Happy Holidays from Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort!

In a blink of an eye, Christmas week is almost already over and we are embarking on a new year. We have high hopes for 2015, currently we are updating Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort to keep everything as fresh as possible to give our guests the best, most unique Tuscan experience. 

In the wake of leftover panettone and a revived excitement for the new year, we are gearing up for what will surely be the best year ever. The Mugello Valley has so much to offer, from excellent cuisine in our in-house restaurant – our chef playing with a variety of flavors, using local traditions as a base, plus plenty of activities for families, and close proximity to Florence, Siena and other major Italian cities.

Villa Campestri is the sort of Resort that people come back to, year after year. We are proud to have so many loyal customers on a first-name basis that look to us as a second home. They share their photos on twitter & instagram using the hashtag #villacampestri and we encourage to look us up and see in real-time a little bit of Tuscany.

Those seeking a hideaway in the Tuscan hills should certainly check out our 2015 special offers. Check out some of our 2013/2014 highlights in our slideshow below to see what it is about our resort in the Mugello Valley that is so special. Our family is looking forward to welcoming you with Italian hospitality in 2015!
