Nestled among the hills of Mugello and the slopes of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, Podere La Casella welcomes its guests in a charming old farmhouse, surrounded by cultivated fields and abundant nature. Its location, just a stone’s throw from Galliano di Mugello and close to Scarperia, Lake Bilancino, and the Mugello Circuit, offers a perfect blend of rural tranquility and opportunities for excursions, sports activities, and cultural visits.

Following a meticulous renovation completed in 2023, the property has successfully preserved the original atmosphere of a farmhouse, with spaces that reflect the agricultural lifestyle of the past. The complex, comprising the main house and a barn, retains distinctive architectural features such as the loggia, the porch, and communal areas once dedicated to farming, now transformed into inviting spots for relaxation and socializing. The expansive panoramic garden, olive grove, new infinity pool, and indoor spaces create a welcoming environment throughout the year.

The six bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, combine simplicity and comfort, featuring understated furnishings, views of the countryside, and modern amenities like Wi-Fi and TV. In the morning, a continental breakfast is served in the room overlooking the valley, offering a selection of fresh sweet and savory products. On special occasions, the farmhouse opens its home restaurant for themed lunches or dinners, hosted in the indoor space or outdoors, where guests can enjoy homemade dishes in a family-like atmosphere.

For nature enthusiasts, the surrounding area invites leisurely walks and horseback trekking through beech forests, chestnut groves, and breathtaking viewpoints, with trails suitable for both beginners and experienced riders. Its proximity to paths like the Via degli Dei and destinations such as Lake Bilancino, the historic villages of Mugello, as well as Florence and Bologna, makes Podere La Casella an ideal base for a stay that combines relaxation, exploration, and tradition.

Area Collina

The Podere La Casella is situated in one of the most picturesque areas of Mugello, nestled among gentle cultivated hills and the slopes of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, offering expansive views and complete tranquility. Located less than a kilometer from the village of Galliano di Mugello, this region combines the charm of the Tuscan countryside with the convenience of being close to historic towns, lakes, and hiking trails.

The area is rich in history and traditions: Scarperia, just a short drive away, is renowned for its centuries-old knife-making craft and its well-preserved medieval village, while Sant’Agata is home to Romanesque churches and authentic glimpses of the past. Nearby is Lake Bilancino, perfect for water sports, beach relaxation, or strolls along its shores. Enthusiasts of two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles can reach the Mugello Circuit in just a few minutes, which hosts international motorsport events.

Nature takes center stage here, with beech and chestnut forests, trails for trekking and mountain biking, and routes like the Via degli Dei, which connects Bologna to Florence and passes right through the area. In the warmer months, the higher elevations provide pleasant temperatures, while winter brings enchanting snowy landscapes.

From the estate, it is easy to access Florence, Prato, and Bologna, thanks to its proximity to the highway and local train stations, allowing for a delightful mix of rural tranquility and cultural outings or shopping. The variety of experiences, combined with the serenity of the countryside, makes this area an ideal destination for those seeking authenticity, beauty, and a direct connection to nature.
