About us

Pure and Authentic is an independent site marketing charming holiday rentals in still undiscovered parts of Italy.

The project started in 2005 when living in Radicondoli, Siena after a friend asked for our help in marketing his newly restored barn.
The service at Pure & Authentic is personal. Your needs and wishes are carefully listened to and treated with attention and respect.
We support all the questions you may have as we understand what it takes to plan a memorable holiday where the only surprises you'll have are ones you want to have! (We may even talk you out of a property if we feel it is not the one you are looking for.)
The supply of Pure and Authentic is small and meticolously selected.

We have personally visited all the houses. We know the owners personally and are committed to establishing a long term human and business relationship based on fairness and respect.
The main criteria for the selection of the properties are: the pure and authentic flavour of the accomodation, high cleanliness and maintenance standards, the presence of the owner or caretaker on site or within a few kms, owners' friendliness and helpfulness, beauty of the surroundings.
Pure and Authentic also features a selection of fun, outdoors and culinary activities carried out by purely authentic local people to be experienced during your stay at any villa.
Pure and Authentic is not a travel agency or a tour operator.

We represent these properties and connect you with the owners.

Subsequently the reservation, payment and key delivery will be done with the owners directly through our website.
