From the better availability of our best properties, to the lower costs that can often be associated with travelling during the off-season, to the smaller tourist crowds in popular destinations and attractions, to the milder weather that can make outdoor pursuits and general exploration more pleasant, a spring getaway in Italy has a lot to recommend it. However, there are also some lesser-known or less obvious things about travelling in Italy in the spring that we enjoy so, if you’re still uncertain and considering it, here are some other excellent incentives to book that spring break in Italy today…

What are some lesser-known art attractions in Florence?

This is a question to ask if you are the type of person who wants to go beyond a destination’s most obvious tourist attractions. Those who find a villa in Florence and are diving into the rich history of art and design in this important art capital will likely consider visits to the Uffizi Gallery, the Accademia, the Duomo. These key art institutions are home to works by some of the most famous names in the history of art but if you want to go beyond these more well-known gems and see something else, then read on for our guide to some of the city’s less familiar museums and galleries that are equally fascinating wonders and incredible reflections of this extraordinary cultural titan of a holiday destination. Book your holiday rental in Florence with Italy Villas and then come explore:

Tuscany is one of our key holiday destinations in Italy and for good reason. It is an impossibly famous and beloved part of the world that abounds in extraordinary sights, flavours, attractions, and wonders. In addition, we have a large selection of properties of all kinds all across the region.

Looking for a villa in Tuscany with a pool? We have plenty of those! Villas that not only have private pools for long days of sun and fun without even having to leave the house but that often also boast brilliant pool areas with all sorts of other features such as loungers, umbrellas, other outdoor furnishings, outdoor showers, and much more besides. 

With its impossibly rich cultural heritage, Italy is home to some of the most iconic works of art that are famous the world over and that most of us will have grown up seeing. While there are many famous art cities in Italy (we just recently spoke of the astounding wealth of artworks within the Vatican in Rome alone), one of the most important and significant is the city of Florence. Known as the, "birthplace of the Renaissance," it is one of the must-see destinations that every art-lover should have on their bucket list. Luckily, we have an array of amazing villas in Florence to choose from, making it easy to plan a getaway and tick it off!

While on your arty holiday in Florence, one of the aforementioned iconic artworks that can be found in this gem of a city in Tuscany is Michelangelo's David.
