The villa is situated amidst stunning countryside offering plenty of outdoor spaces to dine, relax and enjoy. Having a swimming pool was perfect as the weather was hot. The charming town of Radda is close enough to walk to and has restaurants, a supermarket and cafes. This place is an ideal family retreat for those looking for quiet in the countryside and convenience close by. The house itself was comfortable but doesnt have great access to WiFi and TV etc but that was what we were looking for for a quiet break. Also, since we are in the countryside take bug spray as there are insects and bugs everywhere...inside and out! When a minor inconvenience occurred, our agents were quick to resolve the matter despite it being a weekend day and we are grateful for Dan and Laura's service throughout. We would recommend booking through them for local knowledge and helpful, swift responses. Enjoy this villa for a peaceful countryside escape with family and friends.

We were an extended family of 8 staying in Docciole. Anna the owner was very accommodating and helpful, and always available to answer questions, but kept a very low profile during our stay. We were also allowed a late check out to fit in with our return flight which was much appreciated. The traditional Tuscan villa was lovely, set on the hill side, surrounded by trees and vineyards and wonderfully quiet. Only a 20 minute walk into the beautiful town of Radda where there were plenty of restaurants and bars - useful as driving anywhere in Chianti is a slow process on hilly windy roads. We took advantage of the lovely outdoor eating area and traditional barbecue to enjoy the weather. The pool was also A lovely villa in a beautiful location in the heart of Chianti.

We chose Docciole for its facilities, characterful appearance, setting and location within walking distance to Radda in Chianti. It delivered all we needed and more for a relaxing holiday immersed in Tuscany. The living accommodation is traditional, full of character and provides options for a large group to get together or split up and enjoy their own space. We enjoyed making use of the large, well equipped kitchen to prepare meals using local produce. We particularly loved the outdoor space - whether cooling off in the pool, eating under the shade of the vine covered pergola, cooking over wood, walking the olive grove observing the butterflies, birds and insects or just sitting on a grassy bank looking across the wooded valley towards glorious sunsets. Sighting occasional wild boar with their young and deer just topped it all off. Radda has everything you need and more from a historic, bustling local town in Tuscany. If you choose, the walk really is a gentle twenty minutes and there are stunning views on the way. We had excellent restaurant meals, did wine tasting and found friendly local cafes and shops - all on the doorstep.

Docciole is a beautiful family villa, full of charm and character, which we adored. It has a quirky, homely feel with Anna Maria and her family being fabulous hosts; friendly, welcoming and very helpful. The villa’s highlights are the outdoor eating space, pool and kitchen, all perfect for a multi-generational holiday. The beds are comfy with soft cotton sheets and the home is well stocked with everything needed, including a traditional cured meat slicer, a novelty which proved very useful given the selection from the deli! The relaxed town offers a small, but good selection of shops, cafes and bars, along with a municipal tennis court which we used a few times. The walk into town is along a road with no footpath on sections which, coupled with the speed of some drivers, needs careful attention especially if walking with children. There are a number of marked hiking routes from the town, which are well signposted. We had an amazing holiday and loved the villa and its family and history…..fascinating and beautiful. Invitation to Tuscany provided a gold star service, and helped me choose Docciole after listening to my specific requests and then arranged for a private wine tour of the area & groceries to be delivered on our arrival day. We have recommended you to our friends, and if we return to Tuscany, will be in touch.
