The 14th edition of Gastronomika in San Sebastian, the international congress of food and wine that features and displays the best of Spain and the international community, has just ended.  This year, our Paolo Pasquini, brought his innovative creation OliveToLive to the famous festival.

It’s happening at Villa Campestri. In the past few days the crew of the La7 television program, I’ll Take You There (Ti ci porto io), with Gianfranco Vissani and Michela Rocco, arrived at Villa Campestri to film our story: the wonders of our Resort and our major activity, the story of our olive oil, of course.

Villa Campestri is a wonderfully photogenic place. You can see new photos on our Facebook page every day that show its beauty and attractions. But it takes a visit for you to capture its heart and spirit.

It’s an exciting, even emotional moment. Those who have already experienced it can tell you. The touch of nature is so very important to all of us at Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort that we are offering our guests a special experience. You’ll not only find the perfect inn in the heart of the Mugello for families and their occasions, perfectly pet friendly, but you can add an unforgettable moment to take part in the very soul of Campestri: planting an olive.

Bicycling through the hills of the Mugello from the Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort is an intense way to feel the beauties of the area. Before the sun begins to softly set, when the evening air is at its freshest and a light wind wafts over the hills of the Mugello, it’s the perfect moment to begin a bicycle outing, viewing the sun’s setting from all the angles of the road.

An article of great reporter and journalist Mort Rosemblum on Herald Tribune, the International edition of New York Times, talks about Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort, Paolo Pasquali and power of olive oil culture. Here the full text!

Summer in Tuscany means an abundance of  “sagras,” local festivals celebrating traditional dishes that take place throughout July and August in towns of the entire region.

We’ve already sold out our October week of AmorOlio at Villa Campestri. But we’re making another week in November and there are still places available. So hurry to book for this gastronomic and emotional travel experience you’ll not soon forget!
