Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort  

Perched 35 km north of Florence on a hilltop above Vicchio, this 13th-century Renaissance estate overlooks the Mugello valley and the Chianti Rufina hills. The resort is about 4 km from Vicchio town centre and makes a scenic base for exploring Florence and nearby attractions.

A lovingly restored Renaissance villa set among secular olive trees, the property preserves original materials and period furnishings. Twenty-six individually decorated rooms sit across the main villa, an adjacent farmhouse and a former dairy; many offer valley views, 19th-century fittings, minibars, LCD TVs, private baths and optional in-room massages.

Soak in the seasonal outdoor pool with sweeping valley views or drift into the spa for Ayurvedic treatments using the estate’s extra-virgin olive oil. Hands-on extras include olive oil tastings at the Oleoteca, Tuscan cookery classes, yoga, planting your own olive tree, kids’ playrooms and babysitting — genuine family-friendly perks. The hotel also offers free Wi‑Fi, on-site parking, concierge-run tours and accessibility features like an elevator.

A conference hall and meeting/presentation facilities are available, supported by complimentary wireless internet and free self-parking for delegates.

L'Olivaia restaurant serves traditional Tuscan cuisine and a dedicated Olive Oil Menu from a stylish dining room and a panoramic terrace, with alfresco options and garden views. A complimentary buffet breakfast is included and limited room service is available.
