Il Boschetto, La Villa - Radda in Chianti - Siena

Would you like to translate?

Jolie propriété permettant à 6 personnes adultes de ne pas se sentir les uns sur les autres et de profiter d'un confort certain. La piscine et la table de ping pong (même si les raquettes sont un peu vielles) procurent d'agréables moments. L'environnement offre la tranquillité à laquelle on aspirait tout en ayant le village de Rada et ses facilités à proximité. Les propriétaires sont agréables et efficaces, ceux ci venant régulièrement pour entretenir piscine et fleurs tout en restant discrets.

Sienne vaut bien plus qu'un jour de visite, notamment lors des préparatifs du palio, l'après palio permettant d'en profiter plus sereinement. San Gimigniano aussi malgré les difficultés de stationnement. Dommage que Florence soit si fréquentée durant le mois d'août, il faut réserver à l'avance ...Les petits villages fortifiés autour de Rafa et Gaiole. Les épiceries fines de Rada, et macelleria de Greve in Chianti.

This was our second time at Il Boschetto and it's in a great location for exploring Tuscany. The bedrooms are all comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped. There is some road noise but this is outweighed by the proximity to Radda. The pool, although above-ground, is a good size and it's private. Recommend for big groups and families.

Magnifique villa très bien entretenue et situation calme.
Fleurs et piscine entretenus tous les deux jours par une très gentille dame.

Radda est un très beau village ( attention aux prix toutefois élevés des restaurants...) La visite du domaine Tenuta La Novela est à faire absolument! Florence somptueuse mais bondée.. ..

Ein sehr schönes Haus, verkehrsgünstig gelegen und mit viel liebe zum Detail ausgestattet. Alles da, was für einen Urlaub benötigt wird, incl Handtücher für den Pool. Sehr schönes, gepflegtes Grundstück. Alle zwei Tage wird von der Vermieterin und ihrem Mann der Pool gereinigt und die zahlreichen Blumen gegossen. Sehr nette Vermieter. Jederzeit wieder..

Das Haus ist hervorragend ausgestattet, so dass es eine Freude ist, dort gemeinsam zu kochen. Die Spülmaschine und alle anderen elektr. Geräte funktionierten super. Auch die Waschmaschine! Der Außenbereich mit Grill und Pizzaofen hat uns auch sehr gut gefallen. Die Anlage liegt sehr schön, ruhig und die gepflegten Blumen und der Garten mit Pool sind unbeschreiblich schön. Die Bilder auf der Homepage entsprechen den Tatsachen, es ist wirklich sooooo schön dort. Alles sehr geschmackvoll mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet.
Einziger kleiner Kritikpunkt ist die Zufahrtsstraße: Wir sind alle mit unseren Autos bei der Ein- und Ausfahrt aufgesessen!!

ich kann dieses Haus wirklich jedem empfehlen der in die Toskana so richtig eintauchen möchte.

Villa was very clean and well equipped and accommodated 3 couples comfortably. Only item missing is a tumble dryer... we had some rain so could not leave clothes out to dry all of the time.
Only criticism was re access into and from the property. It is very steep and uneven with a severe turn.
It was however good value and we would use it again.

Panzano wine festival. Malborghetto Ristorante in Lecchi. EXCELLENT.

Ein sehr komfortables Haus, sehr gut ausgestattet (inkl. Reinigungsmittel) und gepflegt. Geschmackvolle Einrichtung. Großes Plus: der Pizza-Ofen. Sehr freundliche Vermieter. Es hat alles gut funktioniert. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!

Absolutely beautiful setting with excellent facilities. This is the second time we have stayed at the property. Still as wonderful and especially the pool area this time of the year. Immaculate and everything provided. A superb place to stay in the Chianti area.

We've been to Tuscany many times and Il Boschetto was among the best accommodation we've ever had - it was certainly the cleanest and best maintained. Very easy access to Radda, the pool is very good (although north facing) and the villa is very comfortable and well-equiped. My only downside was that it is a little too close to a road, but that is only because I prefer to be located 2km down a dirt track. Any road noise was not intrusive at all. I recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay at Il Boschetto. The villa is perfectly planned, a luxury to have a bathroom with each bedroom and a well equipped kitchen. The outside area is very nice and the garden is beautiful, not to speak of the views! The pictures really does not make the surroundings or the villa justice. Everything about the stay was over our expectations.
Big thanks to the owners who was very friendly and took well care of us, the villa and garden.

Dont miss a trip to Volpaia and a trip to the beautiful vineyard of Colle Bereto.

The villa was extremely comfortable and the views from the terrace were spectacular. The pool looked wonderful and I imagine would be well used in the Summer. Renza was extremely helpful and provided extra wood for the fire when the weather turned much colder. We did use the heating for a couple of days which was great. It wa about 13 euros for 6 hours which was fine. I would definitely recommend il boschetto. Grazie Renza per tutto.

The restaurant nearest the villa is excellent. It is worth a trip as the food is really delicious.

We were extremely pleased with the villa and it was very well looked after. It was easy to find and we a good location - close to Radda Coop (supermarket) and a short drive to Gaiole (which has some great restaurants). It is not far from Siena and only a 45 minute drive from Florence, where we parked outside of the city to take the tram into Florence city centre. The villa was very comfortable, spacious, clean and had everything we needed. The view from the villa is breathtaking, which made our stay even better!

Towns and cities: Siena, Castellina in Chianti, Villa Vignamaggio, Florence! Restaurants: Le Contrade (Gaiole), Savoy (Florence)

Wir waren jetzt zum 2ten Mal da und waren wieder zufrieden. Renza war wieder super nett. Endlich auch ein Geschirrspüer.Was nicht so toll war das man als Wiederkehrer keine Stammkundenbonus.

Pizza Pie in Radda

We had a marvellous week in Il Boschetto - so relaxing and pleasurable that we are keen to return some day. We were two families, one with a 15 year old, and one with no children. That we each had our own bedrooms and bathrooms was the height of luxury. In addition to being exactly as the photos show, we were surprised by the fact that the villa has fruit trees on its grounds and is so spacious. We were impressed with the care in terms of cleaning and attention to detail for all possible needs. We arrived in high heat, had worried about being cool enough and found that the fans were more than sufficient. The villa is well equipped with modern mosquito screens and there was no issue at all. Our night of in-home cooking by Fiasco was memorable, as were the long evenings watching the sun set from our pool. Using the outdoor wood barbecue was a real treat too. The care taken for the flowers and pool cleaning, and the ease of communicating with the caretakers once we got there is commendable. This was our second rental via To Tuscany, and we would highly recommend it. The only recommendation we would make is to install a mirror at the top of the drive as the entry/exit from the gravel driveway on to SR429 is a bit of a blind corner. Our thanks to Letizia and Rezza for all the care and attention - molto grazie! We hope we can get back to this heavenly spot one day.

Radda is very pleasant and the Casa dei Porciatti is worth it for food shopping and for lunches. Vertine is a delight, as is Volpaia.

Everything was wonderful - except the wasps, bees and hornets. Be sure to bring spirals if you're there in June a and July. Otherwise it couldn't have been better.

Set on a beautiful Tuscan hillside amongst olive trees and vines lies the villa Il Boshetto. The pool and gardens are truly beautiful and the villa is large well equipped yet traditional. We enjoyed sunny days having breakfast on the terrace and watching birds bees and lizards going about their daily routines. We did have some rain and thunderstorms whilst were at the villa but it did not spoil the overall experience. You are in the midst of working olive farms so there was occasional noise when people were busy in the fields but overall it was a tranquil relaxing holiday and a good place to explore both Florence, Siena ,Pisa and many more smaller towns and villages.

We enjoyed a visit to the Montemaggio vineyard a beautiful drive up the hillside to the vineyard where we were met by Denis who conducted both the tour and wine tasting. It was well worth the €20 charge. We also visited Florence,Siena and Pisa. Volpaia Castellina and of course Radda are very pretty too. We ate in a little restaurant in Villa which was within walking distance from the villa which prepared traditional Tuscan dishes and it was good value for money and the food was well cooked and well presented. We also ate in the La Perla in Radda which was basic but the food was fine. We also took the opportunity to have a chef come and prepare cook and serve a meal at the villa which was well worth the money. The meal was well cooked and well presented it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening.
