A wonderful experience. The beauty of the land surrounding the Podere la Fonte is to say the least stunning. A sense of peace and serenity immediately embrace you here. Emanuela and Marco the owners are amazing people in love with the land and totally dedicated to make your stay easy and comfortable. The village of Radicondoli is just few steps up the road where you can enjoy a cappuccino with a brioche and cultural events.. My husband and I and our two cats felt happy and totally fulfilled by the experience so much that we decided to extend our stay. Overall exceeding expectations. It is a place which connects you to your humanness and the heart. Thank you deeply!
Our stay at "il Noce della Fonte" was beautyful. It is ideal for two couples as each bedroom has its own bathroom.Unfortunately we only had one week.The charm of the house, the garden with many small seat-options and our apartement we liked a lot. It is very quiet. So exactly what stressed urbanites need to relax.Since we liked it so much we were only once the whole day on the way. Most of the time we prefered to rest under the walnut tree and made smaller detour explorations. In Radicondali, which is reached after a short walk (10 minutes) you get the bare minimum.Larger supermarkets can be reached by car about 20 /30 minutes.
Cheese is best bought directly from the producer in the area.
The olive oil from Emanuella and Marco is delicious.You should take something home with you.The housewine is also very good.Since we were there by plane, unfortunately we only took the oil.
CONCLUSION: We can definitely recommend this beautyful place.
We had a wonderful stay at La Fonte, enjoying the quiet and relaxation under the walnut tree, the terrific hospitality of Emanuela and Marco, the proximity to the nearby village and the convenient location to a lot of places in Tuscany. If you are looking for all of this (and also want to support a family-run organic farm), La Fonte is the perfect place.
Marco and Emanuela were great hosts, very welcoming and attentive. They also gave us great local
suggestions (including a nearby farm, where we could buy excellent cheese), restaurants and places to see. Besides the very good bio wine they produce, lots of fruit and vegetables are grown on the farm which we also could use for our dinners.
We highly recommend La Fonte and look forward to returning in the near future
Hieno ja pittoreski paikka Toscanan kauniissa maisemassa, lÀhellÀ oikeaa ja toimivaa Radicondolin pikkukaupunkia. Me vieraat, kaksi suomalaista elÀkeikÀistÀ pariskuntaa, olimme paikalla 11 pÀivÀÀ, mikÀ tuntui sopivalta ajalta. MeistÀ vieraista tuli melkein kaupungin asukkaita, kaupungissa kauppa ja kolme ravintolaa. Kaupungin urheilukentÀn yhteydessÀ on myös kaksi hyvÀkuntoista tenniskenttÀÀ, jotka vapaasti myös turistien kÀytettÀvissÀ, pelasimme neljÀ jÀnnittÀvÀÀ nelinpeliÀ... IsÀntÀvÀki Emanuel ja Marco ottivat meidÀt lÀmpimÀsti vastaan ja kertoivat tilansa ekologisesta viljelystÀ, tilan tuotteista öljystÀ ja viinin valmistuksesta. Mahdollisuus myös ostaa tilan tuotteita, jonka myös teimme. IsÀntÀvÀki todella lÀmminhenkisiÀ ja avuliaita.
Paikasta oli myös mielenkiintoista tehdÀ omalla autolla pÀivÀretkiÀ Toscanan mainekkaisiin turistikaupungeihin, Siena, Firenze, Lucca, Volterra ja Grosseto.
