Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Set in a hamlet among vine-covered hills, this home is one of eleven houses, with origins dating back to 1400. There’s a flower and plant-filled private garden and shaded terrace perfect for alfresco meals, while the beautiful large pool is shared – it’s located a short stroll from the home and has incredible views. Inside the cottage, it’s quite traditionally styled, as you’d expect and there’s a fireplace, for when the weather turns cold. With all the wonderful vistas, you may be happy staying put, but that would be a shame, as the charming town of Radda with its narrow cobbled streets, is just a few kilometres away.

Home truths
The pool area is a short stroll away from the home and it is shared with ten other properties on the estate.
The decor here is traditional, so if you like modern, it may not suit you.
The swimming pool is only available between 15 May and 30 September.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high for a small fee. You'll need to request them in advance.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's communal parking adjacent to this home, but please note the access road is steep, unpaved and uneven, so we recommend a high clearance vehicle and the general area may only appeal to experienced drivers.
