Villa Campestri is located 35 km North from Florence. It is a splendid renaissance house in a particularly beautiful position, set on a hillside at 450 metres above sea level and facing across the Mugello valley and the Chianti Rufina area. The Villa is surrounded by lawns, ancient olive trees and shady oak and chestnut woods. "L'Olivaia" Restaurant offers specialities of Tuscan cuisine accompanied by the finest local and Italian wines. In the cellars of the Villa the first ?Oleoteca? in Italy has been created, where we organize extra-virgin oil tasting courses with tours of the oil press for those interested in learning about the oil production process.The first records of the Villa date from the 13th century. At that time the nucleus of the Villa was a small defensive fortress protected by watchtowers, the remains of which can still be seen today. An important architectural intervention, which gave the building its present appearance as a renaissance Villa, took place in the late 17th century.The noble Florentine Roti Michelozzi family held ownership of the Villa and the surrounding lands for nearly 700 years until 1989, when they sold the entire Campestri property to the present owner, Paolo Pasquali. The restoration work undertaken by its new owner has kept its charm intact. Key architectural and structural features have been maintained, and the Villa has been painstakingly restored to its former glory using original materials such as antique terracotta floor tiles, original plaster, polychromatic caissoned wooden ceilings and old carved oak beams.
