Mugello bed and breakfast - Bed & Breakfasts in Mugello, Italy

MUGELLO: A STOREHOUSE OF TUSCAN HISTORY & CULTURE
Even someone fairly unfamiliar with Italy and Tuscany will know all about the Mugello circuit. You know, the Autodromo Internazionale di Mugello, where they host the annual motorcycle racing Grand Prix. And Formula One (mainly Scuderia Ferrari) also uses the track, for test-driving. However, we would also like you to know a little about the Mugello region, located just a few km from Florence, nestled among rolling hills, with mountain peaks and passes towering over it.

In ancient times the Mugello was on the border between the area occupied by the Ligurians (the Magelli tribe, hence the name), the Etruscans and the Gauls. Even after Roman colonization, the Mugello remained mostly an agricultural area. Home to several Middle Age castles, the region later came under the Republic of Florence, upon which several important families built patrician villas in the neighbourhood, like the Medici in Cafaggiolo and the Trebbio. More recently, the Mugello has seen the creation of the artificial Lake Bilancino on the Sieve.

Today, Mugello is famous for its delightful countryside, beautiful villages, friendly and hard-working people, healthy food, Medici palaces, vineyards, museums, and historical villas. At present, there are nine districts in the Mugello: Barberino del Mugello, Borgo San Lorenzo, Firenzuola, Marradi, Palazzuolo sul Senio, San Piero a Sieve, Scarperia, Vaglia, and Vicchio.

Accommodation in the Mugello region is easy to find and we offer you a comprehensive online reservation service that will directly link you with excellent hotels, bed and breakfasts and rental farmhouses in the Mugello. We also have details on each property so you have no problems selecting the accommodation you want.

Once you arrive in the Mugello, we can guarantee that you will forget all about the bothers of city life and simply bask in the beautiful, clean, green, surroundings. Let the medieval magic wash over you as you relax in cool farmhouses, restored in impeccable style, in hamlets previously abandoned and now enjoying a new lease of life, and in villas and palaces where noble Florentine families once lived.

The Mugello countryside is splendid in all seasons. The old farmhouses invite you share in the daily activities of a farm – which is what the concept of agritourism is all about – and you can also indulge in other recreational activities like archery, trekking, riding, mountain biking, swimming, and cooking. There’s also the prospect of golf on some very picturesque greens. Near Scarperia, for instance, is the Poggio dei Medici Golf and Country Club built in 1995 according to USGA standards. The course is considered one of the most beautiful and striking in Italy and offers 18 holes, with a putting green and large practise area.

So you see, the Mugello is not just about the Moto GP. Consult our list, book your Mugello accommodation, make a trip, and you will see what we mean.
