Visit authentic Tuscany / Italy in spring
At the beginning of March, spring announces its arrival in Italy with a spectacle of colours. Tromboni, the wild daffodils, herald the blossoming of nature. Given that the fields around holiday home Podere Palazzone are all wild meadows, they bloom particularly colourfully. Then, the wheat, which has overwintered in the fields with only a few centimetres of length, grows and replaces the beige of the fields with a delicate green. Afterwards, when the first warm days arrive, you can literally hear the grain and blades of grass growing. Instead, the dominant colour in the olive groves is purple. This is due to the light lilac of the anemones, then the strong lilac of the pervinca and later the fuchsia of the violetta etrusca. Around abandoned antique farmhouses you will find lots of yellow wildflowers. Finally, time has come for another typical picture of Tuscany: Bright red poppies create an atmosphere around our Agriturismo that you only find here in Tuscany. On the other hand, the hills around Volterra are transformed into a burgundy carpet of sulla, a typical Tuscan forage plant.
Stunning tree blossom
Another cause for Italy’s stunning beauty in spring is the tree blossom. At Podere Palazzone holiday home first almond trees blossom in a soft light pink, followed by cherry and apricot trees. In addition, sweet scents of acacia blossoms, wisteria and broom in spring awaken body and mind. Also, in May, we plant the vegetable garden and harvest the first wild plants. For instance, we cook the large leaves of the lunaria (Pope money) like spinach. However, the paramount delicacy is the wild asparagus, which requires nothing more than a few drops of our organic olive oil.
T‑Shirt Weather and outdoor sports in spring
In our part of Italy, temperatures in spring range from a pleasant 17°C (March) to 23°C (May) during the day. Perfect conditions for all outdoor sports such as hiking, horse riding and cycling. In the wild around our Agriturismo, it is not unusual coming across a shy wild boar sow with her freshlings or encountering young fawns. Many well-known cycling teams love to start their training season under the Tuscan sun.
Spring in Italy, time for Dolce Vita
Everyday life returns back outdoor in spring. Indeed, spring in Italy is the time of Dolce Vita. The first lunch tables are already set outside and, in the evening, people stroll through the alleys of Tuscany’s towns. Nearby Terriciola, famous for wine and strawberries, hosts the Festival delle Fragole. Also the classic tourist magnets of Tuscany give you a warm welcome. Above all, rural villages and lovely medieval towns are waiting to be discovered by you and your family.
