The Castelluccio is not only a cottage that has been restructured in stone but also a very welcoming place. It shows the roots and history of the people that lived there and managed to survive not only war but also poverty and social conditions, it represents simple and warm hearted country folk culture and is based on real and true relations.

The creation of Agritourism has attempted to protect and respect the possible original traditions.
Il Castelluccio is a farmhouse constructed from the local stone, positioned inside a very small inhabited village with frequent visitors from the local area.
Historically there were reports of human settlements and the formation of numerous rural centres and defences after the Lombardian invasion that occurred around 575 ad.
There is no evidence but it is very probable that in ancient times il Castelluccio was a small castle defending what followed and came to be the present place name. The first reports that we are certain of is that a terroritory was well organized inside Badia (Badia San Veriano) up to 1095 d.C.

Where we are

Badia San Veriano
About a km in distance, with a walk for about 20 minutes, you reach Castelluccio, Badia San Veriano. Here you will find a beautiful church.  The geographical position and its structure make it a very fascinating place.
The construction of this church traces back to 100 ad as a Benedictan monastery with Byzantine, Roman and Ravennate influences.  It is assumed that from the Benedictine monastery is became
Camaldolese in the years between 1105 and 1113.
The present building is made up of a rectangular room ending with three semi circular apses of almost the same height and one to the other. On the left side the remains of the cylindrical bell tower. The crypt beneath is original and striking.

Arezzo
Arezzo has Etruscan origins, we already know that in the IX century bc there existed an Etruscan Arezzo with a name resembling the present name: Arretium.
In the following centuries it became a city of strategic importance.  The grounds of Arezzo have given birth to many important people: Guido Monaco, Francesco Petrarch, Giorgio Vasari, Michelangelo Buonarroti are among the most famous. Between 1418 and 1420 Piero Della Francesca was born, his works are admired also in  Arezzo, in the cathedral and in the Basilica of San Francesco to Monterchi and Sansepolcro.
There are many historic itineraries in Arezzo, religious and cultural that should not be missed.
The Cathedral ( Maddalena di Piero della Francesca, stain glass windows of Guglielmo de Marcillat)
Santa Maria della Pieve ( largest and most beautiful Romanic church of Aretino)
Piazza  ( one of the most original , organic and picturesque squares in Italy)
Basilica di San Francesco
Casa Vasari
San Domenico Church with  a splendid crucifix of  Cimabue

Chiusi della Verna
On the Sacro Monte, today’s convent has kept its places famous for St Francis   and the works successfully following. 

Camaldoli
Camaldoli (m 814) with its retreat (m 1111), in the heart of the centuries old casentinese forest, is made up of half of the easy and suggested ways. The Hermitage, created by San Romualdo in 1012, was characterized for its cells, everything equal and separated one from the other, in which the monks were voluntarily enclosed.

Cortona
Cortona, with Etruscan origins still conserves many works amongst the one eyed walls and various Estruscan tombs. The constructions are primarily medieval. By visiting the ancient history, for the breathtaking view for the architectural structure of the buildings that rock climb on the hill up to the church of Santa Margarita.
