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...

If you were thinking about planning a trip to a Christmas market but you also were considering booking a villa in Florence this festive season, then why not combine the two by visiting the city’s annual Christmas markets and many other wonderful festive attractions? With the various markets opening in mid to late November and continuing through Christmas and some right into the new year, there should be plenty of opportunity to experience this beloved annual tradition for yourself, plus the city boasts a wide array of other types of fun adventures at this time of the year... 

While anyone who is browsing our Tuscany Villas and decides to book a holiday rental in Florence will likely have a list of attractions, landmarks, architectural wonders, and museums that they want to visit devised shortly upon beginning planning their itinerary, we also want to highlight the importance of merely wandering around the city. The birthplace of the Renaissance, Florence is not only home to some extraordinary institutions that house works of art but it is also basically one giant open-air museum as well. So, instead of darting from one attraction to the next, really taking your time as you explore will be incredibly rewarding and is an experience and activity in its own right. 

It is important that everyone in your party can enjoy a vacation comfortably and safely and as we have a range of accessible villas in Tuscany to choose from, it is certainly possible to accommodate those who may have mobility issues or require the use of a wheelchair.

While a getaway in Tuscany can be enjoyed by everyone, it is certainly true that many historic buildings, attractions, and towns can pose difficulties to those who have challenges when it comes to mobility. Progress has been made and destinations like Florence are actively working on making sure that all tourists can enjoy the city by introducing paved areas through cobbled sections of the city, adding lifts and ramps to buildings, and more. Although not quite everywhere is up to standard yet, here is a list of some museums in Florence and their accessibility features so you can plan a trip during a holiday in Florence, worry-free:
