About the home

'Il Susino' is a self contained apartment in lush green surroundings. It is the ideal accommodation for two, but can also be rented jointly with Il Noce della Fonte (see details) for larger groups who like to holiday together and yet enjoy an element of independence. This fully centrally heated unit also has the benefit of a welcoming wood-burning stove within the kitchen/dining room so it is quite a cosy corner if you choose to spend time here in the colder months. The bathroom is fully equipped and you will have the choice of shower and bathtub! The owners have furnished the apartment in simple old Tuscan style, mostly wood. The floor is in handmade tiles and the ceiling in tiles and wood. Outside amidst the splendid views there is a patio with table and chairs reserved for you to rest, admire the landscape or to enjoy al fresco eating.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Il Susino owners live at the nearby Podere La Fonte (which offers a further self catering unit suitable for four people, and three double rooms within the main farmhouse) They also offer their own produce (wine and oil and other) for sale and would be happy to cater for you by prior arrangement.

The arrival to "La Fonte"

The Tuscany / Siena Province region

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, who live two minutes walk away, 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.

The Radicondoli area

The village of Radicondoli is a perfectly preserved historic village with good restaurants, pizzerias and bars. There are shops selling local produce, a bakery for fresh bread each morning.

“Surprise Arrivals!” Despite several exchanges of e-mails, including advising our anticipated arrival time at Podera della Fonte, which was just 10 minutes out, there was no-one there to meet us! It turned out Emanuela had been on a family celebration in Rome and was "unwell" at some other location. We were lucky to find her daughter passing through, purely by chance, so after some delay we got into the apartment. But the arrival instructions as to the facilities were virtually non existent, and we learned more from a German couple in the Il Noce apartment when we met them the next day. So not a brilliant start, and the apartment was very cool to cold, it being early in the season. It seems that Italian law insists central heating is not available from April onwards for the summer. It's a simple, adequate apartment for two persons, though quite dark and somewhat gloomy for the most part. But a short stroll, seriously uphill for a while, takes you to the nice hilltop village where there are a couple of OK restaurants and a couple of small shops. On the terrace side of the Podere, the views are simply stunning, especially towards sunset. Take your drinks and nibbles round to the terrace. It was too early in the year to sample the farm produce, (apart from the wine) but once we met Emanuela and Marco things became more informed and they were most hospitable, to say the least. Coupled with the almost countless farm cats - we think there were at least 10 and some invited themselves inside from time to time. We had a peek at Il Noce apartment after the German family left and it is certainly a much brighter, more comfortable apartment -at a cost of course. However, you don't spend much time "at home", and Radicondoli is well placed for trips to anywhere in southern Tuscany, notably Siena, Montepulciano, San Gimignano, Chianti, Volterra and even the coast, though the hilly terrain makes distance driving quite slow. So Il Susino is a good simple base for a couple wanting to do the tourist stuff, but not really a place built for a "chill out" sit-around break.

Guestbook for Il Susino della Fonte

Dear Emanuela and Marco!
We loved sitting under the wall nut tree watching the beautiful sunset and tasting vegetables and wine from Podere la Fonte. it was so nice and"family-like"here.(We never thought that the entrance to paradise would lie in Radicondoli....). Thank you for everything! Beate and Heinz (Germany)
