Il Boschetto

Wir waren jetzt zum 2ten Mal da und waren wieder zufrieden. Renza war wieder super nett. Endlich auch ein Geschirrspüer.Was nicht so toll war das man als Wiederkehrer keine Stammkundenbonus.

Pizza Pie in Radda

We had a marvellous week in Il Boschetto - so relaxing and pleasurable that we are keen to return some day. We were two families, one with a 15 year old, and one with no children. That we each had our own bedrooms and bathrooms was the height of luxury. In addition to being exactly as the photos show, we were surprised by the fact that the villa has fruit trees on its grounds and is so spacious. We were impressed with the care in terms of cleaning and attention to detail for all possible needs. We arrived in high heat, had worried about being cool enough and found that the fans were more than sufficient. The villa is well equipped with modern mosquito screens and there was no issue at all. Our night of in-home cooking by Fiasco was memorable, as were the long evenings watching the sun set from our pool. Using the outdoor wood barbecue was a real treat too. The care taken for the flowers and pool cleaning, and the ease of communicating with the caretakers once we got there is commendable. This was our second rental via To Tuscany, and we would highly recommend it. The only recommendation we would make is to install a mirror at the top of the drive as the entry/exit from the gravel driveway on to SR429 is a bit of a blind corner. Our thanks to Letizia and Rezza for all the care and attention - molto grazie! We hope we can get back to this heavenly spot one day.

Radda is very pleasant and the Casa dei Porciatti is worth it for food shopping and for lunches. Vertine is a delight, as is Volpaia.

Everything was wonderful - except the wasps, bees and hornets. Be sure to bring spirals if you're there in June a and July. Otherwise it couldn't have been better.

Set on a beautiful Tuscan hillside amongst olive trees and vines lies the villa Il Boshetto. The pool and gardens are truly beautiful and the villa is large well equipped yet traditional. We enjoyed sunny days having breakfast on the terrace and watching birds bees and lizards going about their daily routines. We did have some rain and thunderstorms whilst were at the villa but it did not spoil the overall experience. You are in the midst of working olive farms so there was occasional noise when people were busy in the fields but overall it was a tranquil relaxing holiday and a good place to explore both Florence, Siena ,Pisa and many more smaller towns and villages.

We enjoyed a visit to the Montemaggio vineyard a beautiful drive up the hillside to the vineyard where we were met by Denis who conducted both the tour and wine tasting. It was well worth the €20 charge. We also visited Florence,Siena and Pisa. Volpaia Castellina and of course Radda are very pretty too. We ate in a little restaurant in Villa which was within walking distance from the villa which prepared traditional Tuscan dishes and it was good value for money and the food was well cooked and well presented. We also ate in the La Perla in Radda which was basic but the food was fine. We also took the opportunity to have a chef come and prepare cook and serve a meal at the villa which was well worth the money. The meal was well cooked and well presented it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Maison très agréable, un peu difficile d'accès avec un minibus
Très belle situation sur les collines du chianti
Parfaitement aménagée idéal pour des couples avec leur indépendance

Belle expérience avec le repas à domicile avec mlchaella

Really wonderful place a quick couple of kilometers from Radda in Chianti. Comfortable villa, great views, everything was great.

La Vin Osteria is a great restaurant about a 5 minute walk up the road.

la maison était accueillante et très bien équipée, nous avons passé un très agréable séjour

Prachtig, ruim huis, mooi gelegen en ingericht met kwalitatief hogwaardige meubels. Zeer ruime voorraad servies, potten en pannen. Aan alle kanten omgeven door terras met zitjes en ligstoelen. Eigenaresse aardig, punctueel en attent.

Radda in Chianti zelf is een mooi, karakteristiek plaatsje, evenals Greve in Chianti. Florence, Siena en San Gimignano op niet al te grote afstand en zeer de moeite waard, maar wel erg druk. Voor wie van meer rust houdt zijn er ook vele kleinere en grotere oude vestingplaatsen of burchten te bezoeken, zoals Colle di Val d'Elsa (zeer de moeite waard en niet zo bekend), Certaldo, Volpaia, Vertine, Montefioralle.

Très belle maison d'une propreté exceptionnelle, belle grande dimension, très confortable, très bien équipée pour cuisiner, disponibilité de la propriétaire. Bref, c'est une maison que j'habiterais annuellement. Votre site internet la représente fidèlement. Je n'hésiterai pas à la recommander fortement.

Les vignobles bien évidemment, aucun des restos nous ont déçu, mais certains nous ont plu plus que d'autres. Nous avons bien apprécié une boutique où l'on vend une bonne variété des vins du pays où l'on peut également manger. Le vendeur de cette boutique est très aimable et très connaissant.

Accueil de la propriétaire, le cadre de vie, l'équipement complet de la maison
Rien à dire

Le village de radda est très sympathique. Il y a une petite épicerie où on trouve tous les produits du terroir. Pas très loin au lieu dit la Piazza, se trouve une osteria de très grande qualité. Les villages du chianti avec les différents producteurs. Sienne et son palio Les villages fortifiés de voltera et San gimignano.

Een heel mooi huis,met alles erop en eraan.Ruime kamers en handig wanneer je met 5 bent zijn de 3 badkamers.Het zwembad was ideaal voor de kinderen .
Door de vele muggen konden we 's avonds niet buiten zitten of zwemmen.Dit was het enige vervelende aan ons verblijf in Il Boschetto.

Bar Ucci was een super,de gastvrouw is heel hartelijk , de bediening erg vriendelijk en het eten subliem .Dit alles voor een heel goede prijs!

Villa had pleasant layout and he kitchen was best equipped kitchen I have seen during +10 years in Tuscan rental villas and also the bathrooms were nice. The mosquito nets in windows proofed to be very convenient.

My younger daughter was especially pleased with possibility of seeing wild boars around the villa (outside the fence of course). Brolio castle and Panzano hamburgers are close and always nice.

Tout le confort et les équipements nécessaires pour passer d excellentes vacances en famille tout en ayant son intimité grâce aux 3 salles de bain
les extérieurs sont magnifiques très bien entretenus.
radda est une charmante petit ville
très bonne adresse à conserver

Superbe restaurant à volpaia qui s appelle la bottega excellente cuisine familiale avec panorama magnifique Ensuite voir sienne san geminiano et florence (en prenant le bus de radda ce qui simplifie bCP la vie et évite les amandes ) Sinon l excellente épicerie du village quand on arrive dans radda : la maison porciani Juste fabuleuse.

War alles perfekt

für den Pool nur ein Sonnenschirm

Weingut Casanuova die Ama Gastkoch "Il Fiasco"

It was absolutely spotless. The furniture comfy and welcoming. The view outstanding the proximity to town was wonderful. We had all we needed for cooking and the patio and terrace were well furnished.

Radda is a sweet village. Sandy' cafe serves delicious pastries and coffees. The people were very friendly, and of course it is beautiful.

we loved everything about il boschetto! the villa is very clean, cozy and welcoming. it has plenty of room - we had a family of 5. the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to eat, drink, cook and serve with. all 3 bedrooms were good size with enough closet and drawer space. all 3 bathrooms made it much easier to get out in the morning- (2 showers and 1 bath). Renza met us there to give us keys and was extremely thorough and very helpful, also accommodating to our schedule. the indoor fireplace was wonderful as the evenings were a little chilly. it has an awesome balcony/deck with a stone wood burning bbq and oven. also plenty of spaces to sit and dine outside over looking rolling hills and vineyards. just a beautiful place to be!

in Volpaia there is a bar/restaurant called Bar-Ucci. it was very good and the owner also cook Paula was so freindly and very entertaining. also in Radda we ate at La Botte Di Bacco- very good as well. we visited Florence, Siena and Sangimignano -don't miss these towns - worth the drive.

Terrassen mit Grill und der Ausblick
Pool war viel zu kalt und der Lärm der Straße war besonders am Wochenende sehr störend.

A beautifully kept and spacious villa which was equipped with everything we needed. There was a friendly welcome and the garden and pool were well maintained.
The road was close by and at times busy.

This is a really comfortable spacious villa with beautiful views. The bedrooms are large and the three bathrooms very useful. Veranda on two sides offered sun and shade. The kitchen was really well stocked with basic foods. The owner was very obliging. The pool is a good size and June is a good time to visit .

It is an ideal location for visiting the towns in Chianti. A car is essential.

This was the second time we stayed at this excellent, spotless villa. Our friendly hostess worked hard in the beautiful sunshine to make us welcome from the very outset and we enjoyed the homegrown produce. It's a superb home from home, well it's better than home. My wife is a very light sleeper who always brings earplugs on holiday anyway. She says a little bit of passing noise from traffic or neighbours tending their vines is not going to put her off this lovely place. Our family group varied from sun worshippers to those who prefer a whiter shade of pale and this villa had outside areas which catered for all. Our hostess made sure the pool was welcoming from early morning to late at night. The kitchen is very well equipped for those who want to try their hand cooking the excellent local produce. The recent addition of a dishwasher means that at night the whole family can relax outside watching the sun go down over the fields. Keen photographers would never really need to leave the villa!
Leaving!!

The villa is about 1km from the small town of Radda with it's charming views and eateries which range in price to suit all. Castellina is about 15 minutes drive and again has a good range of eating places. Family members who didn't want to travel far were quite happy in these towns. If you like local markets, check out Poggibonsi's (@ 30km) on a Tuesday. Take it in during the morning on the way to Sienna (30km) perhaps. We were prepared to travel longer distances and went to Florence by train and Assisi by car. Both of these were early starts, but well worth it. Radda has a small supermarket, Poggibonsi has both Coop and Pam. San Gimignano (@40km) is very touristy but worth it for eating, drinking and touristy shopping.

Gardens beautiful and the view fabulous. Fruit trees bursting with fruit and were able to pick plums. Villa spacious and well equipped with cooking utensils, dishes, glasses and cutlery. Plenty of towels and bed linen. Laundry room was handy to have. BBQ and pizza oven both used successfully. Key holder delightful.

Places visited Radda in Chianti, Greve, Panzano, Castellina, Castillo D'Albola in Radda, Castello di Brolio, Casalvento Livernano in Radda. Monteriggioni, San Gimignano, Florence, Siena, Arezzo, Pisa, Fattoria La Vialla, Voipaia. A good map of Tuscany is essential!

Ligging, volledigheid keuken, lekker (koud) zwembad
Geluid van de weg (motoren, vrachtwagens)

Gefallen hat das das Haus sehr gut eingerichtet war wie z.B. Toaster, Geschirrspühlmaschine bis hin zur Waschmaschine für Kleidung. Ebenfalls war schön das das Haus außerhalb des Ortes war, somit sehr ruhig.
Was nicht immer tatsächlich funktioniert in Italien ist das WLAN, hier jedoch perfekt funktionierte.
Vielleicht ein kleiner Makel, das Nachmittags der Pool mehr im Schatten lag.

Sehr gepflegtes und sauberes Haus mit einer sehr guten Ausstattung in der Küche. Ausreichend und schöne Terrassenmöbel. Gute Internetverbindung. Alleinlage in den Weinbergen. Sehr freundliche Vermieterin. Gute Basisausstattung Toilettenpapier, Seife, Putzmittel, inkl. Geschirrspüler, Gewürze und als Präsent eine Flasche gutes Olivenöl.
Unproblematische Abwicklung am Schluss. Highlight: der Holzofen zum Pizzabacken auf der Terrasse.

Das der Urlaub so schnell vorbei war ...
