Tuscany · June to August
Summer in Tuscany
28–35°C, very dry, intense midday sun
Tuscan summer is iconic — vineyard mornings, long pool afternoons, midnight dinners under the stars. It is also hot (often 35°C+ in August) and crowded. With the right villa and the right rhythm, it is unforgettable; without them, it is exhausting.
Why visit in summer
- •Palio di Siena (2 July & 16 August)
- •Sagre village festivals every weekend
- •Florence's outdoor cinema in Piazza SS. Annunziata
- •Lucca Summer Festival (Verdi, Sting, Bocelli)
- •Sea trips to the Versilia and Argentario coasts
