Come and enjoy the authentic Tuscan country life in stunning settings


Come and enjoy a taste of authentic Tuscan country life in stunning settings, amidst olive groves and vineyards tendered by a most hospitable family who run this organic farm and live in your hosts’ homestead or in newly refurbished independent apartments.


Podere La Fonte is situated in a most spectacular position just below the ancient castellated village of Radicondoli. It has magnificent uninterrupted views over the Cecina valley and the surrounding hills.

At night you can see the lights of Volterra, San Gimignano, Colle Val D'Elsa and many other villages nestling in the hills all around you. Florence is one hour away and Siena, Volterra and San Gimignano just forty minutes by road. Lovely local walks and natural pools in the nearby river Cecina. There are swimming pools within easy reach and in an hour you can drive to and enjoy sandy beaches just like the ancient Etruscan people did.

Your hosts Emanuela and Marco look forward to welcoming you to their home. They will also give you every assistance to help you discover and understand the opportunities offered by the surrounding countryside and tourist attractions. Whether you choose to stay put, or explore the surrounding countryside and famous sites, Podere La Fonte has the answer for you. You can choose to rent as little as one of the tree double rooms (with no cooking facilities), one of the two self catering apartments or all the accommodation on offer for a larger group .

Although there are no cooking facilities for the three rooms your hosts are happy to provide meals for an additional charge. Even for self caterers, why not take the chance to be served genuine good food made from local produce, lots of it produced by your hosts on the farm? You will not regret your choice and will be able to enjoy the farm's spacious eating.
