The Magic of Tuscan Autumn at Borgo Santa Cristina

As the summer crowds fade and nature prepares for rest, Tuscany reveals its most authentic beauty. September and October are the months when the landscape turns into a living painting, the weather becomes pleasantly mild, and time seems to slow down—making room for genuine, intimate, and unforgettable experiences.

At Borgo Santa Cristina, a farmhouse nestled among the Tuscan hills just a short drive from Florence, autumn is an invitation to rediscover the simple pleasures of life.

A Season of Color, Light, and Silence

In autumn, the Tuscan light turns golden, sunsets grow longer and more intense, and the vineyards ignite with warm shades of bronze and deep ruby red. Walking along the trails that surround our agriturismo—through ancient olive groves and rolling fields—becomes a contemplative and restorative experience.

There is no noise, except for the crunch of leaves underfoot or the whisper of the wind through the cypress trees. Just nature, space, and beauty. A perfect place for those seeking peace, connection, and inspiration. 

The Time of Harvest and Authentic Flavors

September and October are also the richest months for food and wine lovers. It’s harvest time—when the hills come alive with grape picking and the production of some of the world’s finest wines begins.

During your stay, you can:

• Visit historic Chianti wineries and enjoy guided tastings

• Watch (or take part in) the olive harvest

• Discover the secrets of Tuscan extra virgin olive oil

• Savor traditional autumn dishes like pappardelle with wild boar, black cabbage soup, roasted chestnuts, and homemade desserts

Your Peaceful Escape for Body and Spirit

Our agriturismo, lovingly restored from a rural hamlet, offers cozy apartments with exposed wooden beams, ancient stone walls, and handcrafted details. Every space is designed to make you feel at home—yet far away from it all.

In autumn, we offer:

• Relaxation packages with access to local thermal baths

• Horseback riding excursions

• Tuscan cooking classes with our in-house chef

Everything is designed to help you slow down, breathe deeply, and fully embrace the natural rhythm of the seasons.

In the Heart of Tuscany, Close to Everything

Despite the peaceful atmosphere at Borgo Santa Cristina, Florence is less than an hour away—just like Siena, the Chianti Classico region, and many of Tuscany’s most beloved gems.

You can plan day trips to explore, or simply stay at the borgo: reading by the fireplace, strolling at sunset, or enjoying a glass of wine under the stars.
