There are many reasons to get a holiday rental in Tuscany by owner during the month of September. The first of all may be the price. Spending your vacation in Tuscany in September is quite a smart thing to do, especially if you book a week or two in the second half of the month, when you are sure to find medium or even low season accommodations. Therefore you will get all the advantages of the property at a much lower price and enjoy an even less crowded rental, should you pick a farmhouse divided into apartments or a hotel. You will have no such advantage when renting a private villa, however you will still find that cities, museums, attractions, and sea resorts in Tuscany in September are all much more accessible as they are less crowded, therefore more enjoyable. No museum lines, and museums will all be open, as they are usually closed in August.
Moreover September welcomes you with a much milder weather, which in August and July can really become excessive. Walking on city streets, driving toward a nice town for a day trip is going to be less stressful thanks to less intense heat.
However, at times the weather can become a little too gloomy and cold. Some years the weather in Tuscany in September has been very autumnal since the second week, in fact spoiling the fun for those that wanted to enjoy sunbaths and refreshing pool dives. This can be most aggravating and really spoil your vacation in Tuscany. On the other side, many months of September have been spectacularly sunny throughout, but you still need to consider the risk. Of course this is why it is low season and cheaper.
Another advantage to be in Tuscany in September is that August and July are pretty much lazy months. Everyone goes on vacation, shops tend to be closed, and there are few traditional events going on. September, on the other hand, offers plenty of traditional events bound to wine harvesting and the fall season that is coming shortly. Town fairs are celebrated outdoors and give you the chance to discover more of the local culture. In addition, all shops, services, and museums are open, giving you the opportunity to live a more comfortable holiday experience.
So, the biggy here certainly is the weather in Tuscany, which more often than not is nice throughout the month of September. Adding the fact that you will find more services available to you, more local color, and less crowded tourist venues, and the huge money savings, a vacation in Tuscany in September is a great idea.
