Spring holidays in Tuscany: authentic farm stays and places to slow down

Tuscany farmhouse in spring: the most authentic places to stay.

Spring is one of the best times to discover Tuscany: the days grow longer, the landscapes fill with light and colour, and everything slows down.
Those looking for an authentic experience, far from mass tourism, often choose a farmhouse, a country home surrounded by nature, where you can feel welcomed and reconnected.
In this article, I’ll take you through hills, vegetable gardens, bright rooms and quiet corners, the most authentic places to stay in Tuscany in spring.

Why visit Tuscany in Spring

Spring in Tuscany is a season of renewal. Fields begin to bloom, local markets fill with fresh products, and the weather is perfect for walking, exploring, and breathing deeply.
Unlike summer, spring offers a calmer atmosphere: fewer crowds, golden light, and mild days. It’s the perfect time for a holiday that feels real and restorative.

What makes a spring stay in Tuscany feel authentic

An authentic stay isn’t just about location, it’s about atmosphere. Here’s what makes the difference:

• warm but discreet hospitality,
• simple cooking with local ingredients,
• the presence of animals (cats, donkeys, dogs)
• the rhythm of the countryside,
• spaces that are cared for, but not artificial.

Staying at our farmhouse means living all of this: breakfast under the pergola, walks among the olive trees, and cool evenings with a glass of local wine.

Experiences you shouldn’t miss

Here are a few experiences that make a spring holiday at Terre di Cocomo truly special:

Walks through nearby villages
From Cocomo you can easily reach art cities like Pistoia, Lucca and Florence but also smaller, lesser-known towns like Buggiano, Montecatini Alto, Vinci and Collodi.
Seasonal food
Spring brings artichokes, asparagus, wild herbs, peas, courgettes and later citrus, strawberries, loquats, apricots and cherries.
Relaxing at the farmhouse
At Cocomo, you’ll find a pool for a refreshing dip (or simply to enjoy the view of the hills), a vegetable garden tended with care all year round, and plenty of outdoor space to read, rest or just slow down.
Sometimes, doing nothing is enough.

Practical tips to plan your spring holiday

To make the most of spring in Tuscany, here are a few tips:
Book early: our farmhouse is a real Tuscan country home with a limited number of rooms, often chosen by returning guests who come back year after year.
Rent a car: to move freely between towns and countryside, and avoid touristy spots.
Pack layers: mornings and evenings can be cool, but the midday sun already hints at summer.
Don’t overplan: Tuscany is full of beautiful places. Leave room for spontaneity, small discoveries and the pleasure of doing nothing.

Booking in advance: a smart choice

The most authentic and welcoming places tend to fill up quickly, simply because there are fewer of them and they’re in high demand. Here you can find our availability.
Many agriturismi, including Terre di Cocomo, also offer the option of gifting a stay with a voucher, a thoughtful idea for a meaningful present.
If you’re looking for the most authentic places to stay in Tuscany in spring, consider our farmhouse in the Tuscan countryside: not just a place to sleep, but a different way to experience your holiday.
Spring is the perfect time to return to simple things and in Tuscany, the simple things still know how to move you.
