A Tuscan retreat to tantalize all the senses

Monday, 28 Apr, 2008 0

Set amongst acres of vineyards, olive groves and Tuscan forests yet only a short Piaggio ride from Florence’s bustling piazza’s lies the serene 16th Century Villa Mangiacane, a 26 room blissful boutique bolthole with the ambience and comfort of an informal private home. 

A mix of elegance and charm, Villa Mangiacane offers the best of Tuscany and is a feast for all the senses.  Indulge in the taste of oil pressed from the olives of nearby trees and authentic regional recipes accompanied by a glass of the hotel’s very own vintage.  Marvel at frescoes from the Renaissance and be enchanted by the villa’s breathtaking views. 

With nothing to hear but birdsong and the occasional splash of water from one of the hotel’s three swimming pools. Enjoy holistic relaxation at the Nadushka spa and wellness area where the smell of fragrant plants and herbs from the Chianti countryside will work their magic. 

For those with more than relaxation in mind, Villa Mangiacane can arrange a number of ways to explore the region, from helicopter wine tours and hot air balloon rides at dawn to hiking through hill-top towns and gentle bike rides to forgotten castles.  In-house art exhibitions are the perfect way to while away the afternoon whilst cooking lessons in the Olive Oil kitchen will allow you to take a taste of Villa Mangiacane back home.
