A family enjoying Christmas together

The Holiday season can get pretty hectic – with all of the decorating, shopping, ceremonies and traditions, commitments to catch up with various friends and family members and acquaintances, and much more besides. Though it is meant to be a time to slow down and come together with those you love, it can end up being a rather stressful experience. If, however, you would prefer to avoid all of this and focus only on a small number of loved ones, quality time, proper rest, and making memories that will last a lifetime – the greatest gift of all – then you might be considering a getaway over the holiday season. Tuscany is an ideal destination for just such an escape so why not browse our villas in Tuscany for a Christmas or New Years and plan a break today?

Luxury store
Italy is well-known around the world for her reputation as a fashionable place and a global fashion capital. As such, there are many who have dreamed of going shopping while holidaying in Italy. However, if you are a bargain hunter or want your money to stretch farther, then you need to plan your trip for a particular time of year: during the “saldi”. Unlike many other places in the world, Italy’s sales are far more carefully regulated by the state and do not happen willy-nilly all throughout the year. One of only two times per year that sales happen is during this period, the saldi of January. If you’ve always wanted to visit the official fashion capital of Italy, this is the best time.
