For eleven years I dreamed of Tuscany. Two years ago we packed up and moved to Riparbella — spontaneous, without preparation, without a plan.
The village adopted us as family. And because no one could pronounce my Dutch name, they renamed me: Mario il Ollandese.
Mario il Ollandese
— what the village renamed me
Casa Mario is our gift — a way to share this village with anyone who wants to experience it the way we live it.
We live in Riparbella ourselves — just around the corner from Casa Mario. While you're staying, we're a two-minute walk away — to hand you the keys, point you to the bakery, share a bottle of wine on day three. This isn't a check-in desk. It's how we live, and you're welcome to it.
