This farmhouse is tucked away in the Mugello valley, on a working farm just outside Borgo San Lorenzo. The garden is where it's at — there’s a pool for cooling off, and a patio that’s perfect for dining under the Tuscan sky. Inside, there's plenty of traditional charm with wooden beams and tiled floors, plus a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom for guests who prefer fewer stairs. Some areas feel a bit dated, and there’s only a small sofa, but the outdoor space is ideal for relaxing. You can even book a private chef or go on a farm tour. You’ll need a car, but restaurants are close by and Florence is only an hour’s drive.

About Mugello
Mugello might not be one of the better-known regions of Tuscany, but fans of motorsports might be familiar with it from the Formula One race track that borrows its name. However, it’s fair to say that this isn’t a fair representation of the area. Throughout most of the green valley, it’s not the cacophony of snarling engines that you’ll be hearing, but rather the tranquillity of nature. Sitting just underneath...
