The municipality of Barberino di Mugello, overlooking Lake Bilancino, is located in a strategic position between Florence and Bologna.
Located in the heart of Mugello, halfway between Florence and Bologna, Barberino di Mugello owes its charm to the meeting of history, landscape, and outdoor life. The oldest part of the village developed in the Middle Ages, and over time the town took on an important role as a place of passage and exchange along the routes connecting the Arno plain with the Po Valley.
Among the most representative places in the area are the Villa Medicea di Cafaggiolo, a residence linked to the history of the Medici and included in the UNESCO site of the Medici Villas and Gardens in Tuscany, and Lake Bilancino, now a reference point for those seeking sports, relaxation, and nature.
The area is also crossed by routes ideal for trekking, mountain biking, and outdoor activities, among scenic roads, cycling paths, and landscapes that fully reflect the most authentic identity of Mugello.
