TUSCANY
The Mugello valley near Florence is the perfect place for a holiday in authentic Tuscany in pursuit of culture and art, beautiful countryside, and great food and wine. Mugello lies between hills and the Apennine mountains, and is characterised by vineyards and fruit farms. At its centre lies the Bilancino Lake.
Staying at the beautiful Villa Le Maschere Resort, we shall host you on a 4-night tour of wine tasting, cooking classes and of course sumptuous dining.
Full details available to view in March 2012. Many thanks for your patience.

A grand late Renaissance country house built in the 16th-century, Villa Le Maschere Resort has been adapted over the centuries to produce an outstandingly beautiful Tuscan villa that sits in a romantic park dotted with sequoia trees. There is also an Italian-styled garden, two swimming pools and a health and beauty centre.
Painstaking restoration has revealed beautiful stuccos and frescoes by the Francesco Furini school of painting. These art treasures occupy a number of Villa Le Maschere Resort’s bedrooms and suites together with majolica and sculptures.
Take the free shuttle bus into Florence for a day’s sightseeing or shopping. On your return, enjoy a refreshing dip in the pool and watch the sunset from a sun bed. For dinner, enjoy Fabio Danza’s innovative fusion cuisine in Villa Le Mashere’s Black Poplar Restaurant accompanied by a delicious Chianti wine.
