Radicondoli is an unspoilt castellated medieval village midway between Siena and Volterra whose architecture it reflects. The lay out of the village is almost unchanged since 1300 which was its heyday with a thriving wool trade. From its 500 metres the village dominates a 360° panorama over the surrounding area with woodland a main feature. From here you look down the beautiful Cecina river valley and the unique hot steam springs that are harnessed for geothermic power production. Volterrra, San Gimignano and many other villages can be seen on the surrounding hills. Massa Marrittima is just over 40 minutes away and many seaside resorts are only a further short distance away. Radicondoli is within the Siena province and like most of this area is famed for its agricultural produce such as wine, oil and sheep milk cheese. This is therefore an area to be visited at any time of the year, even in winter, especially if you have the benefit of full central heating and a log fire to go home to.
