The castle itself is beautiful and the surrounding area may take your breath away. Some apartments (the ones with the incredible views) are up many stairs while some are on the ground floor with no stairs.
The castle was built in the 14th century, over 1,000 years ago! Of course it’s had some updates since then, but it’s not The Hilton. The furniture is authentic and the decor is typical Tuscan. The bathrooms are quirky and small and if you want to enjoy the amazing views in the tower expect some steep stairs.

About the host

Hosted by Stefanie and Rasmus

Hey there, we are Stefanie (American) & Rasmus (Danish). We met when Stefanie rented a room in Rasmus' Copenhagen apartment on Airbnb. :) That 3 day stay turned into a lifetime of adventure!

Now we are married with two lil' AirbnBabies. Our passion is to create a place that unites like-minded individuals through travel, art and co-creation. We love hosting celebrations here and bringing this ancient castle back to life by filling it with wonderful happy people.

We know there are other people from all over the world who have the same dreams and desires that we do - to enjoy a simpler life surrounded by nature. To focus on themselves and their families. To get away from the stress and the consumerism and get back to the earth and the love. To build, to learn, to explore and to create. This is what Ristonchi provides.
