Fabulous villa, great pool. We loved the peace and tranquillity. The views were amazing.
We were a family of 7 and we all had a great holiday

We had a great meal at La Bottega one evening and a relaxed lunch at Bar Ucci. Fabulous day in Florence with a great pizza

Delightful villa, although if you didnt have a AWD car you would struggle to access on very rough track

Radda had a good selection of restaurants and there were endless vineyards to visit nearby,

This is a wonderful spacious house, with very tasteful finishes, quite well equipped kitchen and wonderful Tuscan views.

La Botega in Volpaia, the nearest village, was our favourite. One can walk there, it’s uphill, but only about 1 km. Plenty to see in the area, and the nearest town, Radda, is super cute and offers enough shops and enotecas as well as a good supermarket to stock up the villa and never leave.

My wife and I stayed at the Villa with our 2 sons and their wives. We found everything about the Villa excellent from the location to the level of facilities and provision of kitchen equipment it was just perfect. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, the varied outdoor space was great and the lounge and other sitting areas inside the Villa were very appealing.

We enjoyed Radda which was about 15 minutes away and walking to Volpaia where there is an excellent winery and 3 good restaurants. We also travelled to Siena which was about 50 minutes drive.

Séjour merveilleux
La villa est très agréable à vivre
l'environnement est parfait

Le bémol est vraiment le chemin d'accès qui est très chaotique - vous devriez être plus explicite sur ce point - si j'étais venu avec une de mes voitures de sports...je n'aurais jamais pu atteindre la villa

Lamole - excellentissime

Maison superbe et très agréable avec une vue superbe sur les vignes du Chianti.
Maison propre mais pas raffiné pour le prix, je ne parle des chambres qui elles sont très propres ainsi que la maison.
Je parle de petits détails, la table sous la tonnelle était vraiment très sale et je vous parle du lave vaisselle qui visiblement est en fin de vie.
Nous avons terminés le séjour en lavant à la main.
Bien cordialement

A beautiful villa in a fantastic location. Quiet, great views and great facilities.

Lots of great restaurants nearby. We ate at La Botte di Bacco and la Perla del Palazzo in Radda and at la Bottega di Volpaia. All were excellent, with la Botte di Bacco the best but a bit pricier.

séjour très agréable dans une villa bien située, bien équipée, bien entretenue, bien décorée, avec une vue magnifique et le silence ! la piscine sans chlore est très agréable, et l'accueil de Francesco , ponctuel, parfait. La route pour accéder à la villa est chaotique! seul points qui pourraient être améliorés: pas assez de lumières dehors et les transats devant la piscine n'ont pas de roulettes et ne s'inclinent pas! ce ne sont que des détails! je recommande vivement cette villa!

La bottega à Volpaia, avec une cuisine délicieuse , un cadre charmant et un accueil et service parfaits!

Maison merveilleuse dans un décor de rêve ! Cuisine parfaitement équipée, salon très confortable, terrasse et ramade parfaites pour prendre les repas et piscine superbe !
Seuls bémols, les robinetteries des douches et les matelas durs et pas confortables ....
Expérience réussie , nous recommandons cette maison ❤️

Les restaurants de Volpaia ! Le restaurant du Castello Di AMA et sa magnifique terrasse (penser à réserver) Visite de tous les villages alentours et bien sûr Sienne, Florence, et Lucca ...

After reading about Il Casetto on the To Tuscany website, we had high expectations. They were easily met. The views are breathtaking. The house itself is rather elegant and very comfortable. It's the sort of place one dreams about, but never expects to find. Both patios provide extraordinary views of vineyards, olive groves, rolling hills and distant ancient towns. The dining room and kitchen area are ideal for entertaining. The living room is exactly as pictured on-line: beautiful stone walls and massive wood beams. The living space is ample enough to provide privacy for all. It's also possible to walk up the road to the ancient castle and tiny town of Volpaia, a lovely place for lunch or dinner. For us this was a three-generation family gathering. It will provide a wealth of memories for years to come. There is simply nothing I would want to change about Il Casetto.

We had visited Tuscany before, so we made only one day trip into Florence, an easy hour's drive away. Our interest was in visiting the small towns. Radda is a gem. For us it had just the right mix of history, great vistas, good food and interesting residents who were happy to chat with us. Fabrizio at Enoteca Toscana will answer all your wine questions. He and his spouse also own Dante 's across the street. It's a good place for lunch. We found the best pizza at Lo Sfizio di Bianchi, a nice sidewalk cafe in the wonderful nearby town of Gaiole. Many locals eat there. It's a regular stop for touring cyclists also. We are gelato lovers and visited at least one gelateria every day. Our favorites were Gelateria di Castellina in Castellina and Sandy's in Radda. The former also has a store in Radda. Sienna has two excellent gelaterias on the main square. Our favorite restaurant for dinner was Osteria le Panzanelle just outside the town of Radda in Lucarelli. Antica Trattoria La Torre in Castellina was also good. For farmers' markets, we found the one in Poggibonsi to be the best. Our favorite wineries were Brancaia and Vignavecchia. The latter has a long history. We also had a dinner prepared for us at Il Casetto be two local chefs. it was outstanding! We had four courses in typical Tuscan style. The ingredients were local. The pasta was made in our kitchen. We had bruschetta, ravioli, veal and chocolate tortino. The two chefs are Alessia and Barbara and use the name "Le due Cuochine. They are amazing. Not only are they very good chefs, but they also are delightful persons. Their prices are very reasonable.
