Villa Mugnana by MMega

External Description

Villa Mugnana is located just 12 miles from the center of Florence, and from the moment you pass through the iron gates you will feel as though you have entered another world as time stands still. Nestled in the verdant hills of pristine Chianti landscape lies Villa Mugnana, a 16th Century Casa Colonica.
Many centuries ago, it was a farmhouse and guard tower for the nearby Castello Mugnana. Magnificently restored, the owners paid exquisite attention to every detail. There are 3 separate terraces with tables and seating, each with a more gorgeous view than the next. The BOSE Entertainment system provides music to the pool and patio areas.
The tumbled marble saltwater pool (5x12 meters, depth 2.4 meters) and has an electric cover. The pool area has lots of lounge chairs for reading or sunbathing and there are vistas that overlook two nearby castles. There is an organic garden for the use of our guests adjacent to the wood fired pizza oven and barbeque where you can dine alfresco under the beautiful vine covered pergola.
There are miles and miles of hiking trails right outside the door and a Roman road which dates back over 2000 years. You can find waterfalls and a swimming hole within a 15 minute hike from the house.
