Spring is a special time at Villa Campestri olive oil resort, while in March we opened our doors the 2014 season, we also enjoyed many days of soft sunshine and great weather. Now that April is ending and May is beginning, spring is in full bloom in our gardens and there is no better time to go on a nature walk around our property and in the Mugello Valley.
We decided that this week needed to be dedicated to our new spring menu using fresh ingredients from our Tuscany farm in the Mugello valley, which our chef Andrea has been tirelessly working on to the delight of our guests {and our family}.
From freshly baked Tuscany bread to that perfect homemade pasta and of course, we didn’t forget about dessert.
Traveling to Tuscany almost always involves several gastronomic adventures as it very well should. Whatever the reason for making the Mugello valley your ‘home away from home‘ as a vacation destination, of course wonderful cuisine should be top on your list. The famous potato tortelli with homemade ragu and much more. Since we are food obsessed here at Villa Campestri olive oil resort, we wanted to share our top spots for a nice meal.
