Vacation Rental Description

Villa di Collina is a historic villa in Tuscany, Italy, located near the village of Vicchio in the Mugello region, also known as “The Switzerland of Tuscany”. The villa rental is situated just 35 km north of Florence, in a dominant position with a magnificent view over the Tuscan countryside.

Villa di Collina is available as a vacation rental year round and provides accommodations for 14 guests. The villa consists of: large reception hall, living room, dining room, drawing room, spacious eat-in country kitchen, 7 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, as well as a 10.000 mq walled-in garden, a panoramic terrace with outstanding views and a swimming pool for the exclusive use of guests.

The villa was originally a medieval structure transformed in the 18th century. It has recently been totally restored while maintaining its charm and character.

Its location allows easy day trips to many popular destinations in Tuscany such as Florence (35 km), Arezzo and S. Gimignano (70 km) Siena (80 km), Pisa and Lucca (90 km). Rome is only 3 hours away, by motorway.
Most destinations can also be reached by train from the station of Vicchio through Florence.

About Tuscany Near Florence

The Villa is located in the Mugello area in north-estern Tuscany, also known as “the Switzerland of Tuscany“, because of the hilly wooded quality of the countryside, so different from that of Chianti or Maremma. There are endless possibilities for trekking, or just walking around; the roads going north to Firenzuola, Marradi or S. Godenzo will shortly take you to the slopes of the Appennini, the mountain range that separates Tuscany from Romagna.

The village of Vicchio (2,5 km from the villa), founded in the 14th century, is the birthplace of painters Giotto and Fra Angelico. In the Museo Comunale there are many interesting pieces dating from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. Several restaurants in and around Vicchio (da Giotto, l’Antica Porta di Levante, da Simonetta, La Casa del Prosciutto, Il Caldetino) offer sound, tasty Tuscan cooking at reasonable prices.

In Borgo S. Lorenzo (10 km from the villa) the old centre still retains its Medieval character; the main church, although restored, dates back to the 12th century. The village of Scarperia (15 km) has been famous for centuries for its cutlery shops, where knives and all sorts of blades are still made by hand. Today it is known for two nearby modern attractions; an excellent golf course and a car racing ground (Circuito del Mugello) where F1 trials are held.

Near S. Piero (13 km) you can see the fortress built by the Medici in the 16th century, and the castles of Cafaggiolo and Trebbio where Florence’s leading family came from.

The picturesque Designer Outlet near Barberino (20 km), with its 100 shops, is well worth a visit.
Keep an eye out for the mercato (itinerant market) which is to be found on fixed week days all year round in the neighbouring villages: Vicchio, Borgo S. Lorenzo, Dicomano.
