Il Casetto

We have just spent a week at magnificent Il Casetto. Beautifully decorated and superbly equipped - a breathtaking location amongst the vineyards and overlooking the valley towards Radda. A truly memorable time with family and friends. We enjoyed every minute of our time and would strongly recommend this holiday to anyone who wants to experience the best of Tuscany.

La Bottega in Volpaia is close and food is great. San Gimignano is a good day trip and the best gelato and pizza ever! We did a vesper drive through Gaioli to Brolio castle and through all the surrounding villages. Walks around the Volpaia area are incredible but steep. Sienna is lovely but busy. Radda is close and has all amenities. We atelunches out and about so it was lovely to come home to the villa every afternoon enjoy prosecco and a book at the pool and prepare meals together. Unforgettable time !

We were delighted with the villa and Francesco was extremely helpful with local knowledge and booking a hairdresser for my wife. The villa is extremely well equipped and easily accommodated our family of 5 adults and 2 children. Our grandchildren were never out of the pool. A beautiful place to stay.

We can highly recommend La Bottega in Volpaia (need reservations), La Botte di Bacco in Radda ( make a reservation) and Pizza Pie in Radda for the biggest and best pizzas ever.

We stayed at Il Casetto for a month (mostly in June) and found the facility and location excellent. The views are amazing. We had two different cooks come in and cook dinner and they said the kitchen was wonderful. We also cooked ourselves a lot and also found the kitchen well equipped. The weekly changing of sheets and towels was convenient, particularly with the many towels used at the pool. But the best part was the building manager, Francisco. With a facility this size with cable TV and air conditioning, you can expect some kind of problem, particularly in a month. Francisco was extremely responsive and pleasant to fix and complaint we hand (and they were mostly minor)

Ristorante Malborghetto in nearby Lecchi was our favorite. The cook and owner, Simone, gives fantastic cooking lessons, and personally greets diners. The Octopus Carpaccio salad at the Bistro in Radda is also worth trying.

Tolles Haus, wunderschön gelegen, sehr ruhig. Die Einrichtung ist sehr individuell und liebevoll, die Küche ist perfekt ausgestattet. Das Haus ist wirklich so schön wie auf den Fotos ersichtlich, die wunderschöne Lage in der tollen Umgebung erkennt man erst wenn man vor Ort ist.

Die Betten sind hart und leider keine Doppelbetten. Die Straße zum Haus ist eine Zumutung und nicht mit Sportwagen befahrbar! Mit einem SUV ist man gut beraten.

Sa situation,la tranquilite et le confort demla villa pour 4 couples.

La terrasse et tous les villages avoisinants

Breathtaking, stunning, out of this world..... we loved staying there! What a villa, the interior and exterior absolutely gorgeous! Location superb, love the villages around Il Casetto especially Radda. There are no words to describe how wonderful our stay was at Il Casetto.....

Lovely lovely lovely.....thank you, grazie, baie dankie!!!!!

La vue superbe sur les vignes et la piscine a débordement.
Rajouter un appareil de musique au niveau de la cuisine, salle a manger car l'existant est dans le salon (trop loin l'un de l'autre)

Restaurants Ala Piazza, la Bottega.

We had a wonderful week at this beautiful villa. It exceeded all of our expectations and was the perfect setting for a three generation holiday. The decor is very warm and inviting and it is a very comfortable place to enjoy Italy. The location is great as you can easily visit many interesting villages.

We ate at La Bottega and had a great meal. We had Andrea from Il Fiasco prepare dinner for us one night. I would highly recommend doing this.

The house was amazing, and the new pool was a big hit. It had a fantastic kitchen with everything we needed. The decor and look was very cool, indeed, and felt like home.
Wonderful, quiet and peaceful. Very comfortable.
It's a fairly new property, and an even newer pool. We had a number of issues that lasted through the week.
The keyholder "didn't have time" to get us our welcome hamper, so we had to run to the store after a LONG day of travel.
The A/C didn't work in 2 bedrooms. It was fixed in the master the next day, but never really worked in the other, and the outside temps were in the mid-90's all week
The living room was filled with bugs due to the doors not really blocking the outside. That's where they located the WiFI, and since it's a stone house, that's the only place you could access it. I moved it to an outlet near the kitchen, and it provided WiFi in the bedrooms and the outside dining table. I HIGHLY recommend you move it there permanently.
The water would sometimes not be hot, randomly, for 20-30 minutes - after no showers were taken. We washed dishes in cold water a number of times.
The pool stopped filling/filtering on the 5th day, and never turned on again.
I think you need to warn folks that the dirt road is really tricky and difficult. One in our party had an economy car that almost could not make it up the gravel, steep hills. The road to Volpaia is inaccessible by car.

The website says the closest market is in Volpaia, that is not true. The restaurants recommended in the book at the house were spot on.

Beautiful,serene setting. Wonderful solitude. Plenty of room for 8 people.
Smelled musty when we got in but after opening windows and doors, eventually the mustiness dissipated. Wifi did not work and was not fixed until Monday. TV service was not functioning well either. Air conditioning system was strained as was hot water. Difficult to open and lock-unlock door facing the parking area.

Restaurants in Greve, Radda and Volpaia were all friendly and enjoyable.

After many years of renting villas in Europe Il Casetto comes out top of the pops! The villa is beautifully decorated, it is comfortable and stylish, the pool is lovely and the view is superb and the area you find this villa in is one of the most beautiful you will find in Tuscany.

We had a lovely weeks stay at Il Casseto. The villa was perfect, well appointed the pool was amazing we swam every day.
Francesco who had the key was particularly helpful.
The proximity of Volpia was excellent.
This is one of the best Italian villas we have stayed n and we have had many holidays in Italy.
No the villa could not be bettered

Volta 10 minutes uphill a bar and a restaurant and wine tasting. Radha was lovely too as was Castello in Chianti great ice cream and underground shopping!

Very good villa large enough to allow 6 adults their own space
There were only four loungers for a property billed as suitable for 8 adults???

The local village( 15 min walk through vinyards) has both an excellent restaurant and decent bar

The best kitchen kit I've ever encountered: sharp sharp Wusthoff knives, tonnes of pots, pans, (lovely bone china) crockery, cutlery, glasses. Huge fridge freezer, gas hobs, great washing machine. Nice big kitchen dining room table for rainy days.

Al fresco meals under cool, shady vine trellace with huge views over surrounding vineyards to Radda; fabulous sunbathing terrace with excellent sunloungers and umbrella for shade.

Lovely 20-minute stroll up dirt road to Volpaia for pre-dinner drinks or meals at the two restaurants.

Beautiful bathrooms and bedrooms, great showers

Kids loved Sky TV in very cool, comfy, spacious lounge.

Good WiFi in lounge

Radda: Sandy's bar for SUPERB ice creams; leather shoe/bag shop; good kitchen shop. Also an excellent wee Coop with very good deli. We cooked in the villa every night except one, when we ate at La Bottega in Volpaia, where the food was excellent (wild boar, rabbit, homemade pasta etc), but the service a bit poor. Loved having a drink at the bar in the square in Volpaia. Fun gardens/monastery tour at Badia di Coltibuono, with wine-tasting on 5pm tour Nice lunch/ice-cream/capuccino visits to Castellina and Greve
