Spacious apartment (90 m²), historic palace, own rooftop terrace, 2 bedrooms
Arranged in Tuscan- style, located in a 19th century house (in Italy: palace) on a quiet alleyway (no through traffic) in the historic district of Massa Marittima. The rooftop terrace (deck chair, table and chairs) can only be reached through this apartment and offers a vast view over the idyllic roof landscape down to the sea and will be perfect for sunbathing, feasting and relaxing. Also from inside the bedrooms you will enjoy a gorgeous view of the historic city wall and the hilly landscape leading down to the coast. The comfortably arranged apartment (90 m²) has a spacious living room/kitchen (dishwasher), a comfortable living and dining room with a wide round arch, 2 bedrooms, a modern bathroom and a separate WC. The apartment was carefully and stylishly modernized. The original cotto flooring, the high set wooden beam ceilings (in all rooms), the historic ceiling paintings and variety of antiques add a special charming touch.
Ideal location during every season: The apartment is an ideal starting point for Tuscan- explorations during every season: the gentle, sunny winter, the blossoming spring, the summer ideal for swimming, the warm, aroma rich fall. No matter if your are mostly interested in the culture, in taking a relaxing bath, in photographing the landscape’s beauty or being tempted by the local culinary specialties: you will feel at home while staying at our comfortable and tastefully arranged apartment. There are heating options available for the winter. Especially appealing is having a glass of wine on the rooftop terrace while enjoying a view of the sunset or having dinner at the atmosphere-rich cathedral square and enjoying the Tuscan- specialties. Also historically known places are easily reachable for one day trips due to the good highway connections. For example, Siena (60km), Florence (120 km) or Pisa (100 km). Tips on parking options are displayed at the apartment.
Water and culture for adults and children: You are within 20 minutes of the sea. The light sand beaches with kilometer long pine groves belong to the most beautiful ones in all of Tuscany due to their vast extent and the picturesque bays and they are also not too overcrowded (boat rental).The very clean sea called Lago Accesa (8 km) is an alternative to the sea. Different nature parks extend you an invitation to go hiking and on exploration tours (hiking guides in bookcase). Children will be attracted to the stork and turtle park on site. For those interested in art and culture, the apartment will serve as a starting point for the exploration of Etruscan places(Vetulonia, Populonia, Roselle and Saturnia).On site and in the nearby surroundings you will find appealing cultural offers for trips: music events at old churches and monasteries, art and crafts exhibitions, walkable ore mines, traditional oil presses, historic wine cellars, local culinary festivals, antiques markets, traditional donkey and horse races.(info map on site
Enjoy wine in a pinturesque landscape: Drive along the 'Strada del Vino' and taste (and buy) wine and olive oil directly from the farmers. Of special interest for wine lovers is the small city of Montalcino with its gorgeous old city district. It is the origin of one of Italy’s best wines: 'Brunello di Montalcino', which is matured in oak barrels and can be tasted everywhere on site and in the surroundings. You might combine a dégustation with a walk, a several hour hiking tour or a bicycle tour through Maremma's original landscape (rides). A special attraction are the hot water springs of Saturnia and Petriolo (bathing options). Massa Marittima is, due to its central location, best suitable for restful purposes and is located near to the sea and serves as a starting point for the sightseeing of famous Tuscan cities. There is also the possibility to explore many small and appealing places in the nearby surroundings, where you will run into few tourists.

Notes
- The apartment was designed throughout the years with much love and in a Tuscan style (and is still being designed following that theme). Although our personal touch clearly manifests itself, we try to offer our guests a lot of room for freedom. You will find flat areas everywhere on which you can spread out and overtake the 'property’s ownership'. We are glad when our guest feels well and also if they are able to enjoy a nice vacation at our gorgeous apartment. The positive response (coming also from former guests) gives us security (see guestbook). Bed linen, bath towels and dry towels can be rented upon request. A detailed and often beloved city map offering many tips (trips, restaurants, shopping...) is displayed at the apartment. Heating service is available during the cold winter months. Your contact will be on site (for questions) lives a floor down. We would be glad to send you our little brochure.

Tolle Wohnung für einen schönen Toscana Urlaub
Kommen gerade aus unserem Urlaub in Massa Marittima zurück! Wir waren begeistert! Die Wohnung ist perfekt ausgestattet und sehr geräumig. Wir haben uns auf der Stelle wohl gefühlt! Es wurde auch absolut an alles gedacht, es gibt nichts was fehlt (Bücher, Spiele, alles was man in der Küche braucht...)! Die Lage im Zentrum ist auch perfekt. Man kann direkt von der Wohnung aus am Abend gemütlich ins Städtchen spazieren, wo einem viele tolle Restaurants erwarten!
Wir können diese Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen!
Gut gelegene und ausgestattete Ferienwohnung in Massa Marittima
Die Wohnung ist wie in der Anzeige beschrieben. Die Lage -nur ein paar Schritte vom Domplatz entfernt- ist super. Es ist alles da, was man braucht. Ein kleines Minus war lediglich, dass der Sonnenschirm auf der Dachterrasse nicht funktionstüchtig war, so dass man diesen traumhaften Teil der Wohnung nur bedingt nutzen konnte.
Gerne wieder!
Wir waren nun schon das 2. Mal hier in der Wohnung in Massa, und sicher nicht das letzte Mal. Die Wohnung ist wunderbar gelegen, top ausgestattet, großzügig und alles hat reibungslos funktioniert. Das Highlight ist natürlich der unvergleichliche Ausblick über Massa bis hin zum Meer von der Dachterrasse aus! Sehr empfehlenswert, um echtes italienisches Urlaubsfeeling zu bekommen!

Eine echte "Traum- Wohnung"
Wir (1 Ehepaar) waren vom 17.5. - 7.6.2014 in dieser absolut geschmackvollen
und liebevoll im Detail eingerichteten Wohnung. Alles ist sehr großzügig und
ebenfalls praktisch (Geschirrspüler und Waschmaschine). Ebenfalls ist die
Küche mit allem Geschirr und gut funktionierendem Herd und
großem Kühlschrank mit Eisfach ausgestattet. Im Wohnzimmer gibt es jede
Menge gute Literatur und viele nützliche Tips für Ausflüge in die Umgebung
oder an einen der schönen Strände. Abends haben wir unser Glas Rotwein
sehr gerne auf der schönen Piazza am Dom genossen. Der "Hit" ist die
Terasse mit Blick auf die alte Stadtmauer, über die Landschaft bis zum Meer:
wunderbar!! Schön auch, daß man direkt mit Italienern wohnt. Wurden ab
dem 3. Tag schon von Nachbarn freundlich gegrüßt.
Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit und kommen sehr gerne wieder in diese Wohnung in dem bezaubernden Massa Marittima zurück.
Johanna und Wolfgang
Auch diese Bewertung freut uns sehr, denn sie ist eine schöne Bestätigung dafür, dass die Wohnung durch Einrichtung, Ausstattung und Lage die Bedürfnisse unserer Gäste an erste Stelle setzt. Dadurch haben wir zahlreiche Gäste, die als "Wiederholungstäter" immer wieder kommen. Und die freundliche und aufgeschlossene Art unserer italienischen Nachbarn haben wir diesem wunderbareb Land zu verdanken!
Mit Herzlichen Grüßen
Barbara und Norbert Rittmann
Wunderbar und mittendrin
Wir haben sehr schöne Tage über Ostern verbracht - in einem nicht allzu touristischen Ort mit netter Bevölkerung, offen und freundlich...
Und die Wohnung war immer ein kleines Nachhausekommen! Wunderbar ausgestattet, -sogar mit Nudelmaschine und Bettflasche-, eine bestens sortierte kleine Bibliothek, Spiele, Karten... alles da! Und die Dachterrasse ist spektakulär - leider hat das Aprilwetter uns nur wenige Abende da oben gegönnt...
Es war erholsam und gemütlich - und die Vermieter waren ausgesprochen nett und unkompliziert ---- wir kommen gerne einmal wieder! Vielen Dank noch für den Prosecco!
Ps: Auch unsere Kinder haben sich sehr zuhause gefühlt!
Danke für die tolle Rückmeldung! Wir freuen uns besonders, wenn die Großen und Kleinen unsere Wohnung so genießen!
Sehr schön!
Tolle Wohnung, sehr schöner Ort - fussläufig zu erreichen. Alles so, wie auf den Bildern im Internet beschrieben. Wir haben uns superwohlgefühlt. Kommen gerne wieder!
Location
Massa Marittima is a special, appealing village rich in medieval and gothic influence located in the Tuscan hilly landscape nearby the sea (18 km). When you step outside the house you get the feeling of being part of the cast in a film set in the Middle Ages. Despite its quiet location it offers many cultural attractions (museums, etc.), appealing shops (boutiques, art and antiques). You can enjoy a typical local dinner for a moderate price or a pizza on the plaza (no traffic, children can romp around.) Whether it be the appealing city lights on the facade of the famous cathedral or the view when looking at the medieval palace, you will understand why this spot is mentioned in many travel guides as one of the most beautiful places in all of Tuscany. And yet Massa Maritima is not an overcrowded place, it has kept the charm of a typical Italian small city and you can easily travel through it (stroll around, have ice cream, etc.). Golf: Two of Italy´s most gorgeous and exclusive golf courses are located near Massa Marittima ('Golf club Toscana' and 'Golf club Punta Ala'). The 18- hole courses are playable throughout the whole year and are located in the middle of vineyards and the olive groves. They are specially designed with small lakes, waterfalls and with typical plants from the south. The courses are just 10 and 20 km away and also offer a yacht and tennis club. Here you can connect a special, golf experience with a spa and culture vacation in an ideal fashion. Ski: Monte Amiata (1.740 above sea level) is located 60km away from Massa Marittima, is of volcanic origin and offers ski options from the winter to spring. The volcano has remained inactive for nearly 2000 years, hot springs and geysers are a sign of its volcanic background and are used to gain geothermal energy. The exuberant plant life (thick chestnut and beech forests) and diverse wildlife (eagles, hawks..) makes it worthwhile to take a walk during any season. Monte Amiata attracts people during the springtime due to its blossoming flowers, its hillside remains pleasantly cool during the summer and in fall, it becomes attractive due to the abundance of mushrooms. The hiking paths head mainly into the forest region, but also lead into the nearby 19th century mines and through medieval towns that have come into existence mostly located along Via Cassia (such as Abbadia San Salvatore, Piancastagnaio...)
