Monsignor della Casa Country Resort
Via di Mucciano, 16
50032 Borgo San Lorenzo

(Only 16 miles from Florence)

The Monsignor Della Casa Country Resort is located in Tuscany, in the heart of the Mugello district, home of the Medici, of writers and famous artists such as Giotto, Cimabue and Fra Angelico. It is situated in the midst of the estate where Giovanni della Casa was born in 1503 - he rose to fame as Vatican Secretary of State under Pope Paul IV, and as the author of "GALATEO", one of the world's greatest books on etiquette. Translated into several languages the "GALATEO" became the undisputed reference standard for the ladies-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth I of England.

Our country resort in Florence, is only 17 miles north east from the town , the estate extends over two hundred hectares that create an extraordinary living fresco setting for the country resort that is situated next to the sixteenth century villa of Monsignor Della Casa, and its huge gardens. The apartments are located in a small, charming hamlet, that is totally fenced in to guarantee peace and quiet and are arranged on two floors assuring comfort and functionality. The large, bright rooms are furnished in the most authentic Tuscan style to recreate a cozy and relaxing atmosphere.

Follow the path into the woods to come upon another beautiful panorama; take one of the mountain bikes that are available for our guests and pedal up a hill; ride a horse among the hills, amidst towers and artisan workshops and perhaps buy some local wares. Refresh yourself in the pool; improvise a tennis tournament with other guests, or play a few rounds of golf with friends on the nearby course. Then, in the evening, relax in the whirlpool bath before gathering around the barbecue for dinner.
