Best Farmers’ Markets in Tuscany & Umbria

One of the best ways to experience the true heart of Italy, is to visit the local markets. These weekly and monthly gatherings sell everything and anything, from seasonal produce to artisanal clothing and homeware. 

We have put together a list of the best daily, weekly, and monthly markets in Tuscany and Umbria. If you have any questions, speak to your villa manager or directly to our concierge team. We also recommend keeping an eye on the markets of Campagna Amica — a foundation that promotes the value of Italian agriculture and protection of the land and environment. 

Majority of these markets start early in the morning and end around 13:00, so if you want to beat the crowds and heat, make sure to arrive early.  Before you head out, don’t forget to read our short guide to market etiquette.
