What to Pack for Your Holiday in Tuscany – A Guide from Salogi Villas

Planning a trip to Tuscany? Whether you're dreaming of relaxing by the pool, exploring charming villages, or indulging in delicious Italian cuisine, packing wisely will help you make the most of your experience. At Salogi Villas, we want to make your stay as comfortable as possible. That’s why all our villas are equipped with pool towels, linen, and bathroom towels—so you can leave those out of your suitcase! To ensure you have everything you need for a seamless and enjoyable getaway, here’s our essential packing guide for your perfect Tuscan villa getaway.

1. Clothing Essentials

  • Casual daytime outfits: Light, breathable fabrics like cotton and linen are ideal for Tuscany’s warm weather. Pack sundresses, shorts, T-shirts, and comfortable clothing for daytime explorations.
  • Swimwear: Don’t forget a couple of swimsuits for pool time at your villa.
  • Comfortable shoes: Bring sandals for the pool or lounging at the villa and a good pair of walking shoes for exploring towns and countryside trails.
  • Evening wear: Whether dining at a local trattoria or enjoying a special meal at your villa, pack a few stylish yet comfortable outfits. Our team at Salogi can assist with restaurant reservations if you’d like to experience fine dining in Tuscany.
  • Light sweater or jacket: Even summer evenings can be cooler, especially in the countryside, so a light layer is recommended.

2. Accessories

  • Sunglasses: The Tuscan sun is strong—protect your eyes with a good pair.
  • Hat: A wide-brimmed hat will shield you from the sun while adding a chic touch.
  • Scarf or pashmina: Useful for visiting churches where covering shoulders may be required.
  • Tote bag, small backpack, or crossbody bag: Perfect for carrying essentials while exploring.

3. Toiletries

  • Sunscreen: A must for long days in the sun.
  • Bug spray: Mosquitoes can be present, especially in the evenings.
  • Aloe vera or after-sun lotion: In case of too much sun exposure.
  • Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash: Each villa bathroom comes equipped with a complimentary welcome set.
  • Toothbrush, toothpaste, and personal hygiene essentials.

5. Health and Safety
