About this farm stay rental
Located in the stunning hills of central-western Tuscany and on the outskirts of the village of Radicondoli in the province of Siena, is Podere Ortone.
Ortone is a charming, eighteenth century, stone farmhouse set in an olive grove with beautiful views to the south and west. The estate consists of a main house with attached apartment, a swimming pool and a loggia for al fresco dining with spectacular views. Its secluded position away from other properties or roads, makes it ideal for a family holiday or for friends who want to relax in a tranquil, unspoilt part of Tuscany. The five bedroom, four bathroom property combines typical Tuscan architectural features such as terracotta floors, wooden beamed ceilings and open fireplaces with modern amenities such as en suites, bedroom air conditioning, wifi and satellite tv.
Linen, towels, pool towels, heating & electricity, mid weekend maid service (for two weeks or longer guests), use of amenities and a welcome pack (for one week or longer guests) are included in the rental price. Outgoing phone calls and the use of the swimming pool out of season are not included. In 2023, the pool is open from May 1st until September 30th.

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.

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!

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.

Ten of us (two families with grown-up children) stayed at Ortone for a week in early July and had the most wonderful holiday. The house, grounds and pool lived up to expectations in every respect – private, spacious, pristinely kept, exquisite views, lovely pool, just outside a village. The main bedrooms upstairs are beautifully furnished, with contemporary en-suite shower rooms. They were all very comfortable, including the ones in “the apartment” downstairs. The living room, dining room and kitchen (well-equipped) are well laid out (top class TV in the small upstairs lounge for watching some Wimbledon and the Euros + great selection of books and DVDs) although, because of perfect weather, we spent the vast majority of our time down by the pool or in the wonderful outdoor loggia, where there is a big table where we could all sit together and comfy chairs to read and play games. The pristine swimming pool has an exquisite view over the valley across and below the house, the evening light being particularly stunning. We all enjoyed the fire flies as dusk fell – having none of us ever seen them before, they compounded the magic of the place. We particularly enjoyed cooking in the kitchen, eating in the loggia, sunbathing on the loungers and dipping into the pool to cool off! We would also recommend Radicondole as a pretty & friendly Italian hill village (more heavenly views) – several times some of us walked up - slowly! as the drive and lane are very steep - to the village in the morning for bread & bits & bobs from the little Co-op, or in the evening for a drink at one of the three bar/restaurants. We all had an excellent meal at La Pergola – delicious food and breathtaking sunset from the terrace (we pre-booked our table for 10), and we also enjoyed a day trip to Siena and shorter trips to some of the nearby hill villages. The driving was easy as the local roads were good and seemed quite empty in early July. The owners gave us very helpful notes and instructions. They were very responsive and it felt that they had carefully and kindly thought of everything we might need to know and to make us feel welcome in their exquisite property. We would love to come back and enjoy the magic of Ortone again one day!
