My secret town in Tuscany that made me save hundreds on my vacation in Tuscany

A hidden Tuscan gem, Chiusdino offers dreamy countryside landscapes, medieval charm, and tranquil vibes—perfect for those seeking an authentic Italian escape! 🌻 Whether you're a history buff, food lover, or just crave serenity, these hotel picks capture the essence of this enchanting village. Relais Borgo Santo Pietro, Loc. Palazzetto, 110, Chiusdino SI Pros: The ultimate luxury retreat surrounded by lush gardens, Michelin-star dining, and a world-class spa. Their infinity pool overlooks the rolling hills (hello, Insta-worthy sunsets!), and service is super personalized. Cons: Pricey, but worth every euro for a special occasion. Some activities must be booked in advance. Agriturismo San Galgano, Località San Galgano, 168, Chiusdino SI Pros: Stay right by the legendary Abbey of San Galgano! Rustic-chic rooms, hearty farm-to-table breakfasts, and sweeping views over the valley. A photographer’s paradise, especially at sunrise. Cons: Limited room count, so book early—especially in spring and fall. Hotel La Palazzina, Loc. Palazzina, 15, Chiusdino SI Pros: Friendly vibes, cozy classic decor, and wallet-friendly rates. Super convenient for exploring both Chiusdino’s town center and nearby hiking trails. Cons: Simpler amenities compared to high-end options. Personal tip: If you’re planning to visit the Abbey, aim for golden hour for magical photos. Also, don’t skip a stroll to the Sword in the Stone—chat with locals about the legend! For your Italian countryside escape, secure your hotel on trip.com for stress-free booking and potential discounts. Renting a car is recommended for exploring hidden villages and vineyards nearby. #chiusdino #tuscanyhotels #countrysideretreat #italytravel #hiddengems

Trullo Siamese

Exploring Alberobello's famous Trulli on a chill weekday? Yes please! 🌞 The cutest part: wandering around historic lanes nearly by yourself because the crowds are low. If you want an Insta-perfect Italian escape minus the selfie-stick swarm, Alberobello is a total win. Top Spots To Visit: - Trullo Siamese (Via Monte Pasubio, 6, 70011 Alberobello BA, Italy). Open daily 09:00-22:00! This quirky, twin-roofed house has the funkiest history — look out for local legends inside and snap those iconic cone-roof pics. - The surrounding old town (Rione Monti): Just a few steps away, get lost in clusters of trulli, browse artisan shops, and grab a gelato at any corner shop (try pistachio, it’s the local star!). Travel Hacks & Tips: - Definitely visit during weekdays for a chill experience — I breezed through with no lines and tons of photo ops minus the crowds. - Most alleys are walkable. Park in the city lot right outside the historic core, then explore by foot; #Alberobello #ItalyTravel #TrulloLife #HiddenGems #tripdotcom
