Map & Owner's Profile
Tuscany Cottage with Private Pool in the Chianti Hills
Year Purchased: 1995
Why the Owner Chose Lecchi
My father Enrico managed for years a wine farm in Radda in Chianti. He loved the way of life of this land, the contact with nature and the unstressed people living here, the delicious food... so he decided to buy Villa LisiDor to have a place to escape from the chaotic town life.
Not a long time ago we decided to share it with people who, as we do, love nature, the tradition of simple things and appreciate the care for every little detail, typical for a domestic management.
For those reasons we warmly welcome you!

“We spent 2 beautiful weeks at this lovely villa at the end of May and could not have been happier with the property and it's lovely surroundings. It was secluded but within easy distance to many wonderful hill towns and vineyards. Our three young children enjoyed the pool, tennis court and running through the vineyards. I highly recommend this property to anyone who wants a relaxing vacation in this breathtakingly beautiful part of Italy.

"The villa was just as we imagined and we easily slipped into the Tuscan lifestyle and made it our home for the week, enjoying early morning swimming and tennis before the heat of the midday. Sunsets by the pool and afternoon siestas. Day trips to Siena and Florence were great for architecture and shopping. The sunsets were best viewed from the top tower windows. We all have wonderful memories of this trip to take with us!"

We had an amazing time at your villa. The weather was perfect and the surrounding small villages were a treat. We loved the pool and the tennis courts and the beautiful view and hikes right out the front door.
Owner response:Thank you for the review. In fact what is a relevant plus to our villa is the tennis court which is difficult to find in the sorroundings and the many walking possibilities in the villa area!

My partner, our children, my parents, an aunt and myself had the most wonderful time at this property. We swam, we played tennis, we visited all the beautiful local villages as well as day trips to Firenze and Sienna. One highlight was a walk to Casanova Di Ama for wine and olive oil tasting, basking in the sunshine & enjoying the family's hospitality. Radda is a gorgeous friendly village and local restaurants in Lecchi and the pizza pie in Radda is the best! The assistance of Petra in answering all our queries and prompt replies was much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend the Villa, its location or the professionalism of the owners. The villa provided everything we needed for our authentic Italian experience. We can't wait to come back!
Owner response:Such words are the most gratifying result of doing our job; thank you for highlighting some aspects which are absolutely relevant to the villa and its position.

Our family of 5, with 3 young children, just got back from a fantastic 2 weeks in Italy. This villa was perfect for us, more than enough room for everyone. I did a lot of cooking and loved that the kitchen was equipped with everything I needed. We went at the perfect time (late May) when the weather was beautiful and no bugs!! The pool was a bit chilly, but that didn't stop my children from enjoying it everyday. The villa is very quiet and secluded, yet close and centrally located for vineyards and day trips to the many lovely hill towns. The garden was perfect, and my children spent hours playing outside, running through the vineyards, playing on the tennis court and catching lizards!! A minor electrical issue was handled promptly the same day and we found the owner and caretaker to be extremely responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend this villa to anyone who wants a relaxing vacation in this breathtakingly beautiful area of Italy.
Owner response:Thank you Mrs. Kim for writing the review; I'm really happy to know you enjoyed your stay! In fact the villa is mostly appreciated for its central position to many lovely places to visit, for its large pool and for its wide fenced garden ideal for children to play and granting much privacy. Piero, our housekeeper, is our guardian angel: he knows the house better then we do! We are lucky to have him and the fact that he lives a few minutes from home makes it possible for us to give our guests a quick assistance.
