Tenuta Lo Spugno, Radda in Chianti - Siena and Chianti

Tenuta Lo Spugnò è un luogo di pace,serenità e silenzio.Completamente immerso nella natura, all’arrivo può sembrare scomodo per via della lunga strada non asfaltata, che peraltro è tenuta egregiamente, ma non appena la vista coglie la vallata e la casa in pietra curata nei dettagli, ci si ritrova in una dimensione dimenticata ai nostri tempi.
Ricordiamo ogni giorno e ogni sera passata allo Spugno con piacere e nostalgia.
Una gemma incastonata tra le dolci colline del Chianti, la sua brezza serale, il cielo stellato è un impagabile silenzio.

La cittadina di Radda è molto graziosa e offre molti luoghi di ristoro e piccoli negozi, molto bella e molto curata, persone gentili e accoglienti

The Villa was fantastic, the pool, gardens and spaces in the house suited our group of 8.

Great place, marvelous scenery and a wonderful villa. Totally recommend

We had a wonderful time. The house was beautiful and the views ! Super spa option, we spent days there. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience :) love Italy !

It was nice if there is a dryer to dry my clothes after washing them. The ac system is locked, so we either turn it on 24 hours or turn it off completely. It’s nice to be able to reduce or turn them off while we are outside most of the day. I think it’s very important to have a water gallon for drinking and tea and coffee. In Sicily they gave us one for free and the next one for 8 euros. Other than these comments, the house was so nice, the pool was inviting.

We were four couples looking for the dream vacation in a Tuscan villa in Chianti and Lo Spugno more than exceeded our expectations! The villa, while somewhat more challenging to reach on the steep dirt road, is absolutely beautiful, overlooking the hills of Chianti and the villa's own vineyard and olive tree grove. The summer kitchen and accompanying outside terrace is divine. We also spent plenty of time around the pool and enjoyed the whirlpool and sauna. The garden and villa are very well-maintained and I suspect we will back in the future!

Tenuta Lo Spugno is a beautiful villa. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The grounds are beautiful along with the pool and spa. The stonework throughout makes the entire place feel magical. We also had a chef prepare a meal for us while in the villa and had a cooking class as well. Thanks for a fabulous stay!

We stayed at this property for five days in mid-April and included two couples. The property is beautiful, quiet, and peaceful and we enjoyed our stay in lovely Tuscany.
Positives: Spacious rooms nicely decorated, lovely property
Not so Positives:
-We did not know that the property was gated until two weeks before checking in. This was fine, however, whenever we had guests (car services, private chef, etc.) we had to get in our car and drive to the gate to let them in, even though there appears to be an intercom system within the villa. Renters should be able to use this system to let people onto the property. Also, on the keychain there were six different keys for the various buildings on the property, they should be labeled.
-We checked in on a Sunday and did not have a 'meet and greet' with To Tuscany so were left to wander around and review the property on our own. We had to look all around for the washer and were disappointed to find that it was an extremely tiny capacity washer, could only wash 3-4 items at a time in a cycle. Since this was in the extra guest house, there is plenty of room for a full-sized washer.
-The ground level shower was so clogged the first day that the water overflowed all over the bathroom.
-One of the main level showers was moldy and we had to clean it up.
- Insect issues in various areas of the house: by the front door there were swarms of bees; Ants and beetles in the bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen.
-We did not use the wellness center at all during our stay and never changed the temperatures but had to pay for heating the hot tub anyway.

We loved Malborghetto Ristorante in Lecci. We also had a private chef from Chef Tales to make us dinner at the villa that was wonderful. Also highly recommend cooking class at Albola Castle, we thoroughly enjoyed the activity, including the wine tasting. Radda in Chianti is a nice nearby town where were were able to get supplies and bakery items
