Tuscany is a region of outstanding beauty and a treasure trove of history and culture. The landscape is magnificent with its vineyards, olive groves and mediaeval hilltop villages. Visits to the ancient cities of Pisa, Lucca, Siena and of course Florence are an essential part of any holiday to this part of Italy. Once you have sampled its wonders, the warmth of its people and the excellence of its wines and cuisine, the magic of Tuscany will touch you and we know you will want to return, as we have done ourselves.
Summer is the most popular time for visiting Tuscany - but Spring has cooler blossom filled days when you can walk amid the delightful scenery or eat out of doors whilst folk at home are still keeping out the winter chill. Autumn brings the grape harvest with village wine festivals, and balmy days still warm enough for swimming.

We think Podere Costantino will make an excellent base for a Tuscan holiday whatever time of year you choose. Come in May or June for a quiet break with time to relax and enjoy the ambience of this lovely location and use Podere Costantino as a base to explore the very heart of Tuscany. September or early October is the time of the grape picking when many villages have their wine festivals to welcome in the harvest.
Terricciola is easy to reach the nearby villages: Pisa, San Gimignano, Volterra, Lucca. Ideal departure point for day-trips in the most historical and famous cities, such as Pisa (30 Km), San Gimignano (35 Km), Volterra (25 Km),
