Festivals and Seasonal Events in Tuscany:

There are many events all year round throughout Tuscany, but many are concentrated during the summer.
Many 'sagre', or festivals dedicated around a particular local product, start in early summer and continue on through the autumn when local specialties (truffles, wine, olive oil, marroni chestnuts) come into season.
In Versilia you will find a lot of sagre organised by the various 'contrade' which give life to the Palio dei Micci (1st Sunday of May). They offer typical dishes (tordelli and panzanelle) in the evenings of July, August and mid September.
If you are coming to Tuscany during other periods of the year, don't worry as there is always something to see or do (or eat!) then as well.
For specific events, it is best to contact the local tourism office.

Please, contact the owners for furhter details:.They will be glad to answer to all your questions.

The flat and the garden look like in the photos. You can go on excursions to the sea as well as to the mountains. Gemma and Andrea are very friendly and considerate hosts. You can always ask them about excursion destinations. And you get great tips for tasty local and ice cream parlours nearby. We felt at home, as if we were visiting friends.

We had a lovely stay in Antico Borgo. The apartment itself made us feel at home, it was clean and thoughtfully decorated in an unique and antique way that resembled the flair of the Italian countryside. The garden felt loved and well maintained, a little paradise in the backyard (which we unfortunately didn’t use as often as we would have liked – seems like there is yet another reason to come back here :)). Gemma and Andrea were so kind and warm to us, always eager to help and provide tips and advice (wether it was about preventing mosquito bites or finding the best focaccia and gelato or a new destination for our daily trips), so we could experience the best this region has to offer. We are very thankful to have had such great hosts, who obviously care a lot about their guests. We will miss this place and the hospitality that made our summer vacation the best it cold have been. This vacation was truly outstanding and something that we will remember with a smile on our faces and a warm feeling inside. Thank you so much for having us, for your kindness and for making Italy feel like home for two weeks.

We had a wonderful stay. Gemma and her husband are great hosts and very lovely people. We felt very comfortable and didn't miss anything. The area is really great. On one side the sea with a great sandy beach. On the other side the mountains with a great panorama. But also the cities in the surroundings invite to stroll or to culinary evenings. We can fully recommend it. We have a small tip: you should have anti-mosquito spray in your luggage. The mosquitoes in this area are quite aggressive.

We, a family with three children aged 18, 16 and 13, had a great holiday in appartement Alpi Apuane. It is decorated with love and you will find very beautiful furniture, tableware etcetera that makes you feel welcome. All you need for a nice holiday is available. The farmhouse has a large beautiful garden with a lot of different corners with chairs so there is enough privacy. There is a great patio were we had breakfast and diner every day. The location is perfect, near the beach and the beautiful mountains were we spent al lot of time. You can also visit Florence, Lucca and Pisa which is certainly recommendable. At last we want to mention the special owners, Gemma and Andrea. We never met such nice hosts before! They are so dedicated and do everything to feel you at home. Gemma speeks English very well and she gave us a lot of good tips to go to, reastaurants, beautiful old villages, spectaculair nature, to much to mention. We want to thank Gemma and Andrea very much for taking so much effort. We hope to meet them and visit Antigo Borgo again.

We’d like to thank you very, very much, Gemma and Andrea, for this lovely Versiglian summertime, we’ve been fortunate to experience! It’s been a perfect combination of sightseeing, enjoying the sea at the beach and exploring untouched nature reservoirs. All of it perfectly framed by your so gracious hospitality, the frequent chats in the wonderful garden, your very well received tips and a memorable Tuscan dinner ;-)! Mille gracie! Rainer, Anna, Jonas, Julian & Philippa

We (a couple from Germany) stayed at this very lovely house (Tra Gli Olivi) for the second time. At the arrival, it was like coming home. It was a great pleasure to see Gemma and Andrea again. They are really dedicated and friendly hosts and made our second stay at their house a wonderful experience again. Although we had already seen many locations in the area at our first visit, Gemma and Andrea still had plenty of valuable ideas where to go (at sunny weather as well as at rainy weather), what to see and what to eat. Thanks to Gemma and Andrea, we have had some splendid days in Tuscany again. Our first visit was in late spring / early summer. This time we came at the end of summer / beginning of autumn. Thus, we could enjoy the house and its surroundings in a different season. All the olive trees in the garden now had little olives. That was really fascinating. The house was in good shape and everything was clean. The house is equipped with everything you need. In one sentence: we enjoyed our stay so much that we will definitely come back a third time!

We (two parents in their 30’s and three kids between 4 and 9 years; from Germany) absolutely love this place! It’s our very first time, that we went to the same place a second time, just the next year... normally we like to check out new places, but Gemma’s and Andrea’s house is just perfect! The nearby sea is great, people and landscape are beautiful, there’s a lot of stuff to do and discover ... and the weather was fantastic (same as the year before). Gemma’s home is very tasteful decorated, and it’s a pleasure how free and comfortable one feels at her place. The hosts are caring, always helping you with all of your questions. The town is also very nice, and if you enjoy shopping or just strolling around high class shops, you are definitely at the right place... We couldn’t endorse this place even more! You will – as we did – fall in love with it! :)

This year we came back to Antico Borgo like home. And it was the first time in our family‘s travel history than we have stayed in the same place, in the same apartment for the second time. It was worth of it. And this is thanks to the excellent hosts. Gemma, Andrea and Metteo are very warm and careful, hospitable people. We have some nice evenings together! The flat is nice and comfortable and per year had some improvements! After long day of traveling the view through the windows to garden and mountains always gave a calm and a pleasure to the eyes. Versillia, Tuscany and its surroundings have so much interesting, worth seeing places. This year we’ve visited quite new places and had nice impressions. Gemma and Andrea, thank you for coziness and care! Dear friends, good luck!!!
