Wonderful place in Tuscany
We stayed here for 10 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the Villa, the Tuscan ambiance and the close proximity to Volterra. The house manager, Allisandro (Alex) was a great host. Flawless communication, friendliness, attention to our needs and providing local advice were all excellent and appreciated.

Amazing Tuscan Retreat
This place was so amazing. It is very large and appropriate for 5-6 adults. Volterra is a wonderful Tuscan town with cafes, shops, restaurants and groceries. The check in process was seamless and we used WhatsApp for communication throughout our stay. Alessandro was amazing and very accommodating. His recommendations for eating and what to see were very helpful. I highly recommend this place as it is close to Pisa and Frienze.

Wonderful stay at Le Macine
The property is very spacious & clean. The garden & pool area is enormous & has plenty of sun & shade areas to relax in. The location is perfect & the lovely town of Volterra is only 10 mins by car but also ideal for reaching many other beautiful Tuscan hill top villages & cities. Alessandro was most helpful advising where to eat, drink & places to visit. Nothing was ever too much trouble he was always quick to respond & his English was amazing unlike our Italian. Alessandro also has a lovely small restaurant not far from the property which he runs with his mother who is the cook there & her food was amazing, we dined there twice it was so good. We really enjoyed our stay at Le Macine it was just perfect. Thank you Alessandro & Marzia for a memorable holiday.

A Tuscan Treasure
Le Macine is the ideal retreat set in rural Tuscany, a perfect location from which to visit the picturesque towns nearby. Marcia and Alessandra are helpful friendly hosts who also run an excellent local restaurant nearby The villa and gardens are spacious and the large swimming pool is fabulous. The local road can seem busy at the weekends, while the cockerel only adds to the charm of the place.

This is an away from it all house but in striking distance of everything great about Tuscany
We had a lovely winter break in this house. The house was great for exploring Volterra, San Gimignano and we also easily managed Siena and Florence for the day. The house is quiet and away from it all - but equally less that 10 minutes to Volterra. February turned out to be a great month to visit these historic towns as they remained cool and with far fewer tourists. Nice house in a fantastic part of the world.

Sehr ordentlich, Lage jedoch zu laut
Gleich zu Beginn: Das Haus liegt in einem Tal direkt vor einer Kurve an einer kleineren Straße nach Pisa und zu einem Gewerbegebiet auf ungefähr 120 Meter Seehöhe. Die Straße wird oft befahren. Am Wochenende sehr gern von lauten Motorrädern. Es ist erst abends richtig ruhig. Der Pool ist nicht beheizt. Die Internetverbindung ist miserabel, auch im Haus mit gut erreichbarem Wi-Fi. Hätten wir das gewusst, hätten wir es nicht gemietet. Die Kommunikation und der Empfang mit dem Gastgeber war sehr ordentlich und perfekt. Das Haus in der Toskana in Volterra war sehr sauber, gepflegt und das Anwesen selbst war auch sehr gepflegt. Die Innenausstattung des Hauses ist gut. Die Küchenausstattung ist hinsichtlich Kochmesser (unscharf), Besteck und Töpfe leider unzureichend. Zwei Bäder sind großzügig und schön. Jedoch sind die Duschkabinen viel zu klein. Es wäre viel mehr Platz für komfortable Duschen. Die Betten waren für Erwachsene bedauerlicherweise nicht bequem. Durch die Konstruktion mit nur einer Matratze rollt man im 1,80 m Doppelbett automatisch in die Mitte und die Unterkonstruktion ist nicht sehr stabil. Der Vermieter hat auf unsere Bitte hin versucht, das zu korrigieren. Ungünstigerweise erfolglos. Wir haben uns das dann anders arrangiert. Da wir häufig unterwegs waren und Urlaub machen wollten, haben wir es uns erspart, das Haus zu reklamieren. Freundlichkeit, Empfang waren ausgezeichnet. Ruhe, Lage, Bettenqualität & Sanitär haben nicht unsere Erwartungen erfüllt.
