Eventi per un autunno perfetto in centro storico

Any time of the year is a good time to come and stay in Volterra. No matter how often you have come here there is always something new to discover on any level whether it be art, culture, food and wine, the countryside or the panoramic views.

Autumn is a particularly beautiful season for the sunlight bathes the countryside in a golden hue and everyone is much more relaxed after the busy high season.

A good reason to book a weekend getaway to explore the local villages and towns, the undulating hills and enjoy the excellent cuisine and fine wines.

There are fewer events in Volterra as compared to the summer months for this is the time of year when Volterra dedicates more time to art, culture and well being.

Volterra is so enchanting and captivating!

Le giuste attività per scoprire l’inverno nostrano

Winter can be rather cold and chilly in Volterra especially when the strong northerly winds bluster through and yet when the sun shines it can be really rather pleasant.

It rarely snows but when it does it creates an astoundingly magical aura both in town and the surrounding countryside enhanced by a veil of white.

Winter is an explicit invitation to experience Tuscany in a completely different light, a favourable time to enjoy seasonal culinary delights, to take pleasure in and pay homage to the subdued wintry landscape.

It is during the quiet cold season with fewer visitors that Volterra reveals its true identity and authentic integrity and provides an opening to venture into the everyday life of the local inhabitants as you have a drink in the bars and take part in local events.
