We are Rita Dell'Utri and Peter Muts, Rita is a ceramic artist and Peter is Landscape architect. The area where we live is so beautiful that it would be a shame not to share this beauty with others. We love to welcome people and see that they enjoy the silence and the nature that this place offers.

The house is surrounded by ancient chestnut trees and has a breathtaking view on Santa Fiora and Monte Amiata. Behind the house you wil find a terrace with BBQ in the shade of a pergola and in front a small loggia in the evening sun. Entering you'll find a kitchen, a bathroom and a large living with sleeping sofa for 2 persons, that becomes 2 separate beds. upstairs a cosy sleeping room for 2 under the roof with old beams. Seccatoio offers total privacy for who wants to stay on its own. The swimming pool of 4x6 meters with fresh spring water is shared with other guests but is never crowded. The pool is situated some 30 meters from the house.

Furthermore, all waste is collected separately as much as possible and we use biodegradable cleaning and washing agents.
