Love both Tuscan food and global cuisine, at large? Well, why not combine both and eat really well while you enjoy a stay in one of our villas in Arezzo this autumn? Come enjoy the harvest season and local dishes alongside flavours from all over the world at the annual Mercato Internazionale!

Spread over 3km, along the pretty little streets of Arezzo’s lovely and charming historic centre, the Mercato Internazionale lines the thoroughfares of the Medieval town with stands and stalls selling street foods, products, delicacies, and handcrafted specialities from 170 international operators hailing from 35 different countries, with all five continents represented! Stalls are to be open daily for the duration of the event, from 9am to 2am, and will be accompanied by a vibrant schedule of all sorts of other events involving music, dance, children's entertainment, and more. Basically, for the three days of the market, the whole historic centre turns into one big party - a party with lots of excellent food, of course!

For those who love to eat well, an off-season stay in a villa in Tuscany is an especially great idea during September as you can not only avail of the spoils of the harvest season, but you can also enjoy summer-like conditions and smaller tourist crowds – the best of both worlds! Not only will a trip at this time of the year mean that hearty autumn dishes will be served all over and all sorts of delicious things will be freshly harvested but it is also when many food festivals are held all across Italy and especially all across Tuscany. So, if you have found a villa with pool in Tuscany and you’re making the most of the almost-summer that is September, here are the food festivals that you should also check out!

Left it late to book your vacation this year? Or maybe you prefer a slightly off-season holiday to avoid the especially hot weather? Well, either way, it might be an idea to book your holiday rental in Tuscany for September instead! Not only can the weather remain pretty warm (but not too hot, either!) and sunny for the first couple weeks of the month but prices will begin to lower and tourist crowds will begin to thin, making September a great choice for many travellers. 

If you have booked a villa in Tuscany and are planning to vacation in the area during the hot summer months, then you are likely interested in enjoying your stay and your food, despite the heat. There are plenty of ways to do so but eating the right foods really helps and eating, in general, is one of the great pleasures of a holiday in Tuscany.

There are various delicious, light, and refreshing options for snacks, meals, and desserts that can be enjoyed by those who book a villa with pool in Tuscany during the summer months, from salads to cured meats to fish dishes to gelato, but how about a tasty and wholesome tomato soup? 

We are now one month into the high season and the summer holidays. With just two months of summer proper left to go, you may be among the number of people who have yet to secure their big vacation for the year but, never fear, there is still time to book your holiday rental in Tuscany! 

Whether you were not sure where you wanted to go, you did not know when you would have time off, you were waiting for other things to fall into place or other people to clear their schedules, or you were simply too busy to think about it until now, we still have some incredible villas in Tuscany with dates for summer 2025 that you can book today.
