Agriturismo
Sanvitale in Mugello is part of the Podere Macerata estate at 380
metres above sea level. Surrounded by meadows, fields, woods of chestnut
and oak trees in a cool, quiet little valley at the foot of the Apennine
mountains, it offers 16 beds in 8 rooms (7 double and 1 single bedrooms)
and one holiday apartment.
The farm buildings comprise the manor house and an adjoining stone
barn, recently restored and converted to guest accommodation using
natural building material such as wood, terracotta tiles and the local
grey sandstone.
The bedrooms all have private bathrooms and central heating. In order
to ensure guests with a healthy sleep, we have chosen for you top
quality slatted beds and latex foam mattresses.
The sense of escape begins the moment you leave the busy roads and
tourist trails behind. Weave your way through restful landscapes and
quiet lanes to pull up at the farm, with a personal welcome from your
hosts. Agriturismo Sanvitale is perfectly placed for short breaks
or family holidays, tucked away off the beaten track but still within
easy reach of key routes and popular holiday attractions. Our property
provides your passport to the peace and relaxation of the Tuscan countryside,
staying on a rural working farm with a friendly farming family as
your hosts.
