YOUR SAFETY IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO US AT THIS TIME.

CASA ILLUMINATA is a fully renovated, luxuriously furnished 4-level town home in the center of a thriving medieval village 45 minutes west of Siena and an hour south of Florence. 2 bdrms/2 baths with tub and shower (one ensuite with 2nd floor bdrm, the other on main living level), central heat and air conditioning, 2 terraces. Bedrooms are on the 4th floor and the 2nd floor; living, kitchen and dining room on 3rd floor (which is one flight of stairs up from street level). Total living space is approx. 160 sq meters. Upstairs bedroom has a very large terrace with dining table and chairs, potted garden and chaises. The 2nd floor bedroom has a queen sized bed and space for up to two additional twin beds which are stored in the cellar and can be set up upon request. Large, L-shaped modern sofa with down wrapped cushions is comfortable for sleeping on additional person. Comfortably the house sleeps 5, but 2 more people can stay for an extra fee.
That's the house. It is positioned on the northern side (with the best view) of the loveliest little storybook village of 700 residents. We are right next door to La Pergola Pizzeria on one side and the smallest theater in Europe (67 seats) on the other. And two doors down is an artisan's workshop, Ammos, a treasure trove for those seeking original art to bring home from their travels. Radicondoli is like a trip back to sweeter, more innocent times. It has four bars, three restaurants, four churches, a variety of shops and services, two grocery stores, a butcher, a tourist office, a bank with ATM, and locally staffed volunteer ambulance service and the friendliest people you will ever meet.
There are festivals throughout the year: May 1 is Primo Maggio. The last weekend of June is the San Giovanni Festival; late July-first week of August is a major theater, dance, music and art festival with concerts in village spaces, piazzas and out in the countryside. Every Thursday night in July and August, Via Garibaldi (my street) is closed to traffic and an evening festival takes place with food, cocktails, live music and dancing--it's called the Notte di Giove, and it's a no-miss event! In early July and mid August the famous Palio di Siena horse race takes place in Siena, and I can connect you with a great tour guide and the option to purchase bleacher tickets to view the trials and main race. In late September we have the Festa della Madonna, which culminates in a candlelight procession through the village with our medieval Madonna della Mercedes fresco. In late October we have the Festa di San Simone e Giuda in the main piazza with roast chestnuts, sausages, chestnut cake and wine, as well as old fashioned children's games. Day trips to Chianti villages and wine country, Volterra, San Gimignano, Florence, Siena, San Galgano Abbey, Massa Marittima, Arezzo, Cortona, Pisa, the Mediterranean coastline and a great many more beautiful destinations are possible, though you will want to carve out some serious loafing in the village and at home time, because Radicondoli is such a beautiful slice of Paradise you will fall in love with it the moment you arrive!

Summary: A wonderful place to stay for a couple weeks. Great restaurant in town that we ate ate 4 times. A little remote because of the winding roads but ver easy to navigate. A very friendly information center with many ideas on where to do day trips. Siena is not too far away.

Summary: We stayed in Radicondoli for eight nights. The apartment is near the center of the village steps away from the best pizza restaurant for miles around. It also has the best view from the terrace. As for the apartment, it is clean has all the kitchen items you would want. YouTube how to operate a MOKA Italian Coffee Maker while here, you will not be disappointed. The top bedroom with the expansive terrace has the very best view. Village people are friendly and welcoming. We loved it.

Summary: La Casa Illuminata was an absolute dream. Modern conveniences throughout, beautiful bedrooms, each with their own private terrace, and a very comfortable living area for relaxing and reading. And the VIEWS! Incredible scenery that was different every morning - from sunshine one day to the mist that settled in the valley the next day. The town is small but lovely and offered us the quiet and serenity we were seeking. The people were great to meet and get to know. We went on a couple of day trips to San Gimignano and Volterra, each about an hour away by car. Great place and we would definitely stay there again. Nicola met us and showed us around when we arrived and he is a jewel - very kind and warm hearted. We loved our time there.

Summary: Roomy apartment on 3 levels well located to access all that Radicondoli offers (it's not a big town!). Property description is accurate. Well stocked kitchen, great views from the balconies, would stay again.

Summary: Extremely pleased with the location and the quality of the villa. Furnishings of the highest standard and kitchen fully equipped. Note the bedrooms are on the upper and lower levels with stairs to access. Radicondoli has restaurants, cafes and all other shops needed. Surrounded by Tuscan landscape it is a beautiful landscape with access to other well known places. Thank you for the opportunity to stay

Summary: We loved everything about our week long stay at Casa Iluminata. The house is spacious, beautifully decorated, with lovely bed linens, comfortable furnishings and fully equipped kitchen. The roof top terrace was our evening spot to enjoy a drink and take in the amazing view. The owner’s instructions and tips were great and the local manager was very accommodating and responsive. The town itself is lovely with several good restaurants especially Agriteca and not overrun with tourists. We hope to be lucky enough to return and stay here again.

Summary: We agree with all the other reviews. Beautifully maintained home right in the heart of a unique little village. We spent 5 nights there and already miss it. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook in a few nights. Communication from the owner and on-site manager was perfect. We took a cooking class and ate at the two main local restaurants (Agriteca and La Nazionale). The house is right next to the upscale pizza place so there is a little noise at night until 10:30-11:00 PM especially if you stay in the downstairs bedroom but it wasn't a hug deal. (We didn't eat there because all the locals say it's a ripoff at $20+ for a small pizza vs. $8 for one at Nazionale but it was popular with other tourists coming into town). A memorable trip.

Summary: Casa Illuminata Radicondoli by far exceeded our expectations. The three story home offers guests the unique opportunity to live as the locals live. The view from this beautiful home is absolutely stunning. The caretaker of the property was very helpful from the days leading up to our stay and throughout in making bookings and recommendations for dinner, cooking classes, local villages to visit, he was the most attentive host we have ever experienced. He met us at the door of the property (was so patient as we were a little late), he helped carry our bags into the house, showed us through each of the three floors, and came to help us again and say goodbye as we left. The village itself is beautiful, the people are friendly, lovely local restaurants just a couple of minutes walk from the house. Oh, and if you love to read, the house has an excellent selection of books to read. We will definitely be back, next time we will stay for longer!

Summary: Spectacular! Every rave review still falls short of the magic of this place. Comfortable, beautiful, located in an enchanting Tuscan hilltop village with few tourists, holding winding streets, alleys, panoramic views, restaurants and all a living, active village needs. Friendly people, a bar/restaurant opened to the street where people gathered late afternoon and evening. Well located for easy day trips to other villages and towns. But our favorite thing to do was, after a delicious dinner, we'd sit on the balcony off the top floor bedroom watching the swifts sail through a sunset that stretched over an unbroken 180 degree panoramic view of the Tuscan valleys and mountains stretching row after row to the North. While we stayed in Florence, visited Lucca and Bologna, and spent a week long family reunion in a beautiful Chianti villa, our 4 nights here was our favorite time. Given how crowded the major cities were, I'm not sure I'd return to Florence despite awe inspiring art and architecture. However, I would return to this place in a heart beat. Thank you Marlane for sharing this with us. It is a great gift for those who are fortunate to discover it.
