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!

The Mugello is a majestic, beautiful part of Tuscany, sitting in the hills above noble Florence where the Renaissance was born. Well known as it is for its nature and food, you’ll find here also the birthplace of some of the great artists of that period. Giotto and Cimabue, two of the greats, both lived in Vicchio, home to our Villa Campestri Olive Oil resort. Beato Angelico was also born in this magical area. Below we give a taste of this artistic heritage and atmosphere, and we’ll also tell you about the art classes we offer at Villa Campestri, through which we hope to lend a touch to the true spirit of the Mugello.
