The Landscape of Mugello



The Mugello landscape with its thick chestnut and oak woods, the gentle hills and the wide valleys represents all the typical gentleness of the Tuscan countryside. Protected by the mountain belt of the Apennines that decrease in height till it turns into hills, the Mugello landscape is extremely eterogeneous and driving across it is like travelling across the whole Tuscany. The plains that extend along the Sieve river are the most popolated areas, but along your tour you can stop by in the small villages to admire the architecture of the most isolated Mugello farmhouses , since ever integral part of the landscape.

Either you have rented a villa in Mugello or a villa nearby Florence, a visit to these places will make you saviour the pleasure of peace and tranquillity found again, exactly those that the very Florentines are looking for at week-ends running away from the city. Drive then along the ancient roads of the Appennines stopping in some typical trattoria and taste some of the local products like mushrooms, chestnuts and cheeses.

Are you fond of nature? The Mugello landscape will surely enchant you and if you want to fully experience it, explore it on foot, by bike or riding a horse: as you pass by you’ll see the always new and wonderful spectacle of olive groves, cornfields, woods of beeches and chestnuts in the Alto Mugello.

Spending your holidays in these places on an agritourosm but especially in a villa or in one of the characterisic farmhouses will plunge you intoforgotten atmospheres and will make you discover flavours that you thought were lost.
