Description
Set along the main street of Radicofani’s medieval centre, Casa Alloro is a charming four-storey townhouse in a strategic yet peaceful location — close to shops and services, but pleasantly removed from the bustle of the nearby restaurants.
The house is immediately habitable, featuring original terracotta floors and beamed ceilings that retain its authentic Tuscan character. Though it has not been lived in for some years, it is in good condition and would easily benefit from a few personal touches to make it truly your own. With 3–4 bedrooms, generous living areas, and the rare bonus of a small rear garden, this property is an ideal base from which to explore the Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape dotted with timeless villages such as Pienza, San Quirico d’Orcia, San Casciano dei Bagni, and Sarteano.
Location – Radicofani, Val d’Orcia
Perched at the southern tip of the Val d’Orcia, Radicofani is crowned by its striking Fortezza, a medieval fortress that dominates the skyline and can be seen from miles around. The town is famously associated with Ghino di Tacco, a legendary 13th-century nobleman-turned-outlaw often likened to Tuscany’s own Robin Hood. His story still echoes through the narrow streets and lively traditions of the town today.
Built from volcanic stone, Radicofani’s architecture has a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from neighbouring villages. In recent years the town has enjoyed a cultural revival, with excellent restaurants, a Romanesque cathedral, and a calendar full of local festivals and events celebrating its rich heritage.
Garden:
A door at the rear of the kitchen opens to a small private garden, complete with a deep stone niche used for storing firewood.
