When to go?
Take advantage of mid-season prices in April-June and September (July is hot; August is hotter and very busy). Or if you don’t mind cooler weather, go in low season for even less (from as little as €88 a night). In October you might catch a local wine festival - there are wine-tastings in Manciano, Scansano and Pitigliano; at weekends in November, help celebrate the season’s new production of fine olive oils. Throughout the year, there are numerous food festivals - strawberries in Marsiliani in May, wild boar in Capalbio in September.
