Tuscany in the fall and winter is Tuscany at its most intimate. With fewer tourists it is the time when the locals take possession of their country again. During these months you can join them, and get the feeling of belonging to this magical region where culture and traditions are still very much alive.

November in particular is a month full of activity. The middle two weekends host the famous truffle festival in the Crete Senese. It also coincides with the olive harvest, which you might like to participate in and take a trip to the olive mill.After a day of touring you can return to your Tuscan home to relax beside an open fire with a glass or two of wine and savor the gastronomic delicacies of the season. Think about joining us for the Thanksgiving holiday, our chef will take the stress and strain away leaving you to celebrate a magnificent feast with your friends and family (of course turkey will be on the menu… somewhere!).


Christmas is without a doubt the most important holiday in Italy. For decades it has presented an opportunity for families to gather together to go to church, to eat together and to exchange gifts.
