Why visit Italy?
Italy is a country that lingers in the heart long after you’ve left it. With the romantic canals of Venice, the historic streets of Rome and the sun-kissed Amalfi Coast, each region offers something unique. The food alone is worth the trip. Authentic Italian wood-fired pizza, perfect al dente pasta, specialty artisan cheeses unique to every region, and slowly churned gelato in every imaginable flavour.
There’s history at every turn, whether in the ruins of Pompeii or the grandeur of Florence’s Renaissance masterpieces. Then there’s the effortless charm of Italian hospitality, where every meal feels like a celebration. Whether you’re exploring ancient sites or relaxing on a Mediterranean beach, Italy invites you to slow down and live La Dolce Vita.

About our special places to stay in Tuscany
Why should you book with Sawday’s?
Forget faceless chain hotels. Our places to stay in Tuscany are full of personality, run by hosts who care about their guests. In our collection you’ll find everything from rustic farmhouses where the owners press their own olive oil, and family-run B&Bs where you’ll be treated like an old friend, to arty hotels where freshly baked croissants are brought up to your room each morning. Wherever you choose to stay, you’ll experience Tuscany the authentic, welcoming way, just how it’s supposed to be.
What is the best area of Tuscany to stay in?
Tuscany is so wonderfully diverse and there’s a region to suit every traveller. Val d’Orcia’s postcard-perfect hills and villages make it one of the most beautiful places in Italy. For wine lovers, Chianti is a must, where vineyard stays let you sample world-famous reds straight from the source. Siena provides a taste of medieval Italy, and if you prefer coastal beauty, the Maremma offers wild beaches and charming fishing towns. For art and culture, Florence and Siena are packed with history.
What is the best month to visit Tuscany?
Spring and autumn hit the sweet spots. April and May bring temperatures that are warm but not sweltering, and fewer tourists, which is perfect for countryside walks and alfresco dining. September and October are harvest months, making them ideal for wine lovers who want to experience grape picking and tasting at their best. If you don’t mind tourist crowds, the summer months (June to August) offer long, sun-filled days. Winter (November to March) brings cosy stays and an intimate feel in the historic town.
