All was very nice, especially the hosts - answered our questions and helped out with the dining (can be hard in the countryside!)
House is very clean and extremely quiet, as it neighbors just the owners house and one more. Other than that just beautiful hills of Tuscany, almost exclusively for you
Wir haben uns herzlich willkommen und rundum wohl gefĂŒhlt. Das Haus und der Ausblick sind noch besser, als auf den Fotos. Eine Oase der Ruhe und ein Hort der Gastfreundschaft. In der DĂ€mmerung kann man von der Terrasse Hirsche und Wildschweine beobachten. In Belforte gibt es das beste Brot zu kaufen, was wir in der Toskana gefunden haben. Nachts schlĂ€ft man ruhig, wie ein SĂ€ugling und wird morgens mur vom Vogelgezwitscher geweckt. Ein Traum, vielen Dank an Maria und Mario!
We had an amazing stay! Our hosts, Maria and Mario are wonderful, genuine people. They were full of tips and suggestions, booked restaurants for us and even took us to a Dr when needed, but never intruded on our privacy.
The house is a delight. It much exceeded our expectations. The photos can't do it justice. The view of the unspoilt countryside is stunning. We watched deer almost daily feeding in the grassy meadows below at dawn or dusk, and the fire flies flitting around in the dark countryside at night! We even saw a fox on our walk along the track from the house through the forest and meadows down to the river.
The new terrace surrounding the house is very tasteful, with tables, chairs and loungers on just about every side of the house.
We loved the fact that it is off the busy tourist trail, and that the nearby hilltop villages of Belforte and Radicondoli are so unspoilt and picturesque.
Yet Sienna and the coast are also easily accessible within an hour not to mention many other wonderful little Tuscan towns.
The only downside is the bumpy road leading to the house, but it is bearable when taken slowly.
In summary we highly recommend it!
Na een hobbelig onverhard weggetje kom je aan bij een prima verzorgd huisje met een mega uitzicht, waar je geen genoeg van kunt krijgen. Hartelijke eigenaren, behulpzaam. Wel rekening houden met lange reistijden voor boodschappen in verband met de kronkelige wegen, verder meer dan top, met een heerlijk bed.
Das Haus von Maria Pia und Mario ist top - sehr sauber und in einem guten Zustand. Man merkt, dass beide viel Herzblut in die Einrichtung stecken. Die EigentĂŒmer sind sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich.
Lieve ontvangst door de eigenaars met lekker flesje wijn en zoetigheid van de streek. Al het nodige om lekker te kunnen koken is aanwezig, het bed is heel comfortabel, overal aan ramen en deuren vliegenramen zodat muggen buiten blijven⊠leuk terrasje om buiten te eten.
Der Empfang war herzlich, die Betrueung vorort sehr gut. Die Umgebung ist sehr lĂ€ndlich und der Weg ins Dorf ein schöner FuĂweg. Weit weg vom Touristentrubel eine gute Einkehr.
We very much enjoyed our stay at this cottage. Maria and Mario are great host and they were very helpful. The home is very clean and perfectly located. The home was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We are very happy to have chosen this cottage and would recommend it to others.
Maria and Mario are the perfect hosts. The property is located near the hilltop village of Belforte .it overlooks the Tuscan hills and is an ideal location to relax. You maybe lucky to see wild deer and boar.there are many hiking routes nearby through the forests.the property is spotlessly clean and has all that you require.
This was our second visit and we will go again
We had a wonderful time at Maria Pia and Mario's property. They were absolutely fantastic hosts and could not have done more to make us feel welcome and comfortable.
We would no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this property to other guests looking for a quiet relaxing location in the countryside.

Sehr schönes Ferienhaus.
Ruhige Lage. Toller Blick in die Landschaft. Haus sehr gut ausgestattet. Viele SehenswĂŒrdigkeiten im Umkreis von 50 km ( Auto allerdings notwendig ). Wanderungen ab Haus möglich. Sehr freundliche Gastgeber.
Dit huisje in Radicondoli ligt midden in de bergen en heeft een fantastisch uitzicht. Vanuit de slaapkamer zie je de zonsopkomst en dat is fantastisch wakker worden... Het schattige huisje heeft alles wat je nodig hebt en er is buiten ook voldoende plek om te relaxen. Snachts hoor je echt helemaal niets! Mario is erg vriendelijk en hij heeft ons veel leuke tips gegeven om te doen en te zien. Het huisje ligt wel erg afgelegen en in deze tijd van het jaar is het vroeg donker, en zonder straatverlichting in de bergen is het best spannend rijden....
Non posso che confermare il giudizio di chi mi ha preceduto.
Posto estremamente tranquillo, solo le cicale e i grilli a farvi compagnia. Di notte silenzio assoluto ( e materassi comodissimi) che vi permetteranno favolose dormite.
Casa perfetta, ampia, dotata di tutti i comfort e di tutte le attrezzature necessarie.
E se per caso vi manca ancora qualcosa, basta dirlo ai proprietari e in men che non si dica vedrete arrivare ciĂČ che avete chiesto.
Maria Pia e Mario sono sempre pronti per ogni vostra necessitĂ e non potrete non stringere amicizia con loro.
E magari anche con i loro gatti, silenziosi e riservati pure loro!
Insomma un posto che si lascia a malincuore e in cui viene voglia di tornare subito.
Cinque stelle non bastano.
I can just agree with all the others that it is the perfect place for holidays in Tuscany. We had great weather, amazing hosts, beautiful landscape and delicious food in the pizzerias nearby. Always again!
The owners are lovely people and the cottage is clean. The views from the terrace over the Tuscan countryside are divine. Wirhin easy reach of Florence Sienna Pisa and Voltera although a car is a must. If you like peace and quiet then this is the place.
We had a fantastic week at Mario and MariaPia's property. It was unbelievably peaceful and the view from the terrace is just so calming and beautiful. House is spacious and very clean with everything you would need. Great location with lots to see and do within 1.5 hrs drive. It really is a superb landscape and we loved driving around as every road has stunning views. Mario and MariaPia were just so hospitable and welcoming. They were also very helpful in giving advice on things to do and how to get there. It was a treat to have met them, so nice. We would not hesitate to go back, beautiful!
Due to a delay we arrived late at night and had to ask in Belforte for direction. The nice People called Maria and then we got it right. They waited for us in the dark and welcomed us with a nice Chianti. The house is nice, the view great and the nearby town Belforte as well as the slightly farer Radicondoli always good for a visit. Maria and Mario can provide with enough tipps that you can really dig into the Tuscan way of life. WeÂŽll be back!
Just a terrific place to stay if you want peace and solitude along the way!
The property was outstanding! Very well maintained in all areas. Anna Pita and Mario are excellent hosts. Both offered local recommendations that exceeded our expectations. Great experience, it's very understandable why their past reviews are so good. Just great people!
Wir waren 1 Woche in diesem Ferienhaus und sind begeistert. Die Lage des Hauses mitten in der Natur ist einfach toll. Wer Ruhe und Erholung sucht, ist hier genau richtig - kein LĂ€rm, nur Vogelgezwitscher und gute Luft. Ohne Auto geht es natĂŒrlich nicht, um dort hin zu gelangen und auch um AusflĂŒge in die nĂ€here Umgebung zu machen. Wir haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen. (Leider war eine Woche viel zu kurz). Das Haus ist praktisch eingerichtet und in der KĂŒche ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Es gibt einen Holzofen, mit dem man es sich an kĂŒhlen Abenden gemĂŒtlich warm machen kann. Die Gastgeber sind sehr nett!!! Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefĂŒhlt.
This is the third time in four years that we have stayed here. We love the place so much. Maria Pia and Mario (the owners) are like old friends now. We are made to feel so welcome it is a real drag to leave at the end of the stay. There are many places to visit in the area and this year we found a hidden gem near to Colle di Val d'Elsa - a Roman Etrusian baths just off the main road. We also saw lots of wildlife, the highlights being Short Toed Snake Eagles, deer in the garden and on the last day a Pine Marten in the apple tree next to the outdoor sitting area. We will definitely return again.
My husband and I came from Milan to this wonderful area of Tuscany in 1996. We have been enchanted by the quietness and brightness of the surrounding nature, the silence of the nights, the wildlife around with deer and a lot of different birds. In addition Tuscan food is so delicious and full of flavor! In a short time we can reach the cities of art or the sea side, enjoying other areas within Tuscany.
