Beautiful views and very good communication
I rated as a 4 instead of 5 for two reasons. 1) the beds were fine but could have been better. (2) the drive on gravel roads were a bit iffy when it rained. Stelio and the rest of the group were very friendly and responsive and the views were amazing . If you walk across the road you can see San Gimignano which was very cool. Also convenient to many of the towns.

Beautiful views and great location
The Macinella 1 villa with amazing views is well situated to visit Florence, Pisa, many surrounding villages and wineries. Use the GPS setting codes as it can be confusing. The owners speak very little English so be prepared to use your translator! The unit we had was a traditional Tuscan home with older Italian furnishings and decor. We stayed for 7 days in the 3 bedroom 3 bath with a large deck and BBQ and access to a beautiful pool. Keep in mind access to the 3rd bathroom is actually outside. Good accommodations for 3 couples. The owner Rossella with Valentina from Casaglia Toscana organized an amazing pasta lesson at the villa. One of the highlights of our trip. Two different types of pasta with 2 different types of sauces, which we enjoyed that night for dinner and a cookbook with our recipes. We also received a basket with the pasta and sauces to bring home with us as we did the cooking lesson the night before we left and made so much food. As we were there for 1 week, we did lots of cooking and a few things that could be improved in the kitchen, equipped with more wine glasses, sharp cutting knives. A small note that some of the cooking pots and dishes needed a bit of scrubbing which was not a big deal. The one thing that should be looked into is the mattresses, very hard and caused quite a few long nights and sore backs the next day. Perhaps a soft topper to sit on top may help however it was just to hard for our group. Thank you to Rossella and Stelio the owners and Valentina for a great week and recipes to try when we are back home.

Très agréable et bien placé
Très bon accueil de Stelio qui habite sur place. Il a fait toute la remise en état de la propriété qu'il a acheté en 1982. C'est simple mais super. La terrasse couverte est très agréable. La piscine impeccable. La cuisine est vraiment suffisante pour des vacances.

Si la cuisine est un peu rustique, le gite en lui même est extra, on y apprécie le calme et la discrétion des propriétaires qui restent à l’écoute. La zone géographique du gîte est parfaite pour visiter Florence Sienne et tous les petits villages aux alentours. La piscine est très agréable au retour des ballades. Un gîte à recommander +++

Quiet and relaxing hideaway
We had a 2 week pleasant stay at Macinella. House and equipment is not new, but fit-for-purpose and shows a lot of style and character. Rosella and Stelio have been very nice to us and helpful. The house is best suited as a quiet and relaxing hideaway for a few days. Siena, San Gimignano and Florenz can be well reached by car. Supermarkets within 3km reach.

Großzügige Ferienwohnung in wunderschöner Lage mit kleinen Fehlern.
Die Wohnung hat das erfüllt, was wir uns von unserem Toskana Urlaub erhofft hatten: tolle ruhige Lage, ausreichende Größe auch für vier Erwachsene, gute Ausstattung, ein großer Swimmingpool, in dem man richtig schwimmen konnte. Allerdings macht die Wohnanlage den Eindruck, schon bessere Zeiten gesehen zu haben. Im Gegensatz zu einer anderen Bewertung, die Wohnung war bei uns absolut sauber! Aber ein paar Investitionen aus der nicht knappen Miete in die Wohnung wären nicht schlecht (Neue Brauseköpfe für die Dusche, eine funktionierende Toilettenspülung, Austausch der verschlissenen Liegenauflagen…).

Toskana - mal anders!?
Leider nur bedingt zu empfehlen. Sauberkeit hält gewöhnlichen Standards bei Weitem nicht stand. Kleinere Defekte, wie Toilettenspülung, beschädigte Gläser etc. laden nur bedingt zu Wohlfühlen ein. Laut feiernde Gastgeber tragen auch nicht zur toskanischen Ruhe bei.

Heerlijk rustig op de berg
Het gehuurde huis (nr 1)was prachtig gelegen, met magnifiek uitzicht vanuit het grote terras. De privacy was geweldig, mede omdat er tijdens ons verblijf geen andere gasten aanwezig waren. Zwembad en landgoed worden met veel aandacht onderhouden. Restaurants en winkels zijn bereikbaar op een paar autokilometers afstand. Een prachtige plek voor onthaasten en genieten!

Super sted, men med mangler.
Vi lejede (og betalte for) en lejlighed med 3 værelser og 3 badeværelser - der var dog kun 2 badeværelser (beskrivelsen siger stadig 3 badeværelser!!). Køkkenfaciliteter var meget gamle og trængte i høj grad til opdatering for at være funktionelt. En virkelig skøn og stor terrasse med fantastisk udsigt, men med dårligt og mangelfuldt møblement (revnede plastikmøbler, stole der i siddehøjde enten var for lave/for høje til spisebord osv. Men til trods for disse "praktiske mangler" er det et dejligt sted med fantastisk beliggenhed, en super dejlig pool og god atmosfære.
