Villa La Dogana. Elegant castle in Barberino, Florence

Villa La Dogana, our family’s country home, is a charming little castle built in the 19th century on the border of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. The villa comfortably accommodates 22+4 guests, with 10 spacious double bedrooms (two of which feature two queen-size beds each) plus an additional bedroom in the tower with a queen-size bed. There are 7 bathrooms, plus 1 separate toilet. The kitchen is fully equipped with double ovens, dishwashers, refrigerators, and more.

Guests will have exclusive access to the swimming pool (approx. 8x17 meters), complete with sunbeds and a shaded pergola. The villa overlooks a large lawn and a valley that gently slopes towards Lake Bilancino in the distance.

A 6-meter table under a gazebo on the main lawn is perfect for enjoying meals together al fresco. Next to the lawn, you'll find a large circular stone BBQ. The garden and pool are lit in the evening, creating a beautiful atmosphere.
For outdoor activities, we offer lawn games such as volleyball, football, cricket, and table tennis, with plans for more.

With advance notice, we can arrange home-cooked meals in traditional Tuscan style for your arrival day or anytime during your stay, whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Housekeeping assistance is also available upon request.

Villa La Dogana is located near Barberino di Mugello, where you’ll find all the amenities you need, including supermarkets and a large designer outlet featuring famous brands. The villa is less than an hour from Florence, accessible via highway or scenic country roads, and it’s also conveniently located near the Florence and Bologna airports.
