Love the cinema? Adore free events? Planning on enjoying a stay in one of our villas in Florence? Well, then you should definitely check out this year's edition of Apriti Cinema, which gives you the opportunity to attend outdoor screenings of interesting films in a unique outdoor location in the city – the courtyard of the world-famous Uffizi Gallery! If you’re already planning on seeing the masterpieces on canvas and paper and sculpted from stone within the gallery then why not also try and catch a cinematic gem as well? 

Some don’t care to travel in the summer because of the heat or the potential tourist crowds but one of the best reasons to persist and travel at this time of the year is the array of festivals, celebrations, and events that tend to take place during the summer months. Whether it’s because you’re in a country with longer days in the summer or because the sunny weather improves moods and makes people want to get out, do things, and party, this is generally the time of the year when there are endless things to see and do and exciting events abound. Particularly in Tuscany! Those who book a villa in Tuscany for the summer will find that there are all sorts of amazing events to experience from traditional celebrations and historic oddities to pop culture celebrations and modern thrills.

So, here are the events taking place in Tuscany for summer 2024!

A vacation in Tuscany is always a good idea but do you know what is also an absolutely excellent plan? A villa on the Tuscan Coast!

Offering all of the best parts of a holiday in Tuscany that immediately come to mind – incredible food, amazing wine, pretty little historic towns, views of the impossibly lush pastoral landscape, and easy access to some of the most famous museums and cities of culture in the world – as well as the chance to enjoy a seaside escape. It really is the best of both worlds!

Fellow cherry lovers who are planning on booking a villa in Tuscany this May (or any other May) will definitely want to make note of the town of Lari in the province of Pisa. Home to the delicious PGI cherry of Lari, this pretty walled medieval town, perched overlooking rolling Tuscan hills and surrounded by cypresses and lush greenery, is very typically Tuscan and utterly charming in its own right. However, come on the last two weekends of this month (May 25th to the 26th and May 31st to the 2nd of June) and you’ll not only be able to enjoy the beauty of the town but also sample her protected, famous cherries, and experience the celebrations!
