About this property
Villa Mugello is a peaceful countryside retreat for up to 18 guests, set in the green hills of northern Tuscany, offering a refreshing alternative to the region’s more crowded hotspots. Surrounded by open landscapes and woodland, the villa provides a calm and private setting where days naturally slow down and time is best spent outdoors, enjoying the space and scenery.
Inside, the villa has a relaxed and welcoming feel, with comfortable living areas designed for groups to gather easily throughout the day. The interiors are practical and unfussy, creating a home-like atmosphere that suits long summer stays and shared holidays. Large openings connect the indoor spaces with the garden, encouraging an easy flow between the house and the surrounding countryside.
Outside, the private swimming pool is the focal point of the villa, set within a generous garden that invites guests to unwind under the Tuscan sun. There is ample room for sunbathing, swimming and enjoying quiet moments with a book, while shaded areas provide welcome relief during the warmer hours. Outdoor dining spaces make it easy to enjoy meals al fresco, from lazy lunches to relaxed evenings spent together as the light fades over the hills.
Villa Mugello is well positioned for exploring a lesser-known yet beautiful part of Tuscany. Nearby villages offer a glimpse of local life, while scenic drives lead through forests, valleys and traditional mountain towns. Ideal for guests seeking space, nature and a slower pace, Villa Mugello offers an authentic Tuscan escape where the setting is as much a part of the experience as the villa itself.
Villa Mugello is set in the unspoilt countryside of northern Tuscany, close to the small village of Palazzuolo sul Senio, an area known for its forests, mountain landscapes and traditional way of life. This peaceful corner of the region feels far removed from the busier tourist routes, making it ideal for guests seeking a quieter and more rural Tuscan experience.
Palazzuolo sul Senio offers essential amenities including small shops, cafés and local restaurants, along with a welcoming village atmosphere. The surrounding area is well suited to outdoor activities, with scenic walking routes, cycling trails and riverside spots that are particularly enjoyable during the warmer months. The landscape here is greener and more rugged than central Chianti, offering a refreshing change of pace and cooler summer evenings.
The villa is also well placed for exploring wider Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna by car. Historic towns such as Florence, Faenza and Bologna can be reached for rewarding day trips, combining cultural sights, food markets and historic centres. Closer to home, quiet roads wind through valleys and hilltop villages, perfect for leisurely drives and discovering lesser-known corners of the region. Villa Mugello’s location is ideal for guests who value nature, space and an authentic local setting over busy resort life.
