Spring through to early summer is a gorgeous time of year to visit Florence. Not only have the larger tourist crowds yet to descend on the city, leaving you not only with less time spent in queues and more time to explore the Birthplace of the Renaissance, but the temperatures are rising while weather conditions remain mild enough to dart all over the place as much as you want comfortably. Furthermore, the great architectural gems and sweeping vistas over the skyline and beautifully preserved historic centre are that much lovelier once the city begins to bloom... So, book your villa in Florence for a spring break or early summer getaway and come discover the city at its prettiest and the gardens that make it all the more charming...
