The owner is VERY helpful [even though he lives in Florence, but does have an office in Radda, and does return phone calls], which is v. necessary on moving in or out, since the 'accessibility' description is not very accurate. One can, theoretically, drive to within 10m of the apt, IF you have a small enough car [as the owner does], but only in the AM. Our Fiat 500L would never have made it. The parking [over the city wall beyond the apt] was definitely more than 100 m, including a long flight of stairs. The location is v. convenient in one respect, being 10 m from the city info office, whose staff is good in English and helpful in absolutely any way that you would desire. The location is challenging for senior seniors since it is uphill from everywhere, w/. a final long flight of stairs to enter the apt. The apt. is somewhat under furnished, w/. only two comfortable seats in the LR, but the BRs and baths are fine, and there is a PC. The owner [keyholder] speaks English well, but is v. busy, so you must get him to slow down, e. g., while explaining the washing machine.

Zentrale Lage in der Toskana. Umgeben von Weinbergen und Olivenhainen. Die Ausstattung ist praktisch und im Haushalt ist alles was man braucht. Geschmackvoll und der Umgebung angepasst, eingerichtetes Appartement. Das Ensemble mit mehreren Appartements ist in einem sauberen und gepflegten Zustand. Es gibt viel Natur um das Haus herum und eine herrliche Ruhe. Typisch Toskana! Für alle Wege (Einkauf, Gastronomie usw.) ist ein Auto erforderlich. Alles Nötige gibt es im Umkreis von 10 km.

Beautiful surrounding and view of nearby San Gimignano. Owner was very friendly and welcoming. Our apartment was cozy and entire property well maintained. Large garden with several bbqs and seating areas available for the guests. Swimming pool as well to cool off in summer time. We loved our stay (couple with toddler)

We had the same positive experiences as detailed in most of the reviews. Don't want to repeat all insights/aspects already mentioned here, what we personally found very good was the friendly ambience and the nice places seen on our horse riding tours.
Es war ein sehr angenehmer Urlaub! Ein sehr freundliches Ambiente, schöne und gut geplante Reitausflüge. Wir kommen wieder :-)
Abbiamo avuto un soggiorno molto piacevole! Torneremo presto.
Grazie mille
Helmut and Family

The flat was neatly eqipped. The pool clean and maintained. The garden in top condition. The most remarkable was the frindlyness of the landlord family. I wish all people going there the same enjoyable vacation we had. Couple of 50 years.

We loved our stay at Fattoria Armenia. Three couples stayed in late May 2014 and so enjoyed the experience of staying at a family run farm. Steffania, Alessandro, Julio and Jacobo made us feel as if we were one of the family. They were so warm and welcoming and made our stay so pleasant. Salariato worked very well for the six of us and was very roomy. The master bedroom was especially nice. When we return, which we hope will be soon, we will probably stay in the cottage as it has a wonderful private outdoor space on ground level. The views were outstanding and the area as wonderful as it looks. We all loved being surrounded by the many animals including dogs and puppies, lovely horses to visit in the field, and many more. We miss you all and hope to see you again very soon! Diane and Dave Mazzei, the Sibleys and the Swedes

Torre Del Cielo is beautiful -- inside and out. The gardens are spectacular. Really appreciated the excellent care given to the villa and grounds.
Rosado, our host, was terrific. Attentive, but not overly so. He organized a tour of a local monastery. No vineyard tour was included.
We scheduled both the chef prepared dinner and a cooking class. Both were fun and delicious -- the dinner was exceptional. Well worth the extra cost. The villa is well equipped for cooking and dining in.
We were a group of seven -- all recommend Torre Del Cielo. We did not use the tower bedroom -- a bit musty smelling, but may be fine for some. We did use the tower bathroom during the day as it was nicely accessible when enjoying the grounds. All others are in the upper floor bedrooms.

What a fabulous holiday we had with Patricia and Mario, they welcomed us into their home, they give us our privacy but also included us in their family, they are warm friendly and informative. They give us great advise on things to see, places to eat. We had a fabulous time and will certainly be returning. Highly recommend
