Rifugio Casa Santicchio
About
Nestled in the hills of Rimbocchi, Tuscany, the Rifugio Casa Santicchio is a cottage that embodies the spirit of authentic Italian countryside, with remarkable views over the surrounding landscapes.
The property presents itself as a character cottage comprising several bedrooms and bathrooms, described by visitors as perfectly clean and well maintained. Its configuration suits groups wishing to share the same accommodation in a quiet rural setting, far from mass tourist circuits. The shared spaces encourage communal living, and the overall atmosphere remains relaxed and informal, in the spirit of a Tuscan country house. The property offers generous space for extended family stays or gatherings of friends, with the feeling of being welcomed into a local home rather than an anonymous establishment.
The standing of the Rifugio Casa Santicchio rests less on standardised hotel amenities than on the quality of the welcome and the generosity of the table. The host, Laura, accompanied by her son Merlin, provides a warm reception and offers, on request, home-cooked meals: ribollita, chicken and crema catalana are among the dishes served to guests. Breakfast is also available on site. These services, directly mentioned in reviews, contribute to the authentic Italian experience that visitors seek. With a Google rating of 4.7/5 based on 133 reviews, the cottage enjoys a solid and consistent reputation, reflecting the steady quality on offer.
Rimbocchi is located in Tuscany, a region whose natural and cultural richness is a major asset for groups seeking an immersive stay. The rolling landscapes typical of this part of central Italy offer fine opportunities for hiking and walks to the surrounding medieval villages. The region also invites exploration of its vineyards, local markets and historic sites, while Tuscan gastronomy — of which the cottage offers a foretaste at the table d'hôte — is itself a reason to visit. For groups wishing to combine relaxation, conviviality and cultural discovery in an unspoilt rural setting, the Rifugio Casa Santicchio represents a coherent and well-regarded address.

What an incredible surprise. If you have to have a fancy hotel, this isn’t it. If you want a true Italian experience, this is a must. The view, property and best of all, the amazing host, you truly FEEL Italy. Love this place!!!
We were warmly received by Laura and her son Merlin. For dinner she cooked a delicious Ribollita, chicken and a crema catalana. Breakfast was also nice. =) Rooms and bathrooms were absolutely clean, nice mattresses. We three slept alone in a room for eight people, once it wasn't in the high season.
Really loved this place
Excellent hospitality, the perfect place for hikers or those seeking to recharge in pristine nature. Wonderful rooms, delicious food. If you're walking the Via di San Francesco, it's worth staying here. Highly recommended!
A wonderful oasis, a tastefully and lovingly restored farmhouse, down to the last detail. Incredibly friendly hosts...we'll be back! Margarita and Herbert from Bavaria
