Your photos on Instagram!

We have decided to embrace technology and especially Instagram to show the world what’s going on daily in the heart of the Mugello Valley, at Villa Campestri olive oil resort. 

We have always said that we have the best guests, and just by browsing the hashtag #villacampestri we can are able to get a little peek into the average eye of our guests. This week we want to pick three photos from instagram that users have posted about Villa Campestri, we encourage you to follow them and (us here) if you enjoy photos of Tuscany, food, nature and just basically anything that makes you smile.
