Instagramming from Mugello: Our 3 Latest Favorites
It’s no doubt that one of the best ways to discover a place is through photography. We personally really enjoy the app instagram to see what people think about us (tagging #villacampestri), or better yet to see wonderful photos from all over Tuscany.
To join in on the photo sharing love, we wanted to blog about three photos from our Mugello area of Tuscany by instagrammers showing us ‘their Italy’. From dramatic skies to strange street food, there is so much to see and experience in this place we call home. Here are our latest top pics.
1. ‘On the Road’ With Luca and his Nikon. We loved this photo along the highway towards Barberino di Mugello, the shades of color and clouds really are representative of these January days in Tuscany.
2. Snow Day. It might look like a scene from Alaska or Northern Europe but the Mugello area of Tuscany tends to get a fair amount of snow in the winter. This photo was taken by Gianni.
3. Who Knew ‘Brains’ Were This Good? You might be a little disturbed at the thought of eating ‘cervello’ or ‘brains’ in English (cow or sheep) but it actually happens to be a local delicacy, think Tuscan street food. Trippadvisors is nostalgic for some that he enjoyed in Mugello.
As always we want to see your instagram, if you are photographing in Tuscany, add #villacampestri and we will take a look, and feature the best ones from time to time in our blog. Until then have a great weekend from the Villa Campestri family!

Anyone visiting Florence for the first time imagines a stay right in the historic center, surrounded by museums, piazzas, and narrow cobblestone streets.

Among the rolling hills of the Mugello, centuries‑old olive trees stand as living presences, deeply rooted in both time and landscape. Their twisted trunks, shaped by wind and sun, tell silent stories of rural life, patience, and renewal. In Tuscany, the olive tree embodies the quiet strength of nature: resilient, enduring, and generous. At Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort, […]
In Tuscany, some words taste like freshly pressed olive oil and warm bread; others echo bedtime stories whispered by grandparents. They’re simple expressions, but rich in meaning, full of identity, character, and that deep-rooted spirit of a land that doesn’t pretend to be anything other than what it is. During your stay at Villa Campestri […]
In the Mugello, wonder lives in the silence between the fields, broken only by the rustle of wind through the olive trees.
