Set in the heart of Val D’Orcia this presented a great base to visit the surrounding villages, Radicofani being the closest but within easy reach of other towns and the various hot springs like Bagni San Fillipo and others.
Our apartment was well laid out and clean, providing all we needed, the bed was comfortable, and the Wi-Fi worked well. The only issue we had was with the TV which was rapidly resolved. We were too busy to try the pool and the weather had taken a downturn but it did look nice.
We bought their wine and Olive oil, hubby enjoyed the wine, and our son chose the locally grown, pressed and bottled Olive oil and said it was excellent.
It was a shame we did everything by WhatsApp though as we never go to meet our host who was dealing with a family issue, or anyone in the main house. But the communications with Tina were excellent especially her recommendations regarding shopping in Radicofani, a lovely village with none of the usual tourist crowds, lovely little restaurants and free parking which is so rare these days. It reminded me of the 60‘s when your local shops greeting you like a friend and everything you bought was prepared or sliced to your requirements. The porchetta, cakes and bread from Pane e Companatico were delicious, I can’t recommend Rossi the Butchers enough and our meal in La Bottega del Chiu was excellent. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay and found Radicofani to be quite a gem as were many of the surrounding towns and the scenery – wow!
