Villa Le Maschere ★★★★★
Languidly set in the beautiful Mugello Valley, guests at Villa le Maschere often opt for total relaxation and never leave the property. Its pools, trails through the park and gardens, and spa services are captivating. The chef conducts cooking classes in the afternoons, and the restaurants are excellent, so no need to go afar. The carefully restored rooms that once accommodated popes, noblemen and artists are splendidly designed and most comfortable. Activities abound close by for those who like to golf, canoe, wind surf, hike, shop for designer fashions, tour medieval towns or attend olive oil and wine tastings. But staying“ right at home” here is a real pleasure.
