Il Pozzo di Radi

A remarkably cute, friendly fat sausage dog greets you first. The room was clean, with a nice, typical country feel, and stayed surprisingly cool in summer even without the air conditioner. The couple were very friendly, and their daughter can help if you need to speak English. We didn’t manage much conversation because of the language barrier, but they still made it feel like home. Breakfast was basic but filling. We ate dinner there most days. The choice is limited, which works well if you’re indecisive, and the portions and prices were decent. If you want a homey Italian countryside stay without anything fancy, palozzo radi is a good fit.

Old as a fairy tale, with a great view. So quiet, but somehow still exciting out there.

Such a beautiful place.

The restaurant menu isn’t huge, but everything they do serve is top-notch. We tried the excellent cured meats, cheeses, crostini and pickles, plus delicious homemade pici with cacio e pepe, Cinta Senese ragù and duck. The tagliata was wonderful and really tender. The bill was reasonable, and the manager was welcoming and friendly. The property sits in beautiful countryside and feels charming, though it could probably use some updating. It’s a lovely base for anyone after peace and relaxation, or hoping to explore the distinctive villages and landscapes of Tuscany. Recommended.
