Italian, grown up in Tuscany on a village outside Florence, I left Italy together with my (later became) wife few years after the university to work abroad. Lived in California, Germany and since more than 10 years in the Netherlands. When possible, we like to go enjoying some relaxing time back in Tuscany and listen to the silence.. The guests will be welcomed at their arrival by Sara and Marcello, the house keepers, who will hand the keys and can arrange laundry, extra towels, or home made catering (charged separately). The owners can always be reached via email or phone at any time.

The property is 1.1Km (0.7 miles) from the downtown of Radicofani, that has 3 restaurants of typical local cuisine, grocery, bakery, butchery, pubs as well as pharmacy, post office, bank, police station and city hall. The country side location, yet walking distance from the village makes it possible to enjoy the staying without driving if you wish. From Radicofani, within 30 minutes driving can be reached the Thermal stations of San Casciano dei Bagni, or Bagno Vignoni, or San Filippo. In 45mins/1hr, the villages of Pienza, Montalcino (Brunello wine), the top of Amiata mountain (5900 foot above sea level) or the historical city of Siena. Florence, Pisa, Rome are in 2 hours driving distance hence making it possible to visit in a day or reach the airports.
