As we enter spring, you might be looking forward to a summer vacation full of fun and sun after a long and dreary winter. We always think that a villa in Italy is the perfect option for those dreaming of a getaway that delivers incredible food, lovely surroundings, and endless things to see and do – all of the ingredients necessary for a perfect holiday. Of course, better still are our villas with pools in Italy, especially if you are going to be travelling during the hotter summer months, as you’ll always have somewhere to relax and cool down. However, if you’re looking for the most relaxing and atmospheric conditions for a vacation in Italy, then we think you should consider villas with sea views.

Dreaming of getting away in May and longing for the food, culture, style, and gorgeous landscapes of Italy but not sure where you should go? It’s a perfect time of year to visit and we have lots of lovely villas in Italy with availability for May 2025 located all throughout the country but there are some particularly appealing destinations that we think warrant a special mention…

Amidst the lush, tree-covered hills, valleys, and winding roads of the famous Chianti wine region of Tuscany, you might come across the impossibly charming Villa La Canonica Di Pietrafitta, a unique and charming property that crowns the sweet little hamlet of Pietrafitta, 5km from the town of Castellina in Chianti.

This lovely stone building is impossibly pretty and boasts endless character. A former priest’s home, Villa La Canonica Di Pietrafitta is made up of an old converted church with a bell tower and different little stone buildings that have been combined to form one impressive property within a paved courtyard. The result looks like a little hamlet in its own right and gives guests the sense of having taken over a little Tuscan town for their time on vacation in Tuscany!

If you are considering booking one of our villas in Tuscany, you may be wondering about how long you should spend in Tuscany? Plus, should you move around and, if so, how often? 

Many people who come to Italy, decide to plan a big once-in-a-lifetime trip - especially if they are coming from a long distance - where they try and tick off as much as possible in one go. Of course, this is understandable if you do want to fit in as much as you can but we think that you can find one vacation rental in Tuscany that would make for a perfect base and still see plenty in one holiday without totally running yourself ragged and having to move around lots. Book a comfortable, relaxing, welcoming home to return to each evening or to spend lazy days by the pool doing little at all as well as having your big adventure days – that’s the best way to experience Tuscany!

If you are planning a fall vacation in Italy and you’re dreaming ahead to a perfect getaway amongst the beautiful foliage and scenery, the calmer cities, and the incredible harvest bounty then we have some perfect tips to help you have the cosiest, most enjoyable holiday ever! Here’s what you should keep in mind during an autumn stay in one of our villas in Italy.
