In an extremely scenic location with a view of Lake Bilancino and the green forests of the Mugello district, this old manor house has been renovated with special care, both inside and outside with its pale pink tones and stonework. The apartments are named after some of the wild animals which live in the surrounding countryside: Civetta (owl), Rondine (swallow), Scoiattolo (squirrel), Capriolo (roe deer) and Leprotto (hare). They are spread between the ground floor and the first floor, all designed in loft style, with wooden ceiling beams and terracotta floor tiles, elegantly and meticulously furnished. In the beautiful dining room the cheerful and friendly owners welcome their guests and prepare some typical local specialties: delicious pasta fritters, cakes, Prato biscuits are only some of the culinary delights. The swimming pool (16 x 6 m. - open MayOct.) is beautifully positioned on a natural hill terrace in front of the house.
