Fattoria I Ricci

Your Tuscan retreat surrounded by nature

If you want to experience the most authentic side of Tuscany — lush landscapes, tradition, and genuine flavours — Fattoria I Ricci in Vicchio, in the Mugello area near Florence, is an unmissable stop. Just a few kilometers from the city, this historic estate with its 17th-century villa offers an immersive stay in nature, far from the urban chaos and wrapped in the region’s characteristic rolling hills.

The property offers various accommodation options to suit every traveler’s taste:

• Apartments and rooms furnished with original Tuscan-style furniture, part of the beautifully restored old farmhouse
• An independent villa with kitchen and private bathrooms — perfect for families or groups seeking privacy and comfort
• A wooden standalone cottage, known as “La Casina,” set in total greenery and ideal for a romantic, secluded getaway

One of the estate’s most impressive features is its vast park: 4,000 m² of green space dotted with centuries-old trees, olive groves, and vineyards. At its centre lies a panoramic stone pool (12 × 6 m), surrounded by wrought-iron loungers and a stunning view of the Mugello countryside.

For moments of pure well-being, there is also a spa housed in the old olive mill: whirlpool tub, sauna, Turkish bath with chromotherapy, aromatic sensory shower, massage area, and relaxation lounge. A perfect treat after a day of excursions or sightseeing.

Guests can enjoy al fresco meals using the tables and barbecue in the park and gardens. For those who love to stay active, bicycles and a ping-pong table are available.

Fattoria I Ricci is not just a place to relax: it’s a complete experience made of nature, history, hospitality, and authentic flavours. Guests can taste the estate’s own wine and extra virgin olive oil and enjoy traditional Tuscan dishes prepared with zero-kilometre ingredients.

Cooking classes are also offered for those who want to learn how to prepare fresh pasta and traditional desserts — the perfect way to experience Tuscany’s culinary soul through its scents and flavours.
