Are you looking for a holiday villa in Tuscany immersed in nature and, at the same time, not too far from the many Florentine museums and monuments?

The right solution is the lease of a villa in Mugello

Already inhabited in Etruscan and Roman times, the Mugello is a verdant valley that stretches north-east of Florence bordering that part of the Apennine mountains that separates Tuscany from Emilia Romagna.

The main towns of the region are Firenzuola, Borgo San Lorenzo, Marradi, Scarperia, Vicchio and Barberino di Mugello.

Renting a villa in the part of Tuscany is synonym with vacations in the mountains and by lakes dedicated to sports and shopping.

• Adventurous mountain-bike rides and suggestive walks are not enough? During your holidays in Tuscany you can dedicate yourself to canoeing, windsurf, sailing and much more at Bilancino Lake;

• or you can do sports fishing in the other lakes dotting this part of Tuscany;

• all the year long you can discover the typical Mugello dishes at the many culinary feasts taking place in the region (in spring and summer you must absolutely taste the "tortelli" with potato filling, whereas in autumn and winter just try wild boar, roe deer and chestnut recipes);

• a holidays in Mugello will offer to ladies the occasion to visit one of the largest outlet shopping centres in Central Italy. Situated in Barberino di Mugello, it features over 100 designer brand shops selling clothes, shoes and accessories.

That is why a holiday house in Tuscany and in Mugello, means spending your holidays in the mountains and by lakes, doing sports and shopping.
