When summer draws to an end, most begin to let the idea of a summer holiday leave their minds; thoughts drift to luxury ski holidays<\/a>, mountain-side adventures, and apr\u00e8s-ski. But those of us who appreciate a warm breeze and greener pastures, are still holding onto to warm and peaceful retreats. Luxury holidays in Tuscany in autumn are the perfect solution to relish the last of the Italian sunshine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is something quite magical about Italy in the shoulder seasons. The moderate temperatures and inviting scenery, draped in oranges and pinks, make it the perfect destination for an autumnal holiday. Of course, luxury villas in Tuscany<\/a> are in high demand all year round. So what makes autumn in Italy so special? Here are our top 5 reasons why we should all be considering a luxury holiday to Tuscany in autumn…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1 Mild Climate and Changing Colours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Chianti<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With temperatures much warmer than the UK in autumn, it’s the best time to visit Tuscany to steadily embrace the change of seasons. Summer in Tuscany is certainly warmer, but the heat of July in Tuscany can make the idea of exploration seem so distant! Lounging and dining are the spirit of Italian summers. So if you’re looking to add a little more excitement and sightseeing into your trip, the moderate temperatures of luxury holidays in Tuscany in autumn are perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temperatures in the autumn normally vary, though they can reach a comfortable warm 25\u00b0C during the day. Be sure to pack some layers for the cooler evenings, and double-check the forecast before you travel. Although there’s something quite charming about getting caught in the refreshing rain in Tuscany in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with the slight dip in temperature, the main thing that will strike you about Tuscany in the autumn is the change in colours as the fiery tones take over. The leaves turn to orange and red, a burnt painting of beautiful vibrancy. But it’s the rolling hills and stunning open views offered by Tuscany that really enhance the autumnal atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 Quieter Streets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Quiet<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our second reason is perhaps one of the most compelling arguments for ‘off-season’ holidays. You don’t have to share your destination with thousands of other holidaymakers! If you are looking for an authentic Italian experience, then plan your luxury holidays in Tuscany for autumn. Wander the beautiful streets in the many picturesque towns and villages Tuscany has to offer without having to manoeuvre through swathes of travellers. It’s in these moments that you tend to find the best hidden gems in Tuscany; from 200-year-old pasta restaurants to curiosity shops with unseen treasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can also mean better value as you look for a luxury villa in Tuscany<\/a> too. As the main summer season ends, prices tend to get lower. You can usually find the best deals in Tuscany in October and November, with no compromise on the beauty of the region!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 Seasonal Delicacies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Brown<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As well as the staple pasta and pizza that many enjoy in Italy, the cuisine is a collage of delicacies. Why not head to the Monte Amiata area for one of the Mushroom and Chestnut festivals<\/a> in October in Tuscany?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find one of these festivals in the charming village of Vivo d\u2019Orcia! This little hamlet may seem off-the-beaten-track, but it hides glorious, nutty secrets. During the festival, the village divides into two for the Palio del Boscaiolo<\/a> competition. This entails the teams cutting logs into tables and stools using antique saws, after which they eat a polenta dish prepared by teammates. This sort of experience is brimming with rural Italian culture, leaving you with a unique story to bring home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also a nature walk for fungi enthusiasts, where different species of mushroom are explained. However, the main attraction is the sale of porcini and chestnuts, as well as the local porcini dishes that are available. If you’re a foodie, then this is the festival for you this autumn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4 Peaceful Attractions in Tuscany<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Going to all the well-known tourist spots in the height of summer can make it difficult to fully appreciate them due to the crowds. So unsurprisingly, autumn is the best time to visit Tuscany if you want to check out the local attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the temperatures do fall below expected on one of your days in Tuscany, fear not! Simply take a day trip to the stunning Cascate del Mulino<\/a>. This natural hot spring in Tuscany is not only beautiful but also completely free! During the summer, tourists and locals alike flock here for some relaxation in the warm waters. Of course, with too many people, this could feel stifling. In autumn, expect a much quieter setting where you can fully enjoy the thermal waters; the calcareous rock pools dug by the waterfall and the beautiful views of the surrounding landscape really shine in the shoulder seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The water flows from a natural spring at a temperature of 37\u00b0C, and the springs are open 24\/7, 365 days a year. There is also a free car park and a small caf\u00e9\/bar on site, making for the perfect day out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 Fruits of the Countryside: from Wine to Olives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Tuscan<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Autumn means harvest time in Italy. Far from just the culinary classics, Italy’s native fruits are bountiful and versatile. After foraging for truffles, mushrooms, and chestnuts, you’ll need a glass of something full-bodied to pair with dinner. October and November are the prime months for this, and signal the wine season! Visit Tuscany in September to welcome the beginning of the wine season, with several tastings and wine festivals taking place throughout. There are many wine tours available during autumn, where you can learn all about the wine region and even have a go at making your own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it’s not all about wine in the Italian countryside. Tuscany is a notable producer of extra virgin olive oil in the world, and so its olives can only be of the highest quality. By visiting Tuscany in November, you can taste the first pressed olive oil in San Quirico d’Orcia. This event, known as Prim’Olio<\/a>, has to be on your foodie bucket list!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When considering which luxury villa in Tuscany to stay in, Villa Il Santo<\/a> is conveniently located in the heart of Chianti Valley, surrounded by picturesque vineyards and olive groves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
