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.

Paradise

Ortone was the perfect destination for what we envisioned a Tuscan city to be. The home was well stocked, wonderful location and our host helped with coordinating tours, cooking lessons and providing other recommendations. I highly recommend this property for anyone. Close to wineries, major cities and also the quiet laid back Italian lifestyle, Ortone is highly recommended! We spent the week in paradise!

Perfect Tuscan countryside vacation

Everything about Ortone was perfect - the villa is gorgeous, very clean, and the hosts' attention to detail did not go unnoticed. The view is AMAZING. I know everyone talks about the sheep grazing in the hillside but it really makes it so special. The town of Radicondoli is very quaint and pretty - wonderful for exploring. Neale is one of the best hosts I have ever had the pleasure of booking with. He helped plan our entire stay, from a private dinner to winery suggestions to pizza in the Loggia. He communicated every step of the way to ensure we would have a lovely time. I can't say enough about the villa, the town, Tuscany, or the hosts. We will definitely be back.

Heerlijke en bijzondere tijd in Podere-Ortonr

Een bevoorrechte plek om met onze familie de verjaardag van het oudste familie lid en paar dagen later het jongste familielid te vieren! Gezellig huis met views waar je naar moet blijven kijken. Sfeervolle loggia met een heerlijke pizzanight en de avond daarna een Italiaans feestdiner verzorgd door Liana en vriendin. Ook zelf gekookt in de goed geoutilleerde keuken. Geweldige tips van Neale gekregen tijdens makkelijk en plezierig contact. Komen zeker terug! Vinden het een hemelse plek om te verblijven!

Wow just wow

This was hands-down the most amazing vacation rental we have ever had—and we have traveled all over the world and have been to Tuscany many times. The house was homey but also beautiful and is such a loving restoration! The solar heated pool and outdoor loggia were incredible and our hosts were amazing! Neale helped us arrange a pizza chef to cook us the most amazing meal in the pizza oven and sent us to his friend’s B&B and an amazing restaurant one town over. Our teenagers were able to walk to town to get coffee and gelato and the house was perfectly maintained by the caretaker who came early each morning and never disturbed us. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Neale & Elaine Safaty

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.
