La Rocchina is remote and serene, with no noise of traffic or urban life. It is ideal for relaxing, walking, creative work, retreats, as well as being a good base for sight-seeing in Tuscany. There is a 10 min walk up a stone mule path from the end of the paved road, where you can park your car. The house can also be reached by 4×4 jeep, which we use to transport your luggage on arrival and departure.
La Rocchina has free WiFi, electricity, hot water, a gas cooking stove, two wood-burning stoves and a washing machine, all included. Wood for fires can be provided at cost. No TV or landline, but good mobile phone reception.
The hamlet was abandoned during WWII and the houses, fields and orchards have been gradually restored by our family since the mid-1960s. Murotto is off-road (except by 4wd) so there is a 10-min walk up a stone mule path to the houses.
We are creating an organic and permaculture homestead, and restoring the buildings and landscape for a sustainable future.
