Why is it feminine?

Vacanze is feminine because it derives from the Latin "vacantia" (a noun form of the adjective "vacans," meaning empty or unoccupied), which was feminine in Latin and retained that gender when the word evolved into Italian. The -ia ending in Latin naturally corresponded to feminine nouns, a pattern that persisted through the Romance language evolution.
