Photos and Description of this homestay house
Secluded location, 14 people, 6 bedrooms, by swimming area, large studio

The converted Sarazenen tower stands alone above the Mugello Valley on a large country estate (about 560m²) - it was built in 1100. The property is about 2 ha. The Mugello Valley is known as one of the most beautiful valleys in Italy. It is a secret tip, because it is not overfilled with tourists. The house is the summer residence of the sculptor Ralf Kuntze - who restored it 2 years ago and gave it a charming, artistic design. The tower room serves as a studio and can be used. The house is ideal for groups, but you can also have 4 or 8 people. More sleeping accommodations are possible. 3 km away in the city of Vicchio you will find shopping facilities, restaurants and a swimming pool, as well as a train station with a connection to Florence. Swimming possibilities on the beach of the large Lake Bilanciono (15 minutes).

The Vivaio Country Estate: Vivaio is located in a former tower secluded on a mountain above the Mugello Valley. Absolute tranquility and an amazing view will relax your soul. During the centuries, the tower has developed into a country house with almost 600m² of surface area. Therefore, the rooms are spacious and ample. There is a lot of space.

The location: A 20,000 m² field with olives belongs to the house. The field has not been worked on for about 50 years, so it is very natural and there are a lot of herbs. There are no fences, which lets you go on long walks. Vivaio is located about 4km from the city of Vicchio - here you will find shopping facilities. At the foot of the house mountain, you will find a small river where you can refresh yourself during the summer.

The environment and care: Due to the convenient location, a lot of regions in middle and North Italy can be easily reached with a train or car. The train station in Vicchio is 5 minutes away. Florence is 29km away.You can have a beautiful ride through Tuscany with a train.

About 15 minutes away are two swimming lakes and a swimming pool in Vicchio. The manager of the house speaks German, Italian and English. She likes to help the guests and is available for advice and help.
