We found everything about Le Macine immaculately clean, well stocked, and well organized for our visit. The owner Cristina is a delightful person, who was incredibly helpful in arranging our stay, obtaining a wireless key for internet access, stopping by to bring candles and check in on us one night when the house lost power very briefly in a storm (emergency backup lights were actually present which immediately lit on both floors so we could see throughout the house safely), and being extremely available to meet us to pick up our deposit and return it at the of our stay. Our kids greatly enjoyed the yard, the many toys provided by Cristina, and the pretty antique furnishings throughout the house, and my husband and I appreciated the well-stocked kitchen (including some spices and basics that many rentals don't offer), the functional washing machine, and the very conveient layout of the house including two showers and real privacy between the two floors. It is quite a spacious house which provided plenty of play and spread out space for the two of us and our three children during our five night stay. The listing decription was perfectly accurate, the photos on the website were accurate (though the house and garden seemed nicer than the photos), and the location was as described. We all enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the 'Black Cat' restaurant down the road in Massa Macinaia. A car is needed to access Lucca and surrounding areas.
