A wonderful fortnight in the Tuscan countryside
We spent a wonderful two weeks in Ortone - it's a lovely property with views to die for. The property is effectively divided into three - two double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms upstairs, one double bed with an en suite downstairs and two other bedrooms in a separate bit of the property: perfect for a family with teenagers. We spent lots of time in the pool, which is helpfully shaded for much of the day (note however the shallow end isn't very shallow if you have kids who aren't confident swimmers). Neale's copious directions and restaurant advice were very helpful. Lots of wildlife - we saw deer and some very tame hares. Strongly recommend pizza evening! I have given 5 stars for everything but the location is quite remote. That's exactly what we wanted, but be aware the nearest large supermarket and major towns are 30 minutes plus away.

Amazing villa in Radicondoli!
What a fantastic stay in Radicondoli!! We loved every minute. The villa itself is gorgeous with 5 very spacious bedrooms, a well appointed kitchen, beautiful artwork throughout, a gym, and a lovely outdoor dining area. Each morning, we would eat breakfast outside and watch across the hills as the sheep would graze before the sun got too hot. We loved lounging by the gorgeous pool. The town of Radicondoli is so sweet, and the villa is central to other surrounding towns (highly recommend to Volterra).

Wonderful house in a lovely, quiet location
7 of us (ages ranging from 13 to 76) stayed at Ortone for two weeks in August and had a wonderfully relaxing holiday. The house has modern amenities but is beautifully decorated and retains its charm and character. The air conditioning in the bedrooms is very welcome but the main areas of the house stay relatively cool even on the hottest of days. We spent a lot of time in the loggia - dining, reading, painting and relaxing - it is a perfect space.The view from the well-equipped pool area is stunning and the more active among us had pool races, table tennis tournaments and visited the gym. The house is in a very secluded location (it is difficult to see it from any vantage point in the area) approximately 1km below Radicondoli. It is a challenging uphill walk into town but we did it many times as we were never in a hurry and the scenery was breathtaking. Radicondoli is a charming place and we made daily use of the bakery, small shops, bar and restaurants. We also visited Siena, San Gimignano and Monteriggioni which were all very impressive but we didn't feel the need to travel too far as we had everything we wanted at Ortone. The owners could not have been more helpful and genuinely do everything they can to ensure you have a great holiday. We received a lovely welcome pack (including olive oil from Ortone's grove which surrounds the house), suggestions of places to visit (along with the best times to go) and they even booked the best table at their favourite restaurant in Radicondoli for us on arrival. Their attention to detail was very much appreciated. Ortone is a wonderful property and has left us with some precious memories.

Perfect Family Getaway
Our family group, two couples, four children ranging from 9 to 16 sent a blissful 3 weeks at Ortone this summer. We have stayed in many villas over the years, but this was definitely the best ever. The house is beautifully decorated with every necessary amenity. The bedrooms are large and airy, with the option of air conditioning when the heat gets too much. The pergola outside is perfect for dining al fresco, with beautiful views over the valley. The pool is large, with plenty of sun beds, umbrellas and loads of games should the need take you to move! We had table tennis and badminton tournaments and the really active visited the gym. The owners provided us with a fantasy welcome pack outlining the best in local restaurants and lots of suggestions for day trips and sightseeing too. The problem is that Ortone is so glorious, it's almost impossible to leave! The caretaker, Pierluigi, maintains the grounds perfectly and his wife comes in one a week to clean. It was immaculate and nothing we asked was too much. While in this area we would recommend trips to Siena, Volterra and if going further afield, up to Florence and the coast. There are three restaurants in the village that Neale recommends, we tried and loved all of them.

About the host

Hosted by Neale & Elaine Safaty

Host profile image
We completed on Ortone in July 2011 and have spent several years upgrading and improving the property. It's been great fun sourcing antiques, furniture and art from local dealers, craftsmen and artists; a lot of which has been bespoke.

Radicondoli is a pretty village and we've made some really good friends, both locals and ex pats.

Why they chose this property

We discovered the charming village of Radicondoli when we stayed at La Suvera in Pievescola and fell in love with the area. When we began our house search in earnest, we were fortunate enough to come across Ortone which lies to the south of the village in a very sunny, yet sheltered position. The property had been restored in the early 1970s but needed a significant refurbishment. We have spent a considerable time at the house across all seasons and it really feels like home.

What makes this property unique

The tranquil and private setting and outstanding views as well as the proximity to the village, made Ortone ideal for us. Relaxing with family & friends in the loggia, whether it's for a bite to eat, a pre-dinner Martini or just playing games there or happy hour around the pool enjoying the views, are the memories that are dear to us.
