La Macchia : locations de vacances

This is a beautiful apartment, and the location — steps from Ponte Vecchio — is unbeatable. David was welcoming, responsive and helpful, and there were many thoughtful touches — such as bottled water in the fridge and maps for the area. We would have loved to stay longer and hope to return someday!

When you stay with Fulvia you feel like you are a long lost relative coming for a visit! The surroundings are calming and picturesque and the home has a wonderful history as a restaurant. The house is very warm and inviting and spacious but maybe not good for those who crave minimalism. The AC works well and although there is no pool, the hot tub became a nice cool soak at night. She gave us a cooking class which was a wonderful experience and she arranged the menu around our likes and dislikes. She also had great recommendations for towns to visit and places to eat and also organized a wine tour close by. She and her family live on the ground floor, but it still feels private in the outdoor areas. We stayed there after a few days in Florence on our way to Rome and it was half way in between, so it was great location to visit towns on the way in and on the way out.

This little hamlet was ideal for a group of several families wanting a Tuscan holiday. Christina was a very responsive host, always available for help and suggestions. One down side was the distance from many of the Tuscan attractions such as Florence and Sienna. The hamlet is reasonably remote so is ideal for those who want a secluded holiday rather than those who want to see the sights of Tuscany.

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour chez Stefano et Roberta qui sont très accueillants et attentionnés. Le logement correspond parfaitement à sa description dans un cadre naturel et apaisant. En contrepartie, l'accès peut s'avérer difficile par une route communale que Stefano s'emploie pourtant à maintenir en état. Nous recommanderions donc une arrivée avant la nuit, malgré les explications très précises de Marco. Le séjour est alors extrêmement plaisant, renforcé par les multiples détails proposés dans le logement, les petites attentions, la disponibilité... L'emplacement, si isolé, n'est cependant qu'à 30 minutes de Volterra, San Gimignano, moins d'une heure de Sienne, etc ... Notre séjour restera donc un excellent souvenir et nous recommanderions sans hésiter ce logement à notre entourage.

We fully enjoyed our stay at Angela's farm house. The flat was very spacious, clean and cool during hot summer days. The view and the pool were fantastic. The location is remote and quiet, roughly 20min by car from Volterra. We stayed here with our 10 months old son and he loved interacting with the dogs. They were very friendly. Angela helped us out whenever we had questions and gave us a good recommendation for wine tasting. We were even able to sample some of the local products from the farm. So overall a fantastic stay.

Everything was perfect! Nice place to rest with a wonderful chill lounge and a pool. Federica and Enrica were responsive and helpful hosts. Thanks for the time and all the recomendations.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend. Barbara was gracious and great to work with. The house was charming and just as great as it looks on the listing. The property and grounds are amazing. The town nearby was fun to visit with everything you need and lots to see. You are also in easy driving range of the other main Tuscany towns. Overall an excellent experience. Thank you Barbara!

I am very glad that we got such a hostess! She is very polite, very responsive! We met for the first time, but it was as if we had known each other for many years. The house is in a very comfortable and beautiful place!! It is very clean and very cozy!! If I come to Tuscany again, then only to Caterina!)
