Almost every window has a picture perfect view of the countryside below. The spacious kitchen with welcoming 8 foot wide fireplace and antique family-friendly table is the perfect setting for meal after meal of home-cooked Tuscan delicacies. From candle next to the bathtub to the instant hot water kettle in the kitchen, living in this spacious apartment will feel as cozy as your own home. At the time of year we arrived, figs were falling off the trees and into our mouths. We went into Rufina for awesome pizza at il Ritrovo (the host called and made reservations for us), and we drove to Castello dI Trubbio for a private tour (again, great suggestion by our hosts) complete with wine tasting led by sommelier Noami. While we did not use the large swimming pool, it looked beautiful positioned high above the host’s 200 olive trees (you can buy a bottle from their private stock.) I could go on and on, but that is not necessary if you make Casa Badalamente your holiday home in Tuscany.
