Villa Costa, Stunning Villa in the heart of Tuscany.

This villa's stunning views and the hospitality of the hostess and all the people of Radicondoli was exceptional. I would book this villa again.

Our stay at Villa Costa was magical! The setting is so picturesque, peaceful & serene. Even though the hosts did not speak English, they went out of their way to make sure all of our questions were answered (bless Google Translate). Definitely the high point of our trip to Tuscany! Highly recommend.

Our group of 8 lovers of food and wine thoroughly enjoyed the comfortable and spacious villa, isolated on a hilltop amongst the sheep and with 360 degree views of the Tuscan countryside and the charming small village of Radicondoli. Perfect for visiting many fascinating villages, towns, and cities of Tuscany, preparing meals of pasta and truffles with local wines, sampling freshly-pressed olive oil from nearby producers, and tasting at generations-old wineries. The one glitch we had was a request for payment of a check-out cleaning fee that was noted nowhere in the contract, but VRBO stood behind our agreement and our gracious host relented. We would happily return, and perhaps with less rainy weather, even enjoy the beautiful pool that would be quite a bonus in warmer times!

I stayed at this property for 1 week with my parents, my sisters and their husbands and 3 children (aged 1-6) and all I can say is what a wonderful villa. The layout was ideal for us. 3 bedrooms were located upstairs accessed by the external stairs, 2 had en-suites and the other had a bathroom next door) and there was also a seating area up there. One bedroom was based downstairs off the main living area with a bathroom next door. And the other bedroom was in the annexe which was accessed around the side of the property and had its own kitchenette and bathroom. A lot of our time was spent at the table outside under the veranda and by the swimming pool. The pool was cleaned each morning. The children enjoyed playing on the grass and running laps of the property. We were visited daily by the very friendly little black and white dog and her friend the black cat. We also had a visit from two livestock guardian dogs who were also very friendly. We are very much a family of animal lovers so this was very welcome. The property itself was very well maintained and clean. The location itself is quite rural with about a 10 minute drive to the small village of Radicondoli (5mins to get down the track from the house to the main road). Overall we all loved this villa and would love to stay again one day. Pasqualina and her family were very kind and welcoming. Grqzie!

You have all the amenities of a large, historic villa - and also the real farmland all around you. Sheep, horses, dogs - beautiful, and not in your personal space (unless you want them to be!). Pasqualina and her son Francesco are perfect hosts. Incredibly responsive, even with a language barrier. If I return to Tuscany I would want to stay here again. Thank you so much.

The villa and the location is just excellent, with breathtaking views of the Tuscan hills and the nice little village of Radicondoli. We loved the place. The only little downside is the amount of flies, probably due to the sheeps and pigs living on the surrondings. The host Pasqualina was very helpful and quick to answer any question.

The villa sits in splendid isolation on a small hill with fabulous views of the surrounding countryside and of Radicondoli to the North. The house is extremely spacious with 4 simply furnished bedrooms in the main house (1 downstairs and 3 upstairs, accessed via the outside steps) and a further one in the attached annex to the rear of the property - which we didn't need or use; all bedrooms have their own bathroom. There is no air-conditioning but, even in the heat of August, we found open windows and fans were sufficient. We made lots of use of the pool, which is huge and well maintained with plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas for shade. The local village of Radicondoli is a 15 minute drive away as the direct road is closed by a landslide - but apparently this road is due to reopen in September 2020. Radicondoli is an undiscovered gem with cobbled streets, spectacular views and at least three good quality, reasonably priced restaurants - two of which we tried. We also visited Sienna (lovely), Volterra (too touristy) and San Gimignano (very nice) and had a late afternoon by the sea at Follonica (worth the 1 hour drive). Pasqualina was very helpful, quickly responding to any queries we had and, even though she speaks no English and we speak no Italian, we found Google Translate, gestures and miming were all we needed. For much of the year we thought our visit to Tuscany would be impossible due to the Coronavirus but we consider ourselves fortunate that things resolved just in time to enable us to go to Italy and could not have picked a better place to spend our holiday.

Many thanks/Grazie Pasqualina, everything was just perfect. It is indeed a superb Villa with a superb location.

We were a family of 8 people - 4 pairs, and enjoyed staying in this spacious, beautiful and clean villa with a large pool. Great views from the house. I highly recommended this villa and owners. We enjoyed day trips to Pisa, Florence and Sienna. The distance to Radicondoli (nearest grocery shopping) by car is 16 km as the short road (6 km) to Radicondoli is destroyed.

We don't know where to begin to express the quality of this vacation. Pasqualina and Giuseppi were amazing hosts. Their villa is simply beautiful and the panoramic views are truly amazing. They came to the villa each day to tend to the flowers and the pool. They offered information regarding different places to see and visit. The fifteen minute drive to reach Radicondoli from the villa is well worth every moment. The scenery along the ride is unforgettable. The little village itself is charming and historic. The people we met were warm and welcoming and made us feel like we were a part of their everyday living. Between the little COOP, the bakery and the butcher shop we had everything we needed to prepare great meals. The meals that we would enjoy on the beautiful covered patio at the villa, with amazing views or in the spacious dining area inside. The villa is clean and very well kept. The five bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. Each bedroom had its own full bathroom with shower. The bathrooms had all the necessities including a hair dryer. There is also a sleeper sofa in one area. We planned a partial family reunion during our stay here. At one time we had twelve people (the youngest being eleven years old) in the villa at the same time. Everyone was comfortable and basically had their own space to go to if the craziness of family got to them. We all enjoyed the pool. - Especially the teenagers. It also has WiFi so that was a BIG plus for the teens. If there is one downfall it is that our time there was just too short. We would return to once again see our new friends and enjoy their warm hospitality. Thank you Pasqualina and Giuseppi for your kindness and attention. Your villa is a dream come true. Very sincerely, Tony and Luisa, USA
