Mugello and the Chestnut Plantation
Departure with driver to Marradi for full-day
Two-hour walking tour through the Chestnut Plantation and lunch in the Horse Riding House
Visit of the village

Following your arrival at the riding house, you will meet your special guide for an interesting tour through the famous Chestnut Plantation.

You will then return to the riding house for a delicious traditional meal, home-cooked by the owner's grandmother.

Your tour will conclude with a visit of the curious Saddle Museum. Before you return, there will be a stop in the center in the historical bar, "Il Bar Bianco." Here in the heart of the village, in a palace rich of frescos and works of the 17th century, you can taste a specialty dessert by Alvaro Lombardi: a marroni ice cream, the castagnaccio, fried tortellini of marroni, crêpes with chestnuts and ricotta cheese, or the superb marrons glacés.

If your tour is in October, you can enjoy the delicious fruit harvest of the Chestnut Plantation.

All of our day trips are available as individual trips, which can be enjoyed on their own or as an addition to one of our sample itineraries. All you have to do is talk with one of our tour staff: Call 1-800-848-8163
