Villa Falco Reale 31 - World Wide Lux Estate

Villa Falco Reale 31
Mugello, Italy

A spectacular 15th century Medicean villa, situated among the rolling hills of Vicchio, in the Mugello
area.
It was built by the Florentine noble Bartoli family (which were closely associated with the Medici family).
Originally architected for territorial defensive purposes, the property has been transformed over the
centuries into an elegant yet imposing country residence, and was used primarily as a hunting lodge,
due to the particular conformation of the surrounding territory.
Over the centuries the villa became the property of various illustrious Tuscan nobles, the Baldocci, the
Papiani, the Spinelli and there are still some wonderful stone family stems to be seen on the facade of
the villa today
The property is located inside the surrounded wall and nestled in a wonderful, large park with century-
old trees, greenery and flowers, where you can stroll peacefully.
At a lower level of the park, close to the surrounded wall, there is a delightful, private swimming pool,
equipped with parasols, sunbeds and breakfast tables, perfect for sipping a good cold drink on summer
days. From the pool you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Mugello valley.
The villa also has a warning and defense military tower, and a beautiful terrace with a dining table for
32 people and a barbecue, ideal for pleasant alfresco meals.
Among the outdoor areas you will also find: a Carriage Museum and a vegetable garden (both freely
accessible to the guests); a lovely consecrated chapel; a romantic well (dating back to the 16th century);
an old kiln under restructuring (where the bricks were baked and used for the construction of the
external wall of the villa, which is majestic and imposing).
The villa is an ideal place to host every type of events (private functions, parties, business conferences,
etc.).
The property also includes highly productive agricultural land (about 27 hectars).

AREA

The nearest small village is Caselle (1 km – reachable also on foot), where you can find a small
restaurant, while in Vicchio (another village located just 4 km away from the property) there are any kind
of shops. Vicchio is also the birthplace to the great artists Giotto and Beato Angelico.
The Mugello area is characterized by a clever mix of nature and comfort to citizens, while ensuring easy
access to the A1 Milan-Naples highway, the proximity to Florence but also to historical centers including

Scarperia (one of Italy’s most beautiful towns with its Palazzo dei Vicari and the parish-churches in the
surrounding area dating back to periods between 1000 and 1200) and Dicomano (an old village that
originally was founded and inhabited by the Etruscans, in fact there are many buildings and artifacts
belonging to their time).
For sport lovers, we suggest a visit to the International Racing Circuit of Mugello (38 km) or to a well-
knowm 18 hole Golf Course (10 km). The Mugello is an excellent place for those who like to venture out
and walk off the beaten track. There are various well marked routes around the area
some which offer spectacular panoramic views of the valley.
Within half an hour drive you can get to Lake Bilancino where you can practice several water sports,
including canoeing, sailing and windsurfing.
For nature lovers, just 40 km away you will find the Monte Fanterona National Park for open air walks.
Lastly, if you love shopping, we recommend to go to the Barberino Designer Outlet (30 km) where you
can find the most important brands of international fashion.
