Mugello & A Vast Valley Near Florence

Mugello countryside

Situated north of Florence the region of Mugello stretches in the upper Sieve valley. The region presents an extremely variegated landscape, in which high mountains covered with forests transform into gentle hills sloping then towards the plain along the Sieve river.

Not only does Mugello present a particularly suggestive landscape; the region is also rich in ancient "pievi" (parish churches), scattered in the whole valley - Vicchio, Palazzuolo sul Senio, Barberino di Mugello Scarperia, Marradi and Firenzuola -, and Medicean villas, such as Villa Demidoff in Pratolino, the Fortezza di San Martino, the Castello del Trebbio and the villa in Cafaggiolo.

During the summer the lake of Bilancino transforms into an appreciated lakeside resort and the valley comes to life thanks to numerous feasts and festivals: a great opportunity to seize and taste the traditional dishes of this part of Tuscany
