Guests can use the wooden deck or the garden for yoga and meditation, or ask us for private sessions at the villa.
The land of Mugello is an unspoilt area in northern Tuscany, a few kilometers north of Florence. The area is a wide, green valley crossed in parts by the Sieve river. It is the cradle of the famous Medici family and of painters such as Giotto and Beato Angelico.
It still is a hidden gem of Tuscany, with history, wild nature, traditional Tuscan food and a fresher climate during the hot Italian summers.
The villa is located in Lo Spinoso, Mugello, Tuscany (35 km from the center of Florence, close to the small towns of Borgo San Lorenzo and Vicchio). It is surrounded by green hills and wheat fields. A very quiet place for travellers who want to reconnect with nature.
Close by you you will find the House of Giotto, where the architect of the famous and splendid Campanile di Giotto in Florence (known as Giotto’s bell tower) was born back in 1267.
Also nearby: Mugello circuit (12 km), Fiesole (28 km), Bilancino Lake (20 km). For shopping lovers there is McArthurGlen Barberino Designer Outlet (23 km).
Coming by car is strongly recommended to completely enjoy the area. Public transport not available at walking distance.
