When you enter Tenuta Macajo, an old farm in the Val di Cecina, you leave your everyday life behind; frenzy, responsibility and daily worries will seem to fall away as you drive along the road that leads into the original borgata and it will seem as though time has stood still; here you can admire the well preserved rural homes, the petrol pump, the little consecrated church and the manor house which is today, after elegant renovation, a hotel with seventeen rooms and a high-class restaurant. Another kilometre through open countryside, ploughed fields and green rolling hills will bring you to Podere Calcheto. The house is surrounded by a gravel yard and a green lawn on which majestic cypresses, elegant olives, oleanders, wild flowers and various species of Mediterranean plants grow. A pool with gazebo and a stone portico with large wooden tables and a barbecue will let you enjoy life to the full in total relaxation, privacy and liberty in this true Tuscan country home. Indoors, the clean lines, terracotta floors and finishing touches in wood are typical of the houses and area that is Calcheto. Spacious bedrooms with that simple comfortable elegance that fits the context; two sitting rooms and two kitchens in which you can enjoy a shared holiday but also have your own private space. Your Emma Villas Customer service is Monica Spagnoli and you can reach her for any emergencies, or further information you may required during your stay. All useful telephone numbers will be sent together with your booking documents.

Emplacement magnifique mais prestations à améliorer
Points forts :
- Emplacement, seuls au milieu des collines toscanes,
- Bâtisse de caractère,
- Lieux de vie spacieux (chambres, salon et salles de bain)
- Transats / parasols fonctionnels et neufs
Points faibles :
- Arrivée sur place trop compliquée (1h30 à essayer de trouver un point GPS qui n'était finalement pas celui du portail d'entrée et une conciergerie qui parle peu anglais),
- Piscine inutilisable (eau verte et sale) 2 jours / 7, malgré l'intervention du pisciniste à deux reprises,
- Installation électrique très vieille : deux prises fonctionnelles pour 2 cafetières, un micro onde, une bouilloire, un grille pain etc.. et limite dangereuse (on prenait l’électricité en touchant le micro-onde).
- Détail à connaitre : bâtisse divisée en deux espaces (3 chambres / salles de bain d'un coté et 4 chambres / salles de bain de l'autre), qui se rejoignent uniquement par la terrasse en haut des escaliers.
