Beyond a Tuscan Dream...
I cannot say enough about our stay in Cristina's place. From the very moment we booked we were given so many great tips and details of things to do in the area which only added to our excitement to experience this Tuscan village. Driving in it was already dark and still we could already see how truly special it was there. The cozy streets lined in beautiful brick and stone made us feel like we stepped back hundreds of years....artistic paper lanterns in the shapes of birds and fish draped loosely above our footpath made for a magical walk to our home for the next four days. Pictures do this place no justice, it is such an incredible blend of modern all the while retaining incredible original pieces of the past left untouched. Fresh flowers were placed throughout the house and a bottle of Chianti on the table, small touches that were unexpected and beyond appreciated. The best part was waking up in the morning and being stunned by the spectacular views, I actually ran and woke up my husband to come see and we both stood there silent, a great moment we won't forget :) The village was beautiful, restaurants great (if you want a local amazing steak get the Florentine Steak (Bistecca alla Fiorentina) you can walk to N Granaio restaurant right up the road!) It is a beautiful drive to many different sights and plenty to do! We hope to come back for an even longer stay someday and I highly recommend visiting and staying here. Thank you Cristina for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Cosy and spectacular flat in a vivid mountain village with a lovely view
We enjoyed our stay very much. The flat was beautifully decorated, well-planned and well-equipped, the view from the terrace was spectacular, beds were comfortable and the owner and host were both very friendly and helpful. The village was lively and we felt part of the daily Italian life; going to the bakery in the morning, queuing up to fill our water bottles, visiting the small food shops and the restaurants of the village. For future visitors it is good to know that the village is quite remote, far up in the hills, which means it takes at least 30-60 minutes to drive to other towns you would like to visit. The only minus of the flat was that it was quite cold which I suspect is normal in Italy in this season (late October-early November).

Wonderful apartment in a beautiful village!
We spent two weeks in this lovely apartment in Radicondoli. The apartment is very comfortable and we felt instantly at home away from home.It is very tastefully furnished without losing the original charm. Very spacious accommodation with stunning views from the balcony over the Tuscan hills. It is very well equipped and makes for easy living. The owner is very charming and always available and the apartment is locally looked after by the very friendly and competent Karin who also gives great advice on things to do and places to visit. Radicondoli has three very good restaurants, all within a few minutes walk from the apartment. If you feel like a truly relaxing and stimulating holiday, this is the place for you.

One of the most amazing places I've ever been. Beautiful views and an absolutely charming place that mixes the old and new in a unique way. The decoration and layout of the place impressed me, the view from the window is breathtaking.

I'm an Italian native from Milan, currently residing in Los Angeles. I work in the film industry as a Dubbing Supervisor, and my jobs frequently take me to South America and Europe to supervise the foreign language dubbing of major film releases.
My kids and grand kids are spread all over the world, so it takes a lot of flying to see them every year, but I love it!
I'm fluent in English, Italian, and Portuguese, and I speak a little bit of French and Spanish. Our, greeter, Karin, is also fluent in German.

Why they chose this property

This property is owned by me and my siblings. Our dad settled in Radicondoli in the 1980s' and he loved this village. Before passing away in 2003, he wanted to make sure we had a place in Radicondoli, so we could come back to this lovely village, so dear to him. Plus we still have close relatives that live in the area. We feel so lucky we can come here on vacation every year with our families, and enjoy our elegant, comfortable and huge apartment ... much more spacious than other comparably priced rentals in town!

What makes this property unique

This apartment is so large that there are several distinct areas to it, each with a different feel. Each bedroom is quite different from the other and they are on different floors and opposite sides of the apartment, so there is a lot of privacy. The kitchen is to die for ... truly a sociable pleasure to cook in!
Catering and cooking lessons available upon request and pending availability, at additional cost to be determined.
