Tuscany is famous for its mild Mediterranean climate, making it an ideal destination for a villa holiday throughout much of the year. In Bucine, you can expect warm summers with average highs of 28°C (82°F) from June to August, perfect for swimming in the pool or exploring the surrounding countryside on two wheels. Spring and autumn are also lovely times to visit, with mild temperatures ranging from 15-25°C (59-77°F) and fewer tourists than the peak summer months.
