Nice and quiet place near Lucca

This is a wonderful place to discover Lucca and its surroundings, from sea to mountain, and from Pisa to Lucca. Cristina has always been helpful with us (for example, there was an important football match on TV that my son wanted to watch, and although the TV set was not properly working, she proposed that we can to their home to watch it !). We have managed to visit all the nice places from the house, and enjoy a peaceful time when coming back in the evening. We also recommend the pizzeria in the village : just perfect !

Sehr schöne Unterkunft. Die Vermieterin ist sehr zuvorkommend, gibt wetvolle Tipps ĂŒber die Gegend (z. B. die wunderbare und sehr pitoreske Wasserquelle, wo die Einheimischen ein großartiges Trinkwasser holen) und kommt ab und zu diskret ins GrundstĂŒck, um den Pool zu reinigen.Das Haus bietet alles, was man fĂŒr einen Aufenthalt braucht. Der Pooltank ist nicht groß, aber es reicht fĂŒr eine Erfrischung und Kinder haben darin den grĂ¶ĂŸten Spaß.Die Straße, die direkt am GrundstĂŒck vorbei fĂŒhrt, ist manchmal etwas laut aber am Abend bzw. nachts ist es dort ganz still. Die Gegend ist wunderschön - man kann direkt dort tolle Wanderungen beginnen - und das Meer nicht weit (ca. 30 Minuten).Alles in Allem, wir ĂŒberlegen sogar nochmal hinzufahren.

Le paradis sur terre

Maison exceptionnelle en Toscane, dans un magnifique village. Avec toutes les commoditĂ©s Ă  porter de la main. La maison est trĂšs chaleureuse et Christina, trĂšs accueillante. À quelques kilomĂštres Ă  peine de la magnifique ville de Lucca, les activitĂ©s ne manqueront pas. Pour nous la maison Ă©tait un point central pour visiter les Cinques terres, Pise, Florence et se balader en Toscane. Tout est Ă  moins de 1:30:00 en voiture. Et oui, besoin d’une voiture pour se dĂ©placer sauf pour la pizzeria Ă  600m de la maison (meilleur tiramisu que j’ai manger de ma vie)

Superb location for a family holiday

This is an ideal property for a family. I stayed for two weeks with my two teenage children and we had a wonderful time exploring the stunning towns, beaches, countryside and mountains in the surrounding area. The house is well-provisioned with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The owner, Cristina, looked after us exceptionally well, giving us practical recommendations for things to do as well as helping us to look after the house. The location, in a village about 12 minutes from Lucca, is stunning. The plunge pool was a real bonus on hot days.

Wundervoller Trip in die Toskana

Wir durften in diesem sehr schönen toskanischen Haus 9 Tage bleiben. Die Lage des Hauses ist zwar etwas weitab vom Schuss, so dass man ohne Auto nur schwer wohin kommt, aber trotzdem kann man die Lebensmittel fĂŒr den tĂ€glichen Bedarf problemlos zu Fuß besorgen. Auch ein sehr gutes Restaurant (dringend rechtzeitig reservieren) ist innerhalb von 10 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen und auch ein ausgezeichnetes Eislokal ist im selben Ort. Das Haus st nach toskanischem Stil erbaut und sehr gut ausgestattet. Der Pool ist am Tag fĂŒr eine Erfrischung genau richtig. Die Klimaanlagen im Schlafzimmer kĂŒhlen am Abend die Schlafzimmer auf angenehme Temperaturen herunter. Cristina war eine wundervolle Gastgeberin, die immer da war, wenn man sie brauchte. Alles im Allen eine Empfehlung wert.

Great Relaxing Break in Idyllic Villa

Having been to Tuscany before we knew it was a great place but to find Le Macine was a real bonus! Whilst rural, you will definitely need a car to explore, but if staying at the Villa is your thing then there are amenities close by, supermarket, bank etc but especially a family cafe/store called Bar Italia and a fantastic restaurant called La Conca.. best pizza ever!! The villa is as described set out in a traditional Tuscan style and has everything you can need, especially the air con which was needed everyday as temps were 32-36 degrees. This is paid separately but was not expensive so for us is well worth it. Whilst the pool is not the usual sunken pool it is still a great place to cool off and at 5.5m x 2.7m is a great addition at the villa. With Lucca 15 mins max. in the car it is a great base for exploring with places like Viareggio, Pistoia, Montecatino Alto, Montecarlo and fine wineries (try Buonamico Wine Resort, fabulous sparkling Rose!) all well under an hour. However you could spend all your time in Lucca as such an amazing city with lots of activities and fabulous restaurants and bars in an exceptional setting. Trains in Lucca can get you to Florence and Cinque Terre for day trips although both very busy in the hot summer. We had some great times just eating bread, cold meats and olives (all from Bar Italia) in the beautiful villa garden which has a couple of different places to sit and relax and gets the sun all day. There is also a nice BBQ area although we did not use this. Cristina was our contact and she was a delight as check-in was very easy despite a later arrival as well as helping and checking we were OK but never intrusive which made us feel very welcome and basically "at home"! All in all one of the best villa holidays we have had in recent years which is so different from the Iberian experiences but so much better. We will definitely be back as still so much to see and do in Tuscany!!

Nice countryside holiday with my family and friends

This place is actually better than you could think when looking at the pictures. We had 4 adults and one 9 year old in our company which is quite optimal for this apartment. There are very spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds and lots of cabin space for all your clothes. Living area is also good place to relax after your day and there is basically everything you need in the kitchen.. maybe few more forks and tea spoons would have been good to have. Yard is large enough to enjoy the sun during the day and doing bbq and dining in the evenings. There are sun beds and chairs for everyone to use. Actually we planned to visit the beach more often but only made a short visit once because it was so comfortable and nice to spend time at the house. Also, it saved our time to visit all the nice places around like Montecarlo, Pisa, outlet in Florence and so on in the afternoons after sunbathing in the morning. Cristina took so good care of us before, during and after the trip and ensured we get all the information we need. Messaging was all the time almost instant for whatever question we had. Unfortunately we did not meet because she had to travel elsewhere. However, that was not a problem because her mother took so good care of us onsite (hello there!). So, we did not have to worry about anything but just stay and enjoy.

Enjoyed our stay in this comfortable house!

We had a lovely stay at the house! Upon our arrival we found a bottle of wine and some delicious appetizers thoughtfully left for us by Cristina. Any problems we had were quickly resolved by Cristina, and the house was well equipped. The house was updated in terms of comfort and I believe recently renovated from it's original purpose as a mill, but it maintains its "old world" flavor! Loved the backyard too!

Beautiful house in a great location.

The house has a certain charm and is located close to the lovely town of Lucca. We managed to get out to Florence, San Gimignano, Volterra, Pisa, Bagni di Lucca - all fairly close by. The house is well equipped with pretty much everything you need. We used the air conditioning as little as we could (it was over 30 degrees every day!) - mostly overnight. It cost us 30 euros for the week. There were three of us - any more than 4 would be tight. The plunge pool is a godsend. In the heat we had we depended on it! It is about 18 feet by 9 feet and is just brilliant. There is a lovely pizzeria about 500 metres up a small hill that serves lovely food. Overall, I would recommend this property.

A true Italian experience!!! Our hosts were most gracious and helpful. Such a nice family and wonderful accommodations. Noni taught me how to make espresso! My wife and I stayed 7/8 nights and loved the central location access to tourist spots and the return at the end of a travel day to the serenity and beauty that this property offers. We wanted for nothing. Rural charm complimented by a wonderful Italian family host.. We miss Le Macine and the family.

Wonderful Stay!

We have just arrived home from spending 6 nights in Le Macine - what a great place! The house felt very comfortable with beautiful furniture and many of the original features preserved. It is well-maintained and spotlessly clean and contains everything needed while on holidays. We loved the patio and garden in particular. It's a great base to work from with Lucca, Pisa and Florence all within commutable distance by car. Thank you Cristina and family for making us feel so welcome.

Great place for exploring Tuscany

My husband, grandson, and I spent 6 wonderful nights at Le Macine. We enjoy self-catering and always try to stay in an area that offers a look at how the local people live. The house is just as depicted with everything needed for the perfect stay in Tuscany. The house is spacious and is a great place for families traveling with children or teenagers. We especially enjoyed the gardens full of flowering plants and patio where we had breakfast, dinner and a glass of wine each day. Lucca is just a few minutes drive and convenient to Florence, Pisa and other major sites. Our grandson even got to through a line in the brook behind the house. We enjoyed driving around the back rounds close to the house and seeing the Tuscany not usually experienced from the autostrada. Cristina and her father were gracious hosts, even providing a welcome pack of goodies when we arrived. Thank you for your hospitality.

When we arrived Cristina was there to greet us very nice. Lovely decor and very roomy just as pictured.A beautiful private garden which we used a lot.The location is great for touring the hill towns,the views are amazing.Florence is about an hour away,Sienna near two .We went there after a local gent on a bike said it was nicer than Florence ,and we agree.Best of all the walled city of Lucca is 15 minutes away from the house and it's awesome. We had a wonderful time staying in Cristina's house,thankyou Cristina.

Wonderful accommodations for family and couples

Although it's been months since our stay, we still talk about our fantastic time at Le Macine. Christina and her family her incredibly generous. With two small children (4 and less than two at the time of our stay), we were so grateful for the layout of the house and the spacious yard. We have such fond memories of our mornings at Le Macine with coffee and breakfast in the dining room as the kids easily entertained themselves on the patio. Christina was so kind to bring over a play kitchen and table for the kids in addition to the toys the house already stocked. My mom joined us for a portion of the stay and it was perfect. We fell in love with Lucca and the surrounding towns. The pizzeria up the way was one of our favorite places and only wish we could have gone there more. Gatino Blanco in the next town was fantastic as well as the gelato at Pappa Grapa, I think everyone crossed there fingers that it would be open when we went by. There's also a great roadside coffee shop/cafeteria in the town just north of a Massa M. which we discovered too late. The coffee and pastries are delicious and definitely get the blood orange juice fresh squeezed, it's beyond!! The kids adored going to view the stream each day and looking out the windows on the top floor. We hope to return at some point as Massa Maciana was idyllic and Lucca was beyond measure ideal for our family. Our son learned to ride a bike there and the wall bike path is perfect for families. We seek out areas of countries which have very little traffic from Americans and Lucca is just that. Much more tranquil than most places in Italy. With such close proximity to Florence, the wine regions and the coast, this might be the perfect getaway in the Lucca region. We truly revel in our time there and loved our hosts - thank you!!
