Il Castelluccio is an old medieval little castle, dating back to 1100. It is situated at the slopes of the fascinating and uncontaminated valley of Mugello, near the wonderful city of art Florence. The castle holds a hotel and is in a marvellous landscape, which stands out for its geographical position and its history: mountains, hills, green valleys, uncontaminated streams, pure air, unique atmospheres, colours, sounds, and sweet smells make this place really magic.
The building has been renovated carefully according to the original shape and is situated on the top of a rock that dominates the valley underneath. The wide valley is surrounded by many stone terracings that, together with the structure of the castle, revive memories of ancient times. The hotel is surrounded by a private park and fenced by oaks and cypresses, which alternate with many green areas. Here there is a nice swimming pool of irregular shape (7 meters by 12 meters), dug into the rock in front of the main tower entrance with Roman staircase, Jacuzzi and Solarium with beach set !
Il Castelluccio has a wide reception room with a living room and a fireplace, three dining rooms furnished in country style, according to the owners’ creative personal taste. It is the ideal place where you can spend magic and unforgettable moments and enjoy old Tuscan recipes and famous red wines of this fertile and friendly region.

Location ( Mugello Valley – Tuscany – Fiorentine hills ):
Il Castelluccio is situated in a strategic geographical position, because it is only 2 km from the motorway A1 15 minutes from Florence. Within one hour maximum you can visit Siena, San Gimignano, Montalcino, Lucca, Pisa, and other famous Tuscan towns.
We are at the start of "Mugello Valley" where born the " Sieve " river that runs to Florence to meet the "Arno" River ( Mugello e Val di Sieve , Nord from Chianti). The Tuscany region is renowned for producing wine and oil. This is Mugello Valley, with the corn-fields, the yellow sunflowers, the high cypresses, the foggy mornings, the singing birds, the scent of the weather, the ancient colours, and with the unreal landscapes.
There is a place where you do not need words to be understood, comparisons to feel you are just fine, strong sensations to thrill with excitement. That place is the Tuscan countryside, and you are its guest. You will discover, on a farm, a vacation you have never tried before, one that will put you at ease at once: the vacation is Farmtourism and it transports you to a world you feel yours at last.
Nowhere else is nature like this! You can take a walk to that ancient village and discover its art, go for a ride on horseback, stop a moment with astonishment in a solitary parish church, enjoy a meal full of gaiety and good things. You can do all of these things or do nothing at all and just relax. This is Farmtourism in Tuscany: wherever you are, you fell at home. All this is farmtourism in Tuscany : wherever you are, you feel at home.
There is more than one Tuscany. You already know a Tuscany famous for its cities of art, its history, its famous men and their works. But, do you know its landscape and the honest hospitality of the Tuscan people in for a holiday? The Tuscan countryside is a very special natural environment where the age-long, human presence has shaped the outlines of the hills.
Solitary farm houses, medieval villages, rows of vines, olive trees, cypresses: this is Tuscan country. And thanks to Farmtourism you can enjoy it on a different kind of holiday. You can walk down dusty white farm paths, ride a mountain bike alongside vineyards and olive orchards or explore marked trails on horseback and discover the many facets of this Region while trying out its local products: the famous D.O.C. wines, the olive-oil, the meats, the cheeses....
With Farmtourism in Tuscany, you can take cooking lessons, pick up the basics of ceramics in an old kiln, visit the cellars along "The wine route of Tuscany", discover Tuscan handicrafts, listen to a concert in an ancient parish church.....
With Farmtourism in Tuscany you will experience the emotions that come from a countryside and landscape unique in the world.
