Tuscany · March to May
Spring in Tuscany
15–24°C, intermittent rain, long bright days from late April
Spring is when Tuscany wakes up. The wisteria blooms over Florentine palazzos in late March, the Val d'Orcia turns electric green by mid-April, and by late May the days are warm enough for outdoor lunches but the high-season crowds are still a month away.
Why visit in spring
- •Wisteria and roses in bloom across the countryside
- •Easter (Scoppio del Carro in Florence) and Liberation Day festivals
- •Vineyards green again — perfect for walking tastings
- •Hilltop towns half-empty on weekdays
- •Pre-summer villa rates 20–30% cheaper than August
