we hebben ontzettend genoten van het verblijf in deze villa. de tuin, t zwembad, de jacuzzi, alles was fantastisch! de rust en stilte, de uitzichten. dat beviel meer dan goed. er waren wel een aantal zaken verouderd zoals de terrasstoelen, waren er maar vier terwijl het een 8 persoonshuis is. en twee waren er stuk. in t huisje was t lattenbodem ve bed kapot. keukendoeken waren er minimaal, 1 of 2 welgeteld, daar kun je geen 10 dagen mee doorkomen. de kussens van de ligstoelen bij het zwembad waren erg vies en versleten. Annie heeft ons nieuwe gebracht. Roberto heeft de stoelen gerepareerd. we kregen een extra schoonmaakdienst en extra schone handdoeken. plus dat de airco in sommige ruimtes waar we bijna niet verbleven volop koelde en t op de slaapkamer te warm bleef. dit is ook aangepast. geen klagerij, zo bedoel ik het niet maar we vonden dat we dit wel konden melden, we betalen toch de hoofdprijs voor deze mooie villa en dan mag je ook verwachten dat het allemaal klopt. maar we hebben ontzettend genoten van deze bijzonder mooie plek in Chianti.....

we hebben diverse restaurants bezocht. een aantal welke ook in het boek vermeld stonden. heerlijk gedineerd en ook met een fantastisch uitzicht. Florence, Sienna, Panzano, een winery. scootertocht door de heuvels van Chianti, fantastisch!

Villa isolée et agréable, très belles vues, maison en belles vielles pierres.
Chemin d'accès un peu difficile sans 4X4.

Amazing

Once we found it, we learned to love it! it IS a long way off the beaten track though and that first evening, lost and tired after travelling all day was very frustrating due to the directions not being adequate and the lady who was to welcome us not having sufficient english to help us. We were also very disappointed not to find a welcome pack of any kind - none of the usual bread, milk and eggs kind of thing we've already had before with many past rentals. Would have saved us from having to go all the way back out again to find a shop still open.
Other than that - it's a beautifully appointed property in gorgeous surroundings, very stylishly furnished and comfortable. The Summer house, where the fourth bed is, not so much. The pool, steam room and garden are great. But you need to be willing to get in the car and drive for min 15 mins to get anywhere or anything.

The family-owned and run Loggia in the village of Radda was our top pick. Really authentic Tuscan food lovingly cooked and great local small estate wines. The chef who catered for us one night on the villa administrator's recommendation was also wonderful - again local food cooked with care.

Die Location war sensationell und hat unserer Erwartungen vollstens erfüllt. Der einzige Änderungswunsch wäre die Zufahrtsstraße, da diese eher nur für einen Geländewagen befahrbar ist. Regelmäßige, kleinere Ausbesserungen mit Kies wären wünschenswert.

Wunderschönes Haus mit weitläufigem, sehr gepflegtem Grundstück in sehr ruhiger Lage. - Das Haus ist sehr individuell und hochwertig eingerichtet, was uns sehr begeistert hat. Die Außenanlage ist sehr gepflegt und der Pool ist toll. Die Anreise ist etwas abenteuerlich und wir waren sehr froh, dass wir mit zwei SUVs unterwegs waren. Das SPA Haus hätte etwas gepflegter sein können.

We all thought it was terrific… Might be an issue for older people because of stairs and split level… Everybody was very responsive to anything we needed or couldn’t figure out ourselves… Loved the pool… The only thing I would suggest is large drinking glasses… Maybe I just couldn’t find them… I would definitely recommend you guys for friends looking for a place

Radda is a charming town… The specialty grocery store is very nice… I will tell you that I really dislike the vestine restaurant … Unfriendly service, uneven service… Was my worst night in the two works that I was there…

We had a wonderful holiday at Lo Spugno. The villa is beautiful, and very spacious, so we weren't all on top of each other. And the setting is amazing. The various dining areas all worked perfectly - the outside terrace was perfect for lunches and early evening drinks. We loved the pool, which was a very good size, and greatly appreciated by the teenagers, and the spa was an added bonus.

our favourite restaurants were La Loggia del Chianti La Perla del Palazzo If you want pizza, then Pizza Pie, with its enormous sharing pizzas can't be beaten. We booked the chef, Monica , for two evenings, and her food was wonderful - can't recommend her enough - plus she's really lovely.

We have stayed here before so the property was obviously a place we liked and enjoyed. The property is extensive, and generally very well equipped, though we spent most of our time outside by the pool. The pool and pool area are lovely, and certainly the best we have had when holidaying in Tuscany.
We had some minor issues with wi-fi and the shower drain but To Tuscany and the maintenance staff responded promptly and the matters were resolved very quickly.
The property is certainly to be recommended and is secluded and peaceful, but within easy reach of Radda and Castellina.

In Radda Casa Porciatti is a wonderful deli with a neighbouring wineshop and restaurant (serving lovely light meals). For a good caffe in Radda try Palazzo San Niccolo in the main square. Service can be a little patchy but it is a lovely place to have a coffee or a glass of wine. To be fair there are a number of restaurants worth trying in Radda, so it is certainly worth a good explore. There are regular markets in Radda with two fruit and veg markets during the week, and a small fresh fish market on Fridays. In Panzano there is a good street market on Sunday mornings, though an early start is important as parking is restricted. Sadly, the Accademia del Buon Gusto at Panzano is no more with the passing of the owner Stefano. His entertaining and lively introduction to lovely Chianti wines was always a must. Castellina is certainly worth a visit. If you approach from Radda you get a stunning view of the town dominated by its castle keep. There a many good shops selling wine, cheese, pasta, leather etc., and a very good gelateria. We ate in the restaurant of Palazzo Squarcialupi. The food is varied and very good, and if you eat on their veranda you have stunning views over the surrounding countryside.
