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...

Come and visit the perfect example of an authentic small Tuscan town, Casole d’Elsa which has earned the prestigious Orange Flag Award for being a fantastic tourist attraction and an environment of relatively undisturbed beauty. Visitors have a wealth of beautiful villas with guest reviews and other holiday rental accommodation available to them in the Casole d’Elsa area where they can relax and enjoy the breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.

While entering the town for a day of exciting exploration, tourists will see the some of the remaining walls and two watch towers surrounding it that were designed by the famous military architect, Francesco di Giorgio in the 15th century.

Unique Souvenirs And A Stunning Museum In Colle Di Val D'Elsa

Located in the Province of Siena,Colle di Val d’Elsa is a pretty medieval town that is not far from the historic via Francigena and was, therefore, a pit-stop for travellers and pilgrims for centuries. Like many cities in Tuscany, it was once a centre of artistic and artisanal production but, unlike most of its neighbours, remains that way to this day. It continues to be the Italian capital of crystal and, as such, has been nicknamed the “Bohemia of Italy.” In fact, Colle di Val d’Elsa accounts for 95% of all Italian crystal glass production and 14% of the global production of crystal, which is an incredible feat.

Due to this scale and the economic importance of the craft in the town, it remains central to life for locals, with the first Sunday of each month playing host to a crystal market in town and open-air demonstrations of glass-making (from around 3pm) in the historical centre of the city on Via della Misericordia. In addition, there is also a rather special museum dedicated to the craft, the Museum of Crystal of Colle di Val d'Elsa, which puts these incredible objects on display. If you have found a holiday rental in Siena and are spending time exploring the province, set aside some time to get a little bit off the beaten tourist path and come enjoy the peace and beauty of this amazing town and its rich cultural history. You might even pick up a piece of crystal as a special and lovely souvenir of your time in this beautiful part of the world.

Food is an important part of Tuscan life and culture and, as such, is an important part of vacations in Tuscany. While we have plenty of articles on typical products, foodie experiences, wineries, tours, classes and restaurants, it is always best to hear these things directly from the locals and, so, we have rounded up a list of some of the best and most informative food bloggers in Tuscany. Just find a vacation rental in Tuscany, take note of your favourites, follow them and start planning your culinary getaway to this foodie capital of the world!

The exciting town of Colle Val d’Elsa in Tuscany would be an excellent stopover for a day or two during your holiday to Tuscany. It won the prestigious Orange Flag Award for its unusual yet beautifully constructed town. The top of Colle Val d’Elsa is called Colle Alta and the bottom, more modern part of the town is called Colle Bassa. Tourists can walk up and down to both sections but there’s an inbuilt lift to carry you up and down if you wish! There’s a fantastic range of holiday rentals in the River Elsa valley close to the town itself where tourists can rest after a few days of enjoyable exploration!

Holidays are made for doing things you have never tried before and for doing the things that you love but normally do not have the time or energy to pursue in your daily life. From surfing to hiking to wine-tasting, there are all sorts of pursuits that can be enjoyed at your leisure while on holidays, without worrying about having to get back to chores or work and without having to consider any potential costs incurred in the way that you might normally have to factor into your plans. For many, one great example of an activity that they may have long loved but never have quite enough time for or easy access to if they live in bigger towns and cities and an activity that others may be curious about but never actually got around to trying out is horseback riding! Particularly enjoyable if you are exploring new landscapes, horseback riding is especially wonderful for those who have found a vacation rental in Tuscany as the stunning, rolling hills and pastoral settings of the Tuscan countryside make for the perfect place to befriend a new equine pal and plod along together through the prettiest of surroundings.
