Our staff has chosen the best villas in Tuscany for vacation rentals. On this page, we offer our
villas in Firenzuola in Mugello.
Firenzuola is located about 75 km from Florence and its name means `small Florence`. In fact, they were the Florentines who in 1332 fortified the town to defend their territory. Today you can still see the
Rocca di Firenzuola , the medieval gates and some remains of the medieval walls.
In the main square in Firenzuola we find the
San Giovanni Battista Church, completely rebuilt after the bombings of World War II by the skilled minds of architects Detti and Scarpa.
Nestled in the woods, we find the
San Pietro a Moscheta Church from the year 1000 and now
`Museum of the historical landscape of the Apennines`.
Firenzuola is also known for the manufacturing of stone and to this material the town dedicates a museum: the
`Museo della Pietra serena (Museum of Stone)` and a fair in October `Dal Bosco e dalla Pietra. Mostra mercato dei marroni e dell`artigianato` (From the Woods and Stone. Chestnut and Handicraft Trade Fair).
The typical products of this land will delight the palates of its visitors. The porcini mushroom and mushroom blackthorn are the protagonists of Mushroom Festival in Firenzuola at the end of May in the center of Firenzuola.
The attention to the high quality of food is evidenced by the efforts of local producers and sellers: get organic white and yellow potatoes, chestnuts, barley while the butchers have formed a consortium to sell the famous beef of Mugello.
Great ingredients will make the dinners of your vacation in one of our villas in Firenzuola in Mugello an unforgettable moment of healthy eating and entertainment.
