etruscans arrived in the seventh century BC. It was later home to the Romans and there is evidence of a castle there in the Middle Ages, going as far back as 1037. Gambassi Castle then became property of the bishopric of Volterra until the end of the twelfth century before a newer castle was built next to the old in the 12th century. Disputes over the ownership of the town led to bloody battles until it finally came under Florentine rule in the 13th century. Only since 1977 has it been called Gambassi “Terme”, an addition to highlight the importance of its natural spas (the “terme”).

For a peaceful yet fascinating place to visit during your holiday to Tuscany, Castelfiorentino is perfect for the tourists that like to see the little Tuscan towns off the beaten track. Situated between the Arno River valley and the north face of Elsa valley, Castelfiorentino was once a military base because it was of equal distance from the main Renaissance cities of Pisa, Siena and Florence. It was originally built on the side of the famous Via Francigena pilgrim route to facilitate the many travellers who passed by and needed somewhere to eat and rest for the night.

Visitors have a fantastic range of exclusive villas in Castelfiorentino with excellent customer reviews. The town’s original name was Castelvecchio, meaning ‘old castle’ because it grew on the site of an ancient Roman castle known as Timignano. It was a huge fortress with doubled layer walls with five gates and a lookout tower. Some of its ruins can still be seen today by tourists. In 1149, the town’s name was changed to Castelfiorentino because of its close relations with the city of Florence.

Walk Castelfiorentino's Route Of Nativity Scenes Through The City

Italy is famous for her Nativity scenes, or presepi, and Tuscany, in particular, has quite a long and rich tradition of exhibiting some very impressive examples. Many different towns have presepi, sometimes with live animals and actors, sometimes on a large scale, sometimes innovative, sometimes historic and traditional, and sometimes as part of an exhibition of multiple examples. In fact, last year, we wrote a whole guide to the different presepe traditions in Tuscany. However, one town with one of the most beloved and famous of these traditions in recent years has to be Castelfiorentino. If you have found a luxury villa in Florence and love Christmas, this magical little Tuscan festive tradition might be your cup of tea.

Boccaccesca: A Delicious Reason To Book A Villa In Tuscany This Fall

Autumn means harvest season and if you were thinking about an off-season vacation in Tuscany in one of our Tuscany villas then foodies will be glad to know thaat it is also foodie season. During the Fall, Tuscany is not only flooded with all sorts of delicious food products that have been freshly harvested but it abounds with food festivals. While food festivals do take place throughout the entire year, there are endless options to choose from at this time of the year, in particular. One of the larger and most impressive among these has to be Certaldo’s Boccaccesca festival. Named for and held in honour of the famous 14th century writer and beloved son of the town, Boccaccio, this foodie festival has been taking place since 1999 and sees Certaldo Alto taken over for three to four days each October or late September by all sorts of food stalls selling products and snacks, demonstrations, lessons, talks, tastings, and much more besides. So, if you love to eat well and you have been browsing our luxury villas in Florence nearby or our holiday rentals in Certaldo itself, then consider planning a getaway in the area around the 14th to the 16th of October this year or around that general time on any given year to sample the delights of the Boccaccesca festival.
