Negroni Gardens

Holiday Rental Description

Racing fans might know Mugello for its circuit, but away from the petrol and screeching tyres, the Mugello countryside is a truly serene Tuscan gem. Just a twenty-five-minute drive from this famous track, and an hour from Florence, this rustic villa is a charming escape to rural life. Set on sloped, landscaped gardens with leafy trees, trailing foliage, and bright Mediterranean flowers, its traditional airs give way to some playful features. Keep the kids entertained with football on the five-a-side pitch in the garden, or head inside via the basement for foosball and a vintage pinball machine (‘big kids’ also welcome). Some might prefer a swim in the private pool, or sipping a negroni on one of the multiple patios, the choice is yours. You’ll also have plenty of choice for indoor relaxation, with three living rooms – one for every floor – and a delightful terrace upstairs where you can sip your espresso every morning. After a day exploring the rolling hills of Tuscany in the hot sun, we can’t think of anything better than coming home to a chilled glass of prosecco in this rural manor.

Home truths:
*You can park up to five cars in the driveway (and we recommend a car for this rural area)
*The single bedroom and the twin bedroom share a bathroom
*You might find the kitchen is quite basic in terms of its decor and appliances, but perfectly functional
*You'll have access to a five-a-side football field surrounded by a park
*While plenty of facilities are included in your stay, haircare products are not provided by your host
*The pool is 1.4 metres deep, so be careful if you have little ones staying
*As there is an upper and a basement floor, you'll need to be able to climb stairs to get around the home
