situated outside Barberino di Mugello near
Florence. Placed on a slope of a hill with
an enchanting panoramic view, on one side over the
valley of the Bilancino Lake, on the other side over
the countryside with woods in the background.

restoration that has maintained unchanged the fascination
of an antique farmhouse that however, is equipped
at the same time with all mods and cons as well the
funcitionalities of a modern accommodation.
In
the upper part of the building, thanks to the position
in the hill, is also ground floor. There are
5
charming appartament-lofts available, all
tastefully furnished and with huge windows that offer
beautiful sights.
Underneath the apartments, the restaurant that,
during the winter months is heated by a huge fireplace,
with typical dishes of the area around the Mugello
and Prato, that are prepared by the owners. Here,
pasta, cakes and the famous cantuccini are still homemade.
Everything will be accompanied by a very good selection
of Tuscan wines.

snacks on the terrace, enjoying a regenerating
panoramic view.

lake. Around the pool, a pleasant solarium made of
teak, equipped during the summer time with sun beds

farm that produces different types of honey,
such as in the spring time acacia honey, in the summer
time flower honey and in autumn chestnut honey. A
very particular honey that is not always available
is the "ciliegiolo" (cherry honey)
with the parfume of fresh cherries and a very soft,
sweet taste. All products can be purchased on the
spots and are also used in the delicious recipes of
"Rimaggiori".

Mugello is worldwide known for the motor racing
circuit, but in respect to other areas in Tuscany,
