Further details for this holiday farmhouse rental in Radicofani, Italy

Visitors book comments 1: 'The wonderful experience we've had in Tuscany would not have been so were it not for this incredible house and the care that has gone into making the experience special for every guest. The best guide book has been the 'Salt' guide - we followed through on many of the suggestions. The four children beween us ( 7, 8, 11, 11) could not have been happier, especially picking berries and collecting rocks by the river bed toward Celle sul Rigo. Thank you very much for hosting us and for facilitating great memories that we will be able to fall back on for years to come.' (Family T. and Family S. 2007). 'Peaceful, beautiful country estate surrounded by the wonderful Tuscan countryside. We have enjoyed the serenity of this beautifully appointed home. City comforts in the Tuscan hills. The access to old-world and historically significant towns nearby have added many interesting days to our stay... A thoroughly wonderful stay'. (D & M C. 2007).

Visitors book comments 2: 'We have stayed in wonderful places on our journey through France and Italy. Admittedly when we started on our winding journey to your hideaway, we wondered where we would end up. We found a 'little bit of heaven'. Your villa is wonderful with all the amenities we could ask for... Thank you for sharing your treasure with us' . (J & G R. 2007). 'We feel as though we know you, having spent a week in your beautiful home! We have all put our worries behind us as we have explored this beautiful countryside. The garden has inspired us. It is so lovely. Many afternoons were spent by the pool - it is such an oasis. Thank you so much'. (S and M B. 2007). 'Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home. Such a pleasure waking up to stunning views. I don't think I've ever stayed anywhere so quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed visiting the sleepy little towns and lounging by the pool...Really don't want to leave. Thank you again, we'll be back!' (E.M. 2007)

Other Activities: wine tasting, concerts, opera.

Review Submitted: October 19, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We are a family of four and we stayed here for 2 weeks in August 2009 - it was a wonderful holiday and one we will never forget. The house stands in the most beautiful countryside and the views from the all of the windows, pool and terrace are incredible. The recommendations for restaurants, places to visit etc are so good that it is impossible to go wrong and every effort has been made to ensure a relaxing and comfortable stay. The housekeeper is wonderful - the house is spotless and she is a fantastic cook! We would definitely like to return one day.

Review Submitted: December 6, 2007 Date of Stay: December 2007
We had a terrific time at your home in Tuscany. We will remember how beautiful things were: the house, grounds, garden, pool. Also, & surprise to us, we really enjoyed the location. The views were wonderful, & the daily trips into nearby towns made the week especially memorable. We visited Orvieto, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Pienza. Saw sights & did food shopping. Your detailed info on the region was very helpful as we planned our days. Kim, our 'resident cook' enjoyed using your 'River Cafe' cookbooks. In fact, he just ordered the cookbooks from Amazon.com. Rachele [property's housekeeper] is magnificent. In short, and in closing, our only complaint is that we were only able to stay a week (2004).
A place like this exists nowhere else on earth. The expansive vistas, charming hill towns and lovely 'home away from home' will remain forever etched in my memory. Rachele is a real find -helpful, cheerful & an excellent cook! What a vacation! (2003).
