Tuscan country house with enchanting view and swimming pool

Luca was very communicative through the process- from my first inquiry to welcoming us and until sending us off with a warm goodbye. His place was so charming, just as pictured, comfortable, clean and plenty of amenities inside and out! The beautiful property is relaxing, quiet, filled with olive trees, native plants & spectacular views! Luca offered wonderful suggestions where to dine and explore! The village of Radicondoli was also welcoming by the residents there. It was a MOST memorable stay!

Luca, the owner was very communicative prior to arrival and once we were there. We had a last minute date change and so kindly obliged us. The guest cottage is 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It was very clean and beautiful. There is also a pool. Radiconoli is very centrally located in Tuscany to drive to many wonderful nearby larger cities like Siena, but remote enough for incredible peace and quiet. Bedding was very comfortable. Full mini kitchen less an oven. We absolutely LOVED our week here and would highly recommend this place if you want a beautiful view and a peaceful retreat. Mary who helped check us in was an absolute sweetheart. And GriGri, the owners 15yr old cat, came to check on now and again. We felt so at home here! We will be back!

My husband and I had a lovely time in Podere il Giglio, Luca is the best host, who was available at all times. Radicondoli is the best village, Café Nazionale has the best Americano. Don't visit San Gimigmano though, it's worse than Disneyland. The stay was perfect, May is a good time to travel.

Perfect location. Beautiful views. Nice helpful host!

It was a pleasure for us to call this place our home for a week, and it was an honor to meet the host Luca.

We had a perfect vacation in Luca's house with two adults and a teenager. The road to the house is single lane and gravel, but not a problem. Host Luca was waiting for us on arrival with a breakfast basket for the next few days. The house is very quiet in the middle of olive trees and Luca (also lives on the large property) was very discreet, but always available. Luca makes his own olive oil, which tastes very good, we were happy to buy it. The furnishings of the house correspond to the pictures and are of very high quality and well thought out. We were also able to use a washing machine. There are two seating areas outside that belong to the house, where you can sit undisturbed. Radicondoli is a pretty, medieval village and can be reached on foot in 20-25 minutes, straight up the hill from the house. There are some good restaurants and a mini-coop market there. Radicondoli is perfectly located to reach interesting destinations in Tuscany such as Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, Florence. We highly recommend the house! Grazie mille, Luca!

We highly recommend staying here. It is a perfect way to relax in a house that has all the essentials with comfortable bedrooms, full kitchen, beautiful living room, and everything very clean. Luca and his wife are gracious and accommodating. They designed and built the house and it is remarkable: A very serene and comfortable setting. It is stunning in its architecture with a living room view over an olive orchard and a sitting area just outside the door. Villages in the area are easily accessible and provide a wonderful immersion into the regional culture.

The property is even better than the fotos!! The small town of Radicondoli is quintessential Tuscany and is a short walk from the property. Luca is the perfect host, making sure that all your needs are met, super friendly but not intruding. We stayed 4 nights which was not enough, make sure you stay longer, there is so much to explore. We rented a car in Florence and it was an easy hour drive to the property, good directions from Luca made it very easy to find. I would definitely return and can not recommend it highly enough.

We spent two weeks at this lovely farm with beautiful views. The house is nicely furnished and immaculately clean. The property consists of two bedrooms, two baths, and a combined kitchen, sitting room and dining area. Outside is another seating area under a lovely pergola. The property has a beautiful swimming pool, and although shared with the other unit, we mostly had it to ourselves. The hosts are welcoming, helpful and offered recommendations as to places to visit and eat. The welcome hamper we received on our first night was a lovely gesture and came in handy as we were late after a long drive from France. Fond memories of this property that we highly recommend, especially our daughter's friendship with the owner's cat. Lovely time had by all.

We were 2 couples who felt that everything we needed was here. The Tuscany style home is about 10 years old, so it offers conveniences not found in the older places. But it has every element of the charm Tuscany offers. Well stocked kitchen, a washer and tucked way back from the main road on the hillside for a peaceful view. We used it as a base for travel to all the important places including Pisa (2 hour drive). Luca gave perfect directions when we called to say that we missed the turnoff. Memories to be treasured from our visit to Il Giglo Farm.
