This was our second time at Il Paggino, and the 4 years between this and last time, sure wasn't due to lack of will. Francesco and Eleonora made this stay just as wonderful as ever. Il Paggino itself has undergone some modernizations and it has all been for the better. The place sits on the side of a hill with an amazing view over the Tuscan landscape. The apartment had the rustic, Italian charm you would expect and it all contributes to an almost movie-sch experience. And do try out Francesco and Eleonora's wines, the make for an excellent partner to the great food of the region. The wonderful town of Radda In Chianti is just a stones throw away, and if you feel a bit more adventurous both Greve In Chianti and Volpaia is just around the corner. Of course, we would recommend taking a trip to all the major cities around Il Paggino, as they all serve a unique experience. Once again, it was wonderful stay at Il Paggino, and no doubt we're coming back! Thanks Francesco and Eleonora, Kind regards, Lene, Steen, Tina, Lars, Salli & Michael


Mr M Thistlethwaite & Ms T Kilgallon - 17/08/2010 20.24.40 - GRAN BRETAGNA
We stayed in the Viola apartment in June earlier this year, it was wonderful. We felt very welcome and the apartment and grounds were absolutely beautiful. We will definetely be returning. We would recommend Il Paggino to anybody wanting a relaxing holiday in the lovely tuscan countryside.

Il Paggino is really a beautiful place in the most wonderful stunning setting. We will certainly recommend it to our family/friends and may well return ourselves in the future sometime. Of all the areas we visited, this was our favourite (with several fabulous restaurants around that you had recommended). See you again hopefully!


Ginny & John Crutchley - 25/07/2010 21.38.01 - GRAN BRETAGNA
Thank you so much Eleonora and Francesco for your warm hospitality and friendship. We loved our stay at IlPaggino in July, it was the nicest place we stayed in the whole of Tuscany. We would certainly love to come back with our friends on motorbikes next time. You should be very proud of the beautiful place you have created. We will be back again. I hope all goes well with the birth of your baby. The wine we bought from you and drank at home was wonderful, wish we'd had room for more. Ciao, Ginny & John xx


PAM AND PAUL OSWALD - 21/07/2010 14.52.33 - ITALIA
WE HAD A LOVELY TIME THOUGH THE WEATHER WAS TOO COLD FOR SWIMMING IN THE POOL. THE SETTING IS WONDERFUL WITH FINE VIEWS IN RUSTIC CHARM AND OUR ROOM WAS VERY ROMANTIC AND COMFORTABLE WITH PERIOD FITTINGS. WE HOPE WE SHALL BE ABLE TO STAY AGAIN VERY SOON


LUCY CAROLAN - 21/07/2010 12.03.10 - IRLANDA
Eleonora/Francesco, Dave and I had a marvellous time and you made us feel very welcome. You were also very helpful when Dave had to visit the doctor. Our apartment AGRIFOGLIO was wonderful and it soon became our home away from home. We enjoyed the area immensely and the food (and the wine) were great. We had to leave rather early on the day of our departure and could not get to say a very big "thank you" for everything. Hoping to see you all again. LOVE DAVE & LUCY


Anneke Voorwalt - 20/07/2010 11.05.48 - ITALIA

Buongiorno, complimenti di nuovo per lo splendito posto e per la vostra estrema gentilezza. I ristoranti che ci avete consigliato erano veramente eccezionali. Ci spiace aver passato poco tempo nella vostra tenuta ,ma abbiamo preferito girare per vedere piu' posti possibili. Abbiamo apprezzato tanto la splendita camera e la colazione era veramente molto intima. Consiglieremo a tutti i nostri conoscenti il vostro agriturismo. Grazie ancora Affettuosi saluti Massimo & Stefania


Lorna and Euan - 05/07/2010 19.29.37 - GRAN BRETAGNA
I write this email to you both later than I had hoped but Euan and I just wanted to say again thanks very much for our most enjoyable stay at Il Paggino. It really is a beautiful place in the most wonderful setting. We will certainly recommend it to our family/friends and may well return ourselves in the future sometime. Of all the areas we visited, this was our favourite (with several fabulous restaurants around that you had recommended). We wish you both well for the future, keep us posted when your baby arrives, would love to see some picture! Kind Regards Lorna and Euan


Russ and Kyoko - 21/04/2010 01.34.26 - CANADA
Eleanora and Francesco. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality when we were recently at Il Paggino. The accommodation was superb, your breakfasts wonderful and the setting idyllic. We enjoyed using Il Paggino as a base for our drives to Monteriggioni, Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano, Colle di Val d'Elsa, Castellina, Gaiole and Montevarchi -- but our two favourite spots were at your back door, Radda and Volpaia! If we're not back soon ourselves, we'll send friends! Warmest regards.


Richard, Kate, William and Oliver - 14/04/2010 18.25.28 - GRAN BRETAGNA
Thanks for making us so welcome in your beautiful property. It was great to get such a warm and energetic welcome, so sorry we didnt see you before we left as we really wanted to say a personal thank you. We had a great time, Mimosa was a great apartment and the boys loved playing in the garden which as they said was more like a park! Radda was wonderful, we particularly liked Botega Giovani where Davide and his sister were very welcoming and the food and wine was excellent. We found lots to do and loads of great places to visit, eat and drink, a wonderful holiday, thx and all the best, ciao!


Anandia and Patrick - 14/04/2010 00.35.17 - AUSTRALIA
Caro Eleonora & Francesco Patrick and I can't stop talking about our wonderful trip to Tuscany - this is the Italy that I want. Great wine, fantastic food, breathtaking scenery and wonderful people. Thank you for your recommendations for our day-trips as we wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Even your advice for which route to take to Firenze didn't go unnoticed! We loved staying in your beautiful property and everything was clean, comfortable and great value (important). We will be sure to let others know where you are and try to come back soon, for LONGER! Take care Anandia and Patrick P.S - you were right in telling us to take the wine we already knew we liked (Merlot) !!


ELEONORA & FRANCESCO (The Owners) - 22/12/2009 13.12.11 - ITALIA
Sometimes we think back about what we created in all these years at Il Paggino farm holiday. it is much beautiful and meaningful to see that many family and friends choose to return in our house for own Tuscany vacations. We believe that the passion we give in our job together your friendship let us feel better and feel as great family. For this reason every year we are happy and honored to leave a Christmas message in your Guestbook to say THANKS and to wish you happy and wonderful festivity. Merry Christmas, Eleonora & Francesco


David & Pauline Cowley - 24/09/2009 15.22.03 - GRAN BRETAGNA
Thank you both for a lovely holiday at Il Paggino. The views from Viola and Agrifoglio were superb, and both apartments very comfortable. We had a lovely fortnight exporing the hill towns around Sienna, and visiting Florence, but some of the best bits were sitting outside the apartment in the evening with a glass of chianti watching the sun go down. Many thanks


Julie Wilkinson - 03/09/2009 22.48.17 - GRAN BRETAGNA
We have just returned from a wonderful weeks stay at your lovely Viola apartment at Il Paggino. We enjoyed every moment of our stay and would recommend this excellent location, ideal to explore the wonderful Tuscan countryside. If you are potential guests considering this - then book! If you do visit recommend you visit the nearby Volpaia winery we really enjoyed the tour there. Also consider taking a walking tour in Florence,we used Dark Rome tours (booked via Viatour)it was an excellent way to see & learn about this beautiful city. Thank you Eleonora Francesco for sharing Il Paggino with us - we would love to return one day. Thanks and best wishes Julie & Mark - UK


Tom and Jacki - 08/08/2009 04.34.53 - AUSTRALIA
Hey guys, Just want to say we had a fantastic time at Il Paggino. You were such great hosts which made our stay even more special. The room and views were absolutely stunning and we wished we could have stayed longer. We hope one day to return. Many thanks and best wishes.


Stephen, Helen, Rachael and Alex - 06/08/2009 13.11.36 - IRLANDA
Hi Eleonora & Francesco Our holiday is over and we are back at work now for over two weeks. Our suntan is fading away, but we have many happy memories of Radda. Thank you for making us so welcome again and for the lovely flowers. It was great to be back with you for another fantastic two weeks of Tuscany sunshine. We hope you have a very busy and successful season and that we will visit you sometime again in the future. With all our love and best wishes,


Dina and Trevor - 02/08/2009 22.03.51 - GRAN BRETAGNA
IL paggino is a great place, we stayed in the viola apartment which had fantastic views, very peaceful and tranquil. Francesco and Eleonora were great hosts, we thoroughly enjoyed the evening we spent with them. We found Radda an ideal location for visiting the Tuscany area, and the local vineyards. We will always have fond memories of our stay there.


Tom Tremayne - 29/07/2009 11.06.45 - GRAN BRETAGNA
What a wonderful place you have! Truly relaxing and tranquil, we had a really amazing time, and the BBQ with you both was so much fun! It was our first time in Italy and staying with you helped make it even more special. We'll be back someday, for sure. Francesco, keep riding that Buell! Ciao


Graham, Katrina, Ruby & Benjamin - 24/07/2009 08.33.02 - NUOVA ZELANDA
We loved staying at Il Paggino, it is a very beautiful place, Mimosa was beautiful, the pool fabulous and the walk to Radda through the forest and past the vineyards was easy and fun. Children loved the pool and we met lovely people. BBQ was fun, thank you. Hope we can come back to stay in Tuscany again.


Sylvie et Jean Michel - 19/07/2009 02.59.41 - BELGIO

Chers Eleonora et Francesco, en venant en Toscane, nous n'avions l'intention que de venir une seule fois et de visiter d'autres régions d' Italie l'an prochain. Tout était tellement formidable chez vous, à commencer par vous et votre accueil et votre gentillesse (merci pour le renvoi du parfum). La beauté de l'endroit, la propreté, le calme que nous reviendrons, c'est certain. On vous fait bien la bise de nous deux et on vous souhaite une excellente saison.

Where to start? This was our fifth trip to Italy and second to Radda. We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay at Il Paggino. Eleonora and Francesco are the perfect hosts and keep Il Paggino looking beautiful. So many places on the property to enjoy. The pool, grape arbored sitting area, private patios, expanses of well-manicured grounds. Completely restful and enjoyable. We recommend to all this well-located, quiet and peaceful place for the sjourning traveler.


Eleonora & Francesco - 24/12/2008 15.57.02 - ITALIA

Hi Eleonora and Francesco, we have spent a very nice week at il paggino last week!!! Such a nice place with a great view over the valley an this cosy "Viola" appartment. Warm regards to Tuscany,


Julita & Piotr - 16/10/2008 11.29.06 - POLONIA
It was a great time in very comfotable apartment "Viola". We will remeber it for a long time. Really great experience of Tuscany.


Eli Svarva and Håkon Torgersen - 17/09/2008 22.05.03 - NORVEGIA
Hello Eleonora and Francesco ! We want to thank you for your kindness, we had a fantastic week in Il Paggino. You have created a beautiful place, perfect for peaceful days. Also very nice villages nearby. We have many great memories and would like to return another time.


Bill,Lisa,Alice & Eve Hornby - 29/08/2008 20.32.19 - GRAN BRETAGNA
Hi Francesco and Eleonora Thanks so much for a fantastic time at your beautiful house, we had a wonderful week, our girls are still talking about it now. Sharing the meal with you and other guests is a memory we will always cherish. You are both wonderful hosts. We will definately be back to beautiful Tuscany. Ciao from Bill (Scottish) and Family


Stephen, Helen, Rachael and Alex McBride - 22/08/2008 00.25.45 - IRLANDA
Hi Francesco and Eleanora Thanks for being such marvellous hosts. Your welcome on arrival and helpfulness throughout our stay made a lasting impression. The apartment was very well equipped and made our stay so comfortable. The sun shone every day and we thoroughly enjoyed your excellent facilities. The pool must have the best view in Italy. We had three fantastic weeks at Il Paggino. Il Paggino is a wonderful location for visiting many of the area's historic cities with Florence and Siena only one hour away and Pisa two hours. We took the opportunity to visit Rome which is only four hours away by car. Radda's restaurants offer delicious food at affordable prices and the people were so helpful and friendly. We are looking forward to coming back in 2009. All the best,


Jenny and John Hancock 14/o6/08 21/06/08/ - 20/08/2008 11.20.23 - AUSTRALIA
We fell in love with Tuscany and can recommend Il Paggino as a wonderfully central place to enjoy exploring the countryside, and the bonus of having the bus to Florence stop at the front gate.No having to fight the traffic and find a park. We enjoyed our family meal with Eleonora and Francisco and look at our photos at least twice a week.


laurent et sandrine Negozio - 19/08/2008 22.36.52 - FRANCIA
Nous avons passé une semaine formidable à "Il Paggino", le site est très verdoyant et fleurit, c'est un vrai plaisir. Très bien desservi, car à côté d'une petite ville charmante, 1km (on y trouve même un petit supermarché). La piscine avec une vue remarquable ainsi que le jardin sont très bien entretenus, fidèles aux images proposées sur le site des propriètaires. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.


Alan and Margaret Clubb and Family - 18/08/2008 21.20.20 - GRAN BRETAGNA
Hi Eleonora and Fancesco. We had a wonderful holiday based in Apartment Rosa. The setting is ideal with beautiful views and lovely areas for sitting and relaxing - we thought the tented sitting out areas in the flower meadow were an inspirational idea and gave very tranquil areas for sitting reading and looking at the wonderful views. The pool area was a real hit with my family, but my wife and I will also remember the wonderful evenings sat under the vine trellis drinking Chianti and listening to the crickets. It was a fantastic relaxing holiday and we will cherish great memories of the area and of you both. My eldest son James will always have your generous present of the book on Chianti with your signed messages to remind him of his dream to live in Italy one day. Many thanks and we hope we will see you both again one day.


Mark and Maureen Brown - 17/08/2008 18.22.36 - GRAN BRETAGNA
Hi Eleonora and Francesco We had a wonderful stay in Agrifoglio in June. Everything was perfect, from the welcome we received from you, the wonderful setting of your house and apartments, the pool, and of course the great time we spent with you over your home-cooked dinner. Hope to see you again before too long.


Familien Fischer Poulsen - 17/08/2008 16.50.38 - DANIMARCA
Hi Eleonora and Francesco. Thanks for another great week at Il Paggino. Your hospitality and garden is second to none. Radda and Il Paggino is our favourite places. The only bad thing is we have to leave and go home, but we will be back again.


Kristian and Synne Zakarias - 16/08/2008 16.58.53 - DANIMARCA
Dear Elle and Frank. Thank you for one of the greatest vacations ever! We really enjoyed staying at Il Paggino - especially the long nights talking about this and that over a glass (or more) of wine with you guys!! You have such a nice place - a hidden pearl in the middle of Tuscany and we are so happy, we found it :-)We will be back! Love from Synne and Kristian


Cooman - 16/08/2008 14.30.07 - BELGIO
A stunning house set in beautiful countryside, the perfect escape. just minutes drive to Radda A perfect location to discover the Tuscan countryside (bus stop to Firenze in front of the house) . The house is extremely spacious with a beautiful terrace and pool, all needs are catered for including a wonderful kitchen (Gelsomino). The owners were very friendly and helpful and gave the right balance of contact and privacy I would definitely recommend this property."


Remy, Philipe, Karine, Marion, Louisa - 31/07/2008 16.37.09 - FRANCIA
Elonora e Francesco, Ciao dalla Francia e ancora grazie mille per la vostra accoglienza unica e eccezionale in un posto incantevole tra gli olivi, cipressi e la vigna, nel cuore della bellissima zona del Chianti, punto di partenza ideale per scoprire le meraviglie di una Toscana stupenda e magica. In nessun altro luogo noi ci stiamo sentiti cosi bene. Francesco non deve dimenticare la sua lezione di francese : avec le Chianti tout va bien (con il Chianti tutto va bene), sans le Chianti tout va mal (senza il Chianti tutto va male). Ciao a tutti i due e sopratutto arrivedervi per una prossima vacanze al "Paggino" al più presto. Karine, Philippe, Remy, Marion et Louisa.


Jakob&Nathanja 03-05-08-24-05-08 - 18/07/2008 13.04.26 - OLANDA
We spend 3 weeks in the Gelsomino appartment, which was not a punishment!!There was a lot of space and outside we could enjoy the beautiful gardens and surroundings.Every now and then we saw the beautiful and lovely smiles of Eleonora&Francesco turn around the corner.Nearby we found beautiful flowers; wild orchids at least 6 different kinds and animals; to mension birds, hops, and the bever(in italian Castoro)! We certainly hope to come back to this wonderful area and friends. we love Italy, especially Tuscany, especially il Paggino!


Sue & Peter Rawlins 31.05.08 - 07.06.08 - England - 23/06/2008 10.32.58 - GRAN BRETAGNA
Hi Francesco & Eleanora, Hope you are both well and keeping busy!! Thank you for making our holiday so enjoyable. Apartment Viola is excellent as are the lovely gardens and pool area and your hospitality is first rate. Everyone should try the family meal - what a fantastic night we had. Hope you enjoy a really successful future and a long and happy married life. Kindest regards to you both. Ciao Sue & Peter Rawlins


Ed - 21/06/2008 00.55.28 - U.S.A.
Eleonora & Francesco were very friendly and helpful. Agrifoglio villa, our space was much larger than expected. We would love to spend every day on the patio viewing the beautifull valley, listening to the birds, including a cuckoo bird, slowly sipping our chianti. Almost heaven !!


The Pepper Family - 02/06/2008 20.56.43 - GRAN BRETAGNA
Eleonora & Francesco Thank you for the fantastic week we spent in the appartment Gelsomino. We enjoyed the beautiful countryside and exploring the local towns. Il Paggino had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We hope to return soon.


Christine, Peter, Pauline & Gerda Froese - 31/05/2008 18.00.19 - GERMANIA
Hi Francesco and Eleanora, The whole family spent relaxing spring holidays at your tastefully renovated farm house, a pleasure for everyone loving "rustico& a tranquility" and who has a sense for tradition and rural culture. Grandma & children enjoyed remaining in the wide and hilly green every second day, while the parent where "hunting" for the nearby treasures of old Roman cultures & or recently set up gourmet sites. Fine and clean place to stay! Very much recommendable. Ciao and would like to return whenever we feel for Tuscany again. Christine & Peter


John and Gill Janzen U.K - 28/05/2008 22.27.41 - GRAN BRETAGNA
John and Gill Janzen U.K - Hi Franco and Eleanora, Well like everyone else we LOVE Il Paggino. The buildings and decor are just right, very cosy and homely. The garden is really perfect with all the little sitting areas, and of course the lovely view. We enjoyed all of the local Restaurants, and the lovely towns and villages surrounding Radda. We had a good journey home, reclaiming my jacket, en route!! Glad to say our much loved dog hurled herself at us when we arrived home. She had a major operation, but is now hopefully as crazy as ever. You can rest assured we will be back. It is likely we will bring our friends as well. We will be in touch as soon as we can fix a date. Thanks for your hospitality


Sonia e Pierre - 17/05/2008 19.37.20 - SVIZZERA
Cari Eleonora e Francesco, Grazie mille per questa settimana nella appartamento Viola. Il vino, l'olio e il formaggio erano buonissimo! Speriamo potere venire un'altra volta quando il tempo sarà migliore :-) Un abbraccio

We got back to England safely on Saturday afternoon and we woke up on Sunday morning to SNOW!! It was very picturesque but it made Italy seem a long way away!!

We had a wonderful stay, we loved all the autumn colours! we hope to come back some day to enjoy the pool and the long and sweet evenings on the terrasse...!!


Roberta - 05/12/2007 03.45.53 - U.S.A.
Although we visited in the "off" season, staying at Il Paggino was truly fantastic. From the warm reception to the charming accommodations, the Mimosa apartment was the perfect place to explore Chianti. I look forward to visiting again during nice weather and making use of the beautiful patio and pool. Mille grazie Eleonora & Francesco per una vacanza molto bene. (I am still trying to parlo Italiano!)


Pierre et Sonya - 04/12/2007 20.55.29 - CANADA
Quelle belle expérience que ce séjour chez Eleanora et Francesco à la mi-octobre. Tout était parfait, même la température! L'appartement Gelsomino était magnifique, très grand, confortable, propre et très bien meublé. On a eu vraiment l'impression de vivre comme les toscans. La location est aussi excellente, en plein centre du Chianti, avec des accès facile aux sites d'intérêts comme Siena, Castellina, San Giminiano et beaucoup d'autres. au plaisir d'y retourner un de ces jours.


Lola, Laurence et Francois - 04/11/2007 21.54.05 - BELGIO
Nous avons passé deux semaines formidables dans la belle région du Chianti et ses environs. Grâce à votre accueil chaleureux et à votre superbe maison, nous avons pu nous sentir un peu chez nous. On se souviendra des soupers du jeudi (assez folklorique!). Des vacances comme cela, on en redemande. Gros bisous à vous.


Eve & Jim Hadfield - 12/10/2007 17.21.43 - GRAN BRETAGNA
Hello Eleonora and Francesco, Just to let you know we had a wonderful week in Arcobolena apartment, which suited us "down to the ground" as we say in Britain. You have a wonderful little estate at Il Paggino, and the lifestyle only makes us envious! Thanks too for the fisrt class wine with which you greeted us. We are only sorry that with the baggage allowance on the plane, we could not take any home, your olive oil also. Take care and good luck for the future.

This holiday was very much as we thought it would be, gently rolling hills, little villages, friendly people in a delightful rural setting with our vivacious young hosts. Lots of tourists unless you know how to avoid them, which is possible. Great holiday! Thanks!


André,Regina, Vincent en Chantal - 08/10/2007 11.22.46 - OLANDA
Dear Eleonora and Francesco, We enjoyed our stay at "Il Paggino" in the first 2 weeks of September very much. Especially the kindness of and the good laughs we had with both of you. Very special was the country dinner with the others guests at Thursday evening. We also highly appreciated all the bottles of wine we get for free from you. We wish you good luck in the future, with "Il Paggino". You'll never know we meet again, some place, some time, some where. (maybe in the Netherlands) Kind regards, André & Regina ; Vincent & Chantal Langeveld.


Birthe & Lars Bo - 28/09/2007 11.20.20 - DANIMARCA
Hi Eleonora & Francesco! We spent a very great week in June/July in your Mimosa apartment. We thank you for your friendly hospitality. We especially enjoyed the nice evening we spent with you drinking some of your wine and talking with you about this and that. Thank you for letting us pick your fresh basil to use for our cooking. We love the Chianti countryside around Radda, Castellina and Greve. We will think of you when we drink some of your wine over the next couple of months. We will defenately come back to Il Paggino. Maybe next year. Love to you. Birthe & Lars Bo, Aabenraa, Denmark.

Nancy Pike - 14/08/2007 02.30.39 - U.S.A.
My daughter and I and our four cousins from Sweden had a fantastic holiday in Tuscany. We especially enjoyed living at Il Paggino for a week, traveling each day to the wonderful villages and cities nearby (Florence, Siena, Castellina, Greve, Panzano, and Arezzo), and finishing the day in your lovely garden and swimming pool. Thank you for your friendly hospitality and for providing such a special place.


Rob & Deirdre - 12/08/2007 21.46.15 - CANADA
We are now back home after our 5-month adventure, and are looking through photos of the best parts of our trip. As we talk to our friends and family about all the places we visited (UK, France, Spain, Greece and Italy) we keep coming back to the magical week at Il Paggino in Radda. Thank you for creating such a lovely place, and filling it with great wine! We enjoyed our stay with you so much, and have recommended Radda and Il Paggino to many freinds who are considering a holiday in Chianti. Our two boys, David and James, both rate their stay in Chianti as one of the highlights of the trip. They really want to come back some time when the pool is open! Thanks again.


Kathy & Denis Cook - 08/08/2007 15.16.51 - GRAN BRETAGNA
Hi and thanks for a wonderful holiday. It was our first time in Italy and we couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. The whole region of Chianti was beautiful, added to that was the great accommodation in fantastic surroundings with picturesque views unlike any we have seen before. You both made us so welcome and comfortable which helped us really get into the holiday mood. Thanks again and hope to see you soon.


Aurélie, Olivier,Cézanne&Guilhem - 18/07/2007 15.34.26 - FRANCIA

Rosa House Hi Francesco and Eleanora, Now that I am back in Florida and have recuperated from jet-lag, I want to take a minute to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at Il Paggino. Your place is delightful! I, my daughter, and our Swedish cousins all found Il Paggino the perfect spot to stay for a visit to Tuscany. I am sorry we didn't see you again during our stay to let you know what a good time we were having. We used the kitchen to cook dinner a couple of times, once cooking chicken on the barbecue grill. It was very nice to be able to do that instead of going out for dinner every night. We also enjoyed the pool. How refreshing to be able to come back after a hot day of sightseeing to that lovely pool with its fantastic view! Breakfast under the grape arbor was another highlight. We spent a lot of time driving around, visiting your area. We spent one day in Siena, one in Florence, and visited the cashmere goat farm, the Castle Brolio, Arezzo, Castellina, Ponzano, Greve and, of course, the very lovely Radda. I think we fit quite a lot into one week, don't you? On behalf of myself, my daughter and our four Swedish cousins, a big thank you for your hospitality and your lovely place! We enjoyed the wine, too!


Birgitt & Norbert - 02/07/2007 21.57.30 - GERMANIA
Ciao Eleonora, ciao Francesco, mille mille grazie per una bellissima vacanza. Thank you very much for your hospitality in your beautyful agriturismo. We stayed really good and we hope to come back soon with the hole family :-). Our appartement viola was really nice, perfect for two persons, the view in the country of Toscany so beautyful! Speriamo veramente di ritornare. Un bellissimo posto per passare le vacanze ! Thank you! Grazie ! Danke Birgitt & Norbert


Manuela & Christian - 28/06/2007 00.35.03 - GERMANIA
Dear Eleonora & Francesco! Thank you so much for the wonderful time we had at “Il Paggino”. From the beginning we felt at home at your place. We loved your little museum, the pool with it’s beautiful view and our apartment „La Viola“. Watching the sunset from right in front of our apartment really is a special experience. But the dinner with the other guests and the chance to taste home made Tuscan “piatti” definitely was the highlight. Thanks for that again. In addition “Il Paggino” is the perfect starting point to explore not only the Chianti and the Crete and their beautiful cities but all of Tuscany. Thanks a lot for your hospitality - we definitely are going to come back. All the best for you!


Margreta and Karl - 20/06/2007 11.16.28 - DANIMARCA
Ciao belli in Italia Thank you for a lot of fine pictures. It was very well done of you making a so much food - italian food to us. We liked very much to meet people from America, england, France , Germany and of course you. I also want to say that we are very content with il Gensomino / il Paggino, the beds were wonderful , the rooms very nice - briefly said: we liked very much to be guests at your house. And of course; we love Italia. I think it is possible that we are coming back some time. The summer is pretty up here in the north, with long days og only a few hours with darkness. I have a cabin in the mountains and we often go there to be in the nature fishing and walking in the mountain. ( I should hav tried to write this in italian, may be I do .....) We are grandparents and spend a lot of time together with our grandchildren, especially now when scools are closed. Thank you again, we have only pleasent memories from your place in Toscana. Love


Gerlinde und Heinz Lang - 16/06/2007 16.23.00 - AUSTRIA
Dear Eleonora! Dear Francesco! Thank you for the wonderful stay with you. We don't forget the two weeks from 19. May until 2. June 2007. Particularly with the many "vitamins." We wish good luck an all the best for you Ciao Gerlinde and Heinz Lang (Lungo il contrario di corto)


Lydia & Wigbert Hartmann - 11/06/2007 19.49.37 - GERMANIA
We stayed in a beautiful toscanian flat, enjoyed the friendly contact to Elenore and Francesco. One highlight was the Thursday-Dinner, a multicultural meeting with other guests of Il Paggino. Thanks for all and warmly regards to Elenore&Francesco and all the dinner-paricipants (from Norway, Kentucky, France and England)


Emilie & Julien Tagnon-Wouters - 10/06/2007 14.48.12 - BELGIO
Dear Friends, First of all, we must apologize for such a late answer. Since we came back overhere, we have been rather busy and haven't been able to take some time to write this coment. We hope you're both doing well. Thank your for the pictures. It remembers us how wonderful the time we spent at your home was. Your warm welcome made our stay very special and we enjoyed every minute of it, especially the "Wednesday's night". On top of that, your house was ideally located to allow us to discover and enjoy every aspect of your wonderful region and its great art of living. We have only one regret: having stayed only one week! We wish you the best. Take care of yourselves. Kindest regards, Emilie & Julien Tagnon-Wouters Belgium


Portal Jill and Robert - 08/06/2007 16.33.47 - FRANCIA
We, along with our American friends Pat and Bill stayed in Rosa. We greatly enjoyed our week. Firenze, Arezzo and Siena are all within easy reach. The region has lots to boast. The apartments have everything you need for a holiday. The bed linen is superbly laundered and still has the ironed look after a week. The highlight, however, at 'il Paggino' is the weekly meal Elenora and Francesco organise for their 'guests'. It is not often that at one table you get: 4 Norwegians, 2 Italians, 2 Germans, 2 Americans a Frenchman (my husband) and an English woman. Thank you for the photos of this evening.


Erin & Mike Murphy - 06/06/2007 22.37.17 - LUSSEMBURGO
E&F, We've been telling all of our friends about your beautiful accommodations -- the views, the pool, the playground -- and its proximity to the surrounding Tuscan sights. We have fallen in love with Tuscany and hope to return next year. Thank you for your friendly hospitality -- the country dinner was delightful. We felt most welcome and wish you the very best in your endeavors. Grazie! Warmly, Erin, Mike, Ryan and Teagan Murphy

Ciao Eleonora & Francesco Thank you very much for sending us the photographs of our evening together it was kind of you, and sorry its taken so long for us to reply to you. We enjoyed our holiday at Il Paggino in Mimosa apartment very very much and thank you so much for giving us such a warm welcome. Toscana is a very beautiful part of Italy especially the Chianti hills, we would definately return again one day, hopefully not in the too distant future. Wishing you both all the very best for the remainder of the season, hope to meet you again one day maybe. Do not work too hard

Dear Eleonora and Francesco, We send our warm greetings from a cold [at the moment] country. But we keep our good memories: a lovely stay in the 'arcobaleno'. It was super: all the six of us [two adults and our four children age 12, 12, 10 and 6 years old] had a very fine holiday. Thanks a lot, and maybe till some day in the future. Cause you know: at the end of the rainbow [=arcobaleno]......... Ciao, Jan, Josita, Max, Myrthe, Thomas and Willem van den Eertwegh

GELSOMINO 2007 Dear Eleanora and Francesco...we had a most wonderful time at Il Paggino and must say that you both are a large part of why we enjoyed our stay. Your warmth and hospitality and dinner will stay in our memories forever. We will add our comments to your guest book and will e mail photos to you once we have reviewed the pictures. Our favorite part of our 2 weeks is the week spent at Il Paggino. Went shopping today and bought everything Italian...pestos, pecorino, prosciutto and Chianti. Your country has spoiled us. Hope all is well with you. Until next time...


Angie and Tully - 08/05/2007 16.04.29 - GRAN BRETAGNA
Dear Eleonora & Francesco, many thanks for your kind hospitality this spring. The apartment was beautiful, and you were both very kind and always made us feel welcome.

We spent delicious moments in the Paggino house. From the beginning we've got the felling to be in our home and the kids enjoyed the large garden. The quality provided is perfect. The région is marvelous too and Radda is well situated to visit the best places. Special thanks to Eleonora and Francesco for their kindness !

"I have only good things to say and remember about out stay in Apartment Gelsomino at Il Paggino. It was very spacious, extremely neat and clean with modern kitchen and bathrooms. It was decorated in a very lovely Italian theme. The location of the property itself was excellent, giving us many options for day trips each day without having to spend all day in the car. Our hosts, Francesco and Eleanora, are a very beautiful, enthusiastic young couple and it is apparent they have invested much time and love into making Il Paggino a comfortable and enjoyable place to stay. They have been managing Il Paggino as a guest house for only about one year and they have done so much. I know they will have a very successful business for many years to come."


Tina & Frannk - 02/11/2006 19.45.15 - GERMANIA
Eleonora & Francesco is already one month we left "Il Paggino" but we did't forget you two and wanted to say thank you again for that wonderful week. We hope that you have a lot of happy guests at Il Paggino and still find same time to relax and enjoy your time in Radda. Warm regards

Hallo, Eleonara und Francesco, die 10 Tage in Il Paggio waren sehr schön. Das von Euch mit viel Liebe eingerichtete Haus hat uns ausgezeichnet gefallen. Der fröhliche Abend mit den Gästen aus Kanada, Holland und Frankreich wird uns in Erinnerung bleiben. Solare -euer Wein- war exzellent und das nächste mal werden wir noch ein wenig mehr kaufen. Viele Grüsse aus Bärenklau senden Euch Monika und Günther.

Nous avons eu chez vous deux merveilleuses semaines. Le logement beau et confortable, le paysage magnifique et de plus l'accueil est très chaleureux. Nous avons apprécié le repas de groupe qui nous a fait connaître la cuisine typique et nous avons trouvé savoureux les produits de la Vecchia Rimessa. Longue vie à vous et à votre entreprise!


Emma, Palle, Marianne - 06/10/2006 18.41.56 - DANIMARCA
Dear Eleonora and Francesco, We feel bad for not having written in your questbook sooner, but better late than never. We had a wonderful two weeks in Il Paggino in July. Your wonderful friendliness, warmth and hospitatility was outstanding. Your place is wonderful and in wonderful surroundings and we all loved both Il Paggino and Tuscany. It was our first but surely not last visit to Tuscany. We still talk about our wonderful Holiday and about you and especially Emma (11 years old) fell in love with you and still keeps talking about you. We hope to be back one day to have more games of kups, more friendly dinners with you and much, much more of Tuscany. All the best to you both.


Ton van der Stel - 05/10/2006 13.01.29 - OLANDA
16.09.2006 Dear Francesco and Eleonora, Today it is a sad day, because we have to leave your beautiful cottage Il Paggino and return to Holland. We stayed here for a week and visited most of the famous places. However a week is by far not enough to discover everything in Tuscany. A good reason to return for future holidays. We like to thank you both for your kind hospitality which gives us warm feelings and memories. We will recommand your little paradise to our friends and we hope to meet again. Carry on and enjoy life. Tante belle cose e arrivederci, Ton and Pia van der Stel


Peter and Sylvia - 26/09/2006 23.15.04 - GERMANIA
It was very nice to be with you. The only problem was, our children loved your garden too much. It was hard to convince them to go to Siena , Florence or any other beautiful places cause they wanted to stay there. Thanks you didn’t remove the bicycles from the roof of our car. Therefore we spent very relaxed days in wonderful Tuscany .
