Historic Village of Radicofani

Highlight • Settlement

Radicofani, despite being inhabited by only a thousand people, is one of the most beautiful towns in the Sienese Val d'Orcia. Radicofani is part of the Via Francigena route. The most important monument of Radicofani is its fortress. Lying at an altitude of 800 meters above sea level, Radicofani boasts splendid panoramic points over the Sienese countryside.

Church of St. Peter, Radicofani

Highlight • Religious Site

Tuscan towns seem to divide into 2 categories, those on the "tourist trail" and those not. For some reason Radicofani seems to be "not", even though it is full of present-day charm and (often uncharging) history.

It is a stiff climb to get to from the floor of Val d'Orcia, even when cycling while the walking effort is truly epic, but worth it!

We stayed in an utterly charming tiny cottage, Casa del Ciliego, and ate in one of the numerous small restaurants - plenty were open, even on a quietist Sun evening.

Stocked up in the amazing tiny grocery, hidden away in the ancient 'ghetto' part of the town. You can also buy enough to make a full meal quite easily here.

June 1, 2023,Radicofani con Fortezza

Radicofani has become a personal highlight of Tuscany. This can be due to the cosy, dreamy, lovingly designed little place, the fortress with the amazing view or the beers that I enjoy with a French. Pilgrims have drunk in the Enoteca La Stella or the delicious food that I enjoyed in the Ristorante La Fortezza while weathering a decent thunderstorm. …
