A second walking idea is located near Casa d’Erci. The historic nature trail at Casa d’Erci is an approximately 1.5-kilometre circular route and begins among the trees in front of the farmhouse. You can take it into account when planning your day as a route with a clear circular format and an approximate length. Its course adds a distinct character to the landscape.

The landscape in and around Grezzano includes several mountains and peaks. Monte Veruca and Monte Gazzaro, both mountains, are located in the area surrounding Grezzano. In the wider regional surroundings of Grezzano, there are also Poggio Mezzana, a peak, and Il Pratone, a mountain. If you would like to combine woodland and mountain scenery when choosing your holiday apartment, these regional connections provide a broader framework for planning.

Church, mill and rural history

The historical side of Grezzano can be seen at the Chiesa di Santo Stefano a Grezzano. It is a parish church documented as early as 1086. The church contains two medieval bells dating from 1283 and 1420. It also houses a monumental tabernacle made of polychrome glazed maiolica, attributed to Giovanni della Robbia.

The Mulino Faini also combines local history with traditional everyday culture. The Mulino Faini in Grezzano is a small museum of traditional milling in Mugello and is documented as existing as early as 1400. The museum is divided into six sections, each corresponding to a stage of the milling process. This focus suits a holiday apartment in Grezzano if, alongside nature trails, you would also like to include the history of milling in your stay.

Another point of interest is the Museo della Civiltà Contadina di Casa d’Erci. The museum is housed in a former farmhouse on the banks of the Erci stream within the Giogo-Casaglia regional agricultural and forestry complex. It combines its connection to a former farmhouse and the Erci stream with its location within the Giogo-Casaglia regional agricultural and forestry complex. This place can complement the rural side of your stay if nature and culture are jointly at the centre of your plans.
