Activities at Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort: An invitation to relax!

At Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort, in the heart of the Mugello, we invite you and your entire family to live the total experience, from the wonderful natural surroundings to the best traditional food and the discovery of our cultural heritage, and above all, an invitation to complete relaxation.

 “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”  (Mae West)

For every one of our guests to enjoy a sojourn of total relaxation, a revitalization of mind and body: that’s the aim of Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort.

We’ve stolen the famous quote of the grand Mae West because it represents so well our philosophy. Live well enough to have no regrets and enjoy in full what life and nature have to offer. That’s what we aim to do every day at Villa Campestri, the Mugello resort for families and couples who want to re-discover their bond with tradition, with old values and the generosity of the past.

We’ll pamper you in our finely restored rooms, which you can find in detail on our Facebook page. We’ll indulge your every taste in our restaurant L’Olivaia, where we’ve got a new brilliant chef, the well-known Luigi Incrocci; we’ll do the same at all our events dedicated to traditions, such as AmorOlio (learn about our next scheduled week) and with olive oil tasting courses that will teach how to appreciate the best oils. Above all, experience with us all those luxurious moments of absolute well-being. In addition to our SPO (Salus pro Oleum) we’d like to tell you about the yoga lessons in the lovely Villa Campestri park with Elena, our expert for your well-being.  We’ve chosen a photograph for the cover of this post that eloquently illustrates the total indulgence in relaxing amidst the natural Mugello surroundings under the brilliance of the sun, or in the soft light of sunset.

To carve out some time for yourself is not only beautiful, but can be necessary to live a better life with others, and above all, with yourself, to experience the best of every day, revitalized in every way, by an unforgettable vacation.
