Wonderfull views

Geweldige locatie om helemaal tot rust te komen in een prachtig landschap. Vanuit de hoofdslaapkamer kijk je uit op de bergen waardoor je direct je dag goed kan starten. De locatie is goed afgelegen waardoor je in alle rust en stilte kan genieten. Het huis heeft vele faciliteiten, noem het op en het is aanwezig. sommige zaken waren wel in iets verouderd en dienen te worden vernieuwd zoals bv de strandstoelen en kookgereedschap. Voor kinderen waren er vele voorzieningen, speelhuisje, speelgoedjes, basketbalring, allemaal goed verzorgd en netjes. Over de toegangsweg is al veel geschreven in de recensies, deze is dan de ook wel een echte uitdaging de eerste keren. Maar na wat gewenning in de bergen valt dit steeds beter mee. Uiteindelijk hebben we dit ook in het donker aangedurfd en ook dit kunnen we zeker aanraden. Je hebt een prachtig zicht op de vele verlichte dorpjes in de buurt. Echt ook een aanrader.

A beautiful location but requires some improvement

Let me start with the positive aspects - the location is indeed beautiful - the views of the mountains and the castle of Radicofani, the gardens with many fruit trees (fig, apple, pear), the delicious grapes on the vine, the enormous infinity pool which was large enough for us to swim short laps (although a little cold since due to the draught there was no hot spring water in the pool), and the house was more than big enough for a family of 5 with 3 young-adult children. The house was also cleaned once during our 9-night stay which was a nice bonus, and the pool was cleaned every day. The high-speed internet, which was very important for us, worked very well. Communication with the owner was very easy, via whatsapp, and he was always responsive to our questions. He gave us good directions and we took an easy hike down to the river (which was dry due to the draught), which I would recommend. The negative aspects, most of which are easy to solve, are as follows: the furniture, especially the living room sofas, urgently need to be replaced. They were extremely uncomfortable to sit on and you could feel the springs. Likewise, most of the mattresses, except for one, need to be replaced. Finally, it would have been nice to have more amenities available (e.g., the owner only supplied one roll of toilet paper per bathroom so we had to buy more but now the next renters will have a better supply, no replacement garbage bags were supplied, etc.). Other houses that we have rented in Europe were better supplied. The final point, that I think anyone who is renting should be aware of, is the road that you need to take to get to the house. From Celle Sul Rigo you must drive on a gravel road for 3 km, and the final km is a steep incline, with the final few meters before the house paved. We had rented a regular car, with which we were able to drive on the dirt road, but a jeep or 4-wheel drive would have made the ride much easier. Due to the steep dirt road, we were nervous about returning after dark, and always returned before sundown. Despite the above, all in all we had a very pleasant and memorable stay.

Mooi en geweldig zicht

In het begin was de communicatie een beetje moeilijk. Maar de eigenaar heeft alle problemen mooi opgelost vanop afstand. Het huis is ideaal om tot rust te komen. Maar hier en daar zijn er wel wat opfrissingen nodig. Het zwembad was geweldig dit samen met het uitzicht. Het was een toffe vakantie.

Falsche Angaben in der Beschreibung, Inventar kaputt und veraltet

Die Bilder in der Beschreibung zeigen ein sehr idyllisches Domizil, eine Finca in der Toskana. Die Buchung und der erste Kontakt mit dem Eigentümer ging problemlos. Der Vermieter war sehr bemüht und auch sehr angenehm. Wir sind etwas früher am Haus angekommen da wie die Zeit nicht genau abschätzen konnten. Der Weg dort hin war eine große Herausforderung. Für uns kein Problem da wir ein Allrad als Mietwagen hatten. Für unsere Freunde, die zweite Familie war es der Horror. Die Mutter unserer Freunde ist am Berg oben ausgestiegen, weil sie die Abfahrt zum Haus absolut verängstigt war. Ich denke mit einem vernünftigen Auto sollte es nicht schlimm sein, allerdings sollte das in der Beschreibung erwähnt sein, dass die Abfahrt zum größten Teil aus Schotter weg besteht, der eine Neigung von bestimmt 15% hat und links und rechts es den Hang hinunter geht. Nun gut, angekommen und geblendet von der traumhaften Aussicht und Lage konnten war dann das Haus betreten. Was die Sauberkeit betrifft war es eine absolute Katastrophe. Wir haben den restlichen Tag verschwendet um die komplette Küche zu säubern. Besteckt, Geschirr, Kühlschrank etc. war alles dreckig. Zu dem kam dazu, dass wir sämtliche Decken Bezüge vom Sofa etc alles waschen mussten weil diese total unangenehm war. Sogar Blutflecken auf dem Bettbezug. Eine absolute Katastrophe. Nun gut nach dem wir es uns einigermaßen akzeptabel eingerichtet haben mussten wir feststellen das sämtliches Inventar Schrott war. Ob Stühle, Regale, Schränke, Sofa. Wir waren 9 Personen und hatten nicht genug liegen. Fast alle Poolliegen mit Draht repariert so dass man sich an den Enden verletzt hat. Das Sofa kaputt, man konnte sich dort nicht hinsetzen weil es nach hinten kippte. Das einzige was in Ordnung war, war das Trampolin für die Kinder. Die Fußballtore so wie in der Beschreibung abgebildet hat es nicht gegeben. Sämtliches Kinderspielzeug kaputt, gebrochen und mit Verletzungsgefahr. Die Toiletten Brille war defekt so dass man auf dem unteren Klo ohne Brille sich setzen musste. Am letzten Tag vor der Abreise wurde dieser erst erneuert. Was uns aber auch absolut verärgert hat, war das in der Beschreibung Klimaanlage steht welche nicht vorhanden ist. Der Vermieter zeigte uns einen Auszug aus der englischen Beschreibung dass dort Ventilator steht. Unsere Meinung nach ist das Betrug. Man wirbt mit Dingen die nicht Vorhand sind. Fazit: unsere Freunde sind 2 Tage früher abgereist. Schade um das schöne Haus.

About the host

Hosted by Paolo

I am a former banker living in Rome and London with my family. I was educated in England where I did my undergraduate studies. I travel a lot in Asia where I have most of my businesses. I would be happy to welcome you to my new Farmhouse should you choose this location for your holidays.

Why they chose this property

During winter 2004 I was going fishing with a bunch of friends in Val d'Orcia, next to a river named Rigo, all of a sudden I saw a mass of ancient stones dating 1600, that was the rest of the so called Podere Banditelle. It took me six years to restore it as the original plan. it is a real paradise in a lovely and unique valley Val D'Orcia, with cosy restaurants nearby. It was a real dream for me that became reality, an old 15th century farmhouse restored as it was in the ancient time but with all modern comforts you may expect from a top luxury accommodation. The trails along the rigo river bed offers mediterranean flora and atmosphere.

What makes this property unique

The property is in the middle of charming Tuscany country side, South of Siena next to Montepulciano and facing Radicofani from windows and pool.The farmhouse is facing a river and no other houses or people are nearby. You are totally into wild nature and silence. If you want to relax that's the place! Further,3 miles from the house (5 minutes driving) you get to the best SPA in Italy with its natural hot spring water, highly recommended for your skin and body treatments.The volcanic origins of Monte Amiata just 10miles from the house,come to light to thermal springs in Bagno Vignone,San Casciano dei Bagni.Made famous by illustrious regular visitors such as Lorenzo il Magnifico Medici and Saint Catherina from Siena, the springs of San Casciano dei bagni have been enjoyed since Roman times.
