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.

Exciting Stay at IL Castelluccio
Guest: Don and Phyllis
(Katy (Houston), Texas)
Date of Stay: 06/26/10
Review Submitted: 07/20/10
Our first impression, as we drove up a winding gravel road towards the "castle" was excitement and a sense of adventure. When we reach the top and saw Il Casteluccio the view was way beyond our expectations. The photos we had seen on the Internet, prior to our arrival, do not do the location and physical appearance justice. It was idyllic! Even a flock of sheep in a nearby meadow added to the storybook picture we experienced. The castle is positioned in such a way, atop the side of a mountain, that the panoramic view of the Tuscan countryside is breaktaking. Emanuele and Veronica, the young owners, are to be congratulated on the painstaking care they took to restore the castle over a five year period. It is obvious they poured their heart and soul into focusing on every detail that would enhance the joy of their guests staying there. They are a hands-on couple that work vey hard to ensure they guests are comfortable. During our stay we observed that Emanuele and Veronica are in perfect harmony in their working relationship and are perfectionists when it comes to amenities of the rooms, fine selection of wine, quality of the food and presentation of each special dish they prepared for the meals. During our four-day stay we ate most of our meals there, with a choice of indoor dining or outside on the terrace with a view of the beautiful pool and the countryside. To dine elsewhere, during the time we stayed there would have been a step down. If you like adventure, unique locations, outstanding room amenties, exquisite dining, outstanding service, and experience the pride exhibited by the owners, Emanuele and Veronica, you will thoroughly enjoy staying at Il Casteluccio. You will meet some very interesting people from all over the world. Once you stay there, we believe, like us, you will want to return on your future trip(s) to the Tuscany region. We highly recommend you book reservations at II Casteluccio as early as possible. Warmest regards to Emanuele and Veronica, a most delightful couple!
Owner response:Dear Don & Phyllis we were surprised by the generosity and affection with which you have done your review. Thank you so much because you have done us a huge gift that rewards our work and gives us new enthusiasm. Your presence always polite, pleasant and harmonious will hardly be forgotten by us and all the staff and we hope to see you again very soon here in our home. Will always be a great joy and great satisfaction to have you with us. Thank you again so much and we look forward to hearing from you. With love, Emanuele, Veronica, little Gabrio and all the Staff

Le Paradis. Un endroit magnifique pour une lune de miel avec notre bébé de 9 mois, des propirétaires charmants qui répondent à toutes vos requetes, une cuisine toscane excellente grâce à la patronne qui cuisine avec beaucoup de finesse, un patron très gentil qui parlent plusieurs langues ça aide. Un couple très sympathique qui travaille avec leurs coeurs et qui savent satisfaire aux mieux les désirs des personnes. Ils m'ont rendu la vie facile grâce à un micro ondes dans la chambre pour notre bébé et la possibilit de stocker la nourriture entammée dans leur frigo. Un séjour inoubliable dans un cadre magnifique la bastide a été restaurée avec beaucoup de gout. Un couple qui mérite de travailler et qui sont adorables l'un comme l'autre. Un magnifique souvenir

Me and my wife and my 16 months old daughter stayrd at il'castellucio for 4 days. Wer were staying in the room called Dante. It is a luxurius stay, with a jacuzzi and LCD TV for a very reseonable price. We had a half board, with great Tuscany menu and excelent service. During the stay we visited Firenze, Siena, San Gimigniano... All in range of 1hr drive from the villa. We very enjoyed the stay and woul recommend it to all who want a great relaxing and almost luxurious holliday in the heart of Tuscany.
