Villa Campestri Vicchio di Mugello

Hotel Villa Campestri occupies an enviable position on the hillside immediately surrounding Florence. The 13th century building, originally erected as fortified structure, complete with impressive watchtowers, was owned for nearly 700 years by the noble Florentine family Roti Michelozzi.

In 1430, the property was enlarged and converted in manor house. Italian renaissance architecture provided the inspiration for the extensive restyling carried out in the late 19th century. The ornate façade of the villa and the exquisite stained glass windows which adorn the chapel, a number of the guest rooms, and what is now the hotel restaurant were all added in the early 20th century.

Guest bedrooms and suites, situated in the villa and in the adjoining buildings which once served as farmhouse and dairy, are all exquisitely decorated with articles of antique furniture and further embellished with prints and paintings dating back to the 1800's. Each room enjoys charming views across the park.

Excellent Tuscan cuisine is served to guests dining in the hotel's L'Olivaia restaurant in rooms characterised by fabulous painted wooden ceilings, terracotta floors, and impressive stone window frames. From the swimming pool, fabulous views of the Mugello valley can be enjoyed.
