An authentic experience where taste meets nature.
Autumn in the low season: the benefits
Autumn is the ideal season for those seeking a slower-paced holiday. Temperatures are milder, far from the summer heat, and the landscapes of the Pistoia Apennines can be enjoyed without the crowds. Added to this are more affordable prices compared to the summer months, allowing you to experience Tuscany at a relaxed and unhurried pace.
