Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tucked away in the Mugello valley, this home sits on a country estate offering insight into rural Tuscany. Outdoor living is the top priority here, with a seasonal pool and green dining spots. Though there's lots of space for hosting big groups, this 18th-century villa has a traditional interior and no air conditioning which may be a dealbreaker for some. If you don't fancy staying in for a professional spa treatment, Florence is the must-do day trip. But Borgo San Lorenzo puts amenities close by.
