About this property

"Sunflower 4" Romantic for two

40sqm + 15sqm of private garden and patio. Private entrances on the ground floor, table for outdoor dining, bench and rose garden. Small living room with sofa, kitchenette equipped with table, double or twin bedroom, wardrobe, desk, bathroom with shower, mosquito nets on the windows, wi-fi internet.
We offer you a stay in the heart of Tuscany where culture, environment and human relationships interpenetrate and harmonize. At the top, on a hill, which is also the seat of an ancient 11th century medieval tower, Macinella is located "Torre del Colombaio", for this reason a place of considerable historical and cultural interest. With the exceptional view of San Gimignano and all its territory, you can enjoy a relaxing holiday in contact with history and nature in a welcoming, familiar and artistic environment. Our four apartments are authentic period homes recovered according to the architectural style of the place, some are frescoed and carefully decorated. Our life is in intimate contact with nature and with the land that we love and wish to convey to our guests the experiences and tradition that are preserved and respected by us. The estate has 10 hectares of land, olive trees, cypresses, meadows, woods suitable for picnics, a little lake, walks, trekking, archery and riding stables nearby. There is a 6m x 12m masonry swimming pool new with hydromassage from which you can admire the wonderful view of the Tuscan landscape in complete relaxation. The land is worked directly by the owners who live there and you can, together with them, participate both in its cultivation and in the use of its genuine products on site. We have four fully furnished apartments, each with a particular feature. Your privacy is assured. It is possible to discover countless particular things (visit to the medieval tower, visit to the top of the tree, pic nic to the wood and little lake). Daily tours around to visit medieval town around and wine tour! Inside the property asking the owners for information.

We could not be happier with our stay. We were looking for a comfortable, relaxing base of operations in Tuscany and we're thrilled with the location, the ambiance and the hosts. The pool was a delightful feature during the hot spell we encountered. The unit had everything we needed but what stood out was the tranquility and surrounding beauty. Would return without hesitation.

Super!

A world on it's own on top of a mountain just outside of Poggibonsi. The owners created a beautiful landscape in a very creative and artistic environment. A magical place with super friendly hosts. Macinella 4 has a great atmosphere and is wonderfully decorated. We highly recommend it. Thanks Gloria and Stelio, we're looking forward to come again!

If your looking for an authentic stay in the Tuscan countryside this is it; the location is up a gravel road and set in the stunning surroundings of Tuscany. Parking is on site and allocate to each unit and the hosts whilst speaking a little English are really friendly and way to reach via WhatsApp. If, like me, your more used to 4/5* hotels this could be out of your comfort as this is more like a 2/3* self catering ski hotel but it has everything you need. Shops / supermarket is a 5/10 min drive away and has everything you need.

Beautiful Tuscan countryside getaway!

The property is very beautiful and rustic-it is off a gravel road so a car is needed, but it is not far from a supermarket and restaurants. The pool was delightful after a long hot day exploring the region, and the property was very large and perfect for multiple evening strolls. Stelio and Rossella were extremely friendly, accommodating, and helpful hosts. We were even greeted by one of the chickens and their dog! Stelio arranged a wine tasting with one of his friends, which was delightful. The bathroom is in need of some updates, but otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

No quite as advertised

When we arrived we had a difficult time locating the owner to check in. The owner was very garrulous about the property and it was quite impressive what he had made of it. On the other hand the room we chose was small not very clean and we had to leave after two weeks because my wife was being eaten up by mosquitos. The bathroom shower was impossible and not clean. The scenery was beautiful but unit left a lot to be desired. Kitchen was small and the appliances were very old. Hot water was a problem as well. Overall I would not recommend the property unless you go at a time when mosquitos are not everywhere or you are a single traveler.

Un luogo meraviglioso con ospiti meravigliosi!

Abbiamo trascorso 5 giorni in tranquillità in una posizione magnifica, circondati dagli splendidi panorami della campagna toscana. L'abitazione è circondata da un immenso parco, creato con amore da Stelio (il proprietario), dove ci si può rilassare in angolini sempre diversi, a contatto con la natura e dove potrete incontrare gatti, galline, colombe e la splendida Lia (la cagnolona di casa).La zona piscina, molto curata, è spaziosa e offre una splendida vista panoramica sul paesaggio punteggiato da numerosi cipressi.Da qui è possibile raggiungere facilmente in auto città e i borghi medievali della zona, Firenze e Siena sono facilmente raggiungibili in treno. I negozi di Poggibonsi sono raggiungibili in 10 minuti di auto.Stelio e Rossella sono stati degli ospiti meravigliosi e cordiali, sempre attenti ai nostri bisogni ma molto discreti, ci hanno fatto sentire come a casa. Speriamo di poter tornare al più presto in questo splendido luogo che ci è rimasto nel cuore.

Un endroit merveilleux

Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine de tranquillité dans un endroit superbe en plein milieu des beaux paysages de la Toscane. Le calme est surprenant. La plupart du temps on n’entend que le chant des oiseau. Le bonheur ! L’accueil était très chaleureux, et Stelio, Gloria et Rossella sont vraiment des hôtes charmants. Stelio a fait de cet endroit un vrai havre de paix, avec des coins pour se poser un peu partout dans la propriété. Bravo à lui. La vue est également superbe. Nous n’avons malheureusement pas pu profité de la très belle piscine (il faisait trop frais). San Gimignano qui est une ville à visiter, est seulement à 20mn, et Sienne est environ à 40mn. Les commerces sont à 10mn en voiture. Le seul bémol est qu’il y a très souvent énormément de moustiques. Pensez donc à ramener vos crèmes et spray répulsifs. En final nous avons passé un superbe séjour.

Ruhe, Natur, Kultur in greifbarer Nähe, Relaxen im Pool, freundlicher Vermieter

Freundlicher Empfang schon am Eingangstor des weitläufigen, auf einem der herrlichen toskanischen Hügel gelegenen großen Anwesens durch Rosalia, die Frau des Besitzers. Von diesem Tor aus konnte man schon den ersten Blick auf das nahegelegene San Gimignano genießen. Die erste Woche unseres 3-Wöchigen Aufenthalts haben wir wegen sehr großer Hitze fast nur im Pool, den wir die ganze Zeit fast für uns allein hatten, und der schattigen ( aber nicht klimatisierten) Wohnung verbracht. Die Wohnung ist rustikal und mit Liebe fürs Detail ausgestattet. Nur könnte die Küche und der Warmwasserdurchlauferhitzer mal einer Generalüberholung unterzogen werden… Der Kontakt (auf Englisch und Italienisch) zu den Vermietern, die auch auf dem Grundstück wohnen, ist sehr offen und freundlich. Wir wurden auch mit Obst und Eiern vom Hof beschenkt. Außerdem wurde jede Woche für frische Handtücher und Bettwäsche gesorgt. Und die Lage des Anwesens für kulturelle Unternehmungen ist einfach toll! Wir sind mit dem Auto nach Siena wie nach Florenz ungefähr eine 3/4 Stunde gefahren, haben an der Peripherie geparkt und sind jeweils für 1,70€ pro Person mit Straßenbahn bzw Bus in die Stadt gefahren… Wir bedanken uns bei Rosalia und Stelio für eine wunderschöne Zeit und auch für alle Einblicke in die Besonderheiten ihres wunderschönen Anwesens!

Etre au grand air et à proximité des sites à visiter

Souhaitions gérer nos moments de tranquillité et nos visites dans des sites touristiques. Nous avions comme programme, visiter les sites près de San Geminiano et jouir des moments de calme. Notre location se trouvait au milieu de grands espaces décorés de cyprès (image idyllique de Toscane) d'une piscine et d'endroits où s'isoler. Vue magnifique. Propriétaires très sympathiques.

Ein ganz besonderer Platz inmitten einer wunderschönen Landschaft

Das ehemalige Landgut „Macinella“ wurde von den Vermietern besonders liebevoll und individuell gestaltet. Es ist sehr ruhig gelegen auf einem der unzähligen toskanischen Hügel. Sämtliche Ferienwohnungen haben einen eigenen Eingang und befinden sich in einer typisch toskanischen, alten Villa. Das riesige zur Villa gehörende Areal bietet reichlich Platz zum Spazieren, Flanieren und Erholen. Die sehr gepflegte Pool-Anlage ist großzügig angelegt und bietet auch einen wunderschönen Rundblick auf die mit unzähligen Zypressen gesäumte Landschaft. Nur wenige Meter vor dem Anwesen bietet sich auch ein weiterer herrlicher Ausblick in die weite Landschaft mit der Silhouette von San Gimignano. Wir haben 2 Wochen gebucht (Anfang Juni 2023). Unsere Ferienwohnung (Girasole 4 / Sunflower 4) war ebenerdig gelegen, mit einem kleinen Frühstücksplatz unter einer Rosenlaube von der aus sich ein schöner Blick in die Gartenanlage eröffnet. Die Erwartungen an die Wohnungseinrichtung sollten nicht zu hoch sein. Die Ausstattung war sehr einfach und ist leider schon etwas abgewohnt. Vor allem das Bad sollte einer baldigen Renovierung unterzogen werden, damit noch viele Gäste den außergewöhnlich schönen Platz „Macinella“ genießen können. Unbedingt hervorheben möchten wir die Vermieter. Stelio und Rosella sind ganz besonders liebe, hilfsbereite und herzliche Gastgeber an die wir uns sehr gerne zurückerinnern.

Traumhafte Lage - erholsamer Urlaub

Wir waren im August für 10 Tage hier und haben jeden einzelnen Tag sehr genossen. Das Zuhause von Rosella und Stelio ist einfach nur traumhaft und sie sind absolut zu beneiden. Das besondere Flair hat mich sofort in seinen Bann gezogen. Man kann wunderschöne Spaziergänge machen und die Einsamkeit und Ruhe genießen. Den Pool hatten wir sehr oft für uns ganz alleine. Das Apartment ist einfach und zweckmäßig, auch wenn die Einrichtung schon älter ist haben wir uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Und das Bett ist super bequem! Jedoch waren wir froh, dass wir unseren Ventilator dabei hatten... ohne den wäre es nachts viel zu heiß gewesen. Die Lage ist sehr für Ausflüge vieler schöner Sehenswürdigkeiten zu empfehlen, die von hier aus schnell erreichbar sind. Der große Supermarkt ist nur 10 Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt. Alles in allem war es ein wunderschöner Urlaub, was letztendlich auch den lieben Gastgebern Rosella und Stelio zu verdanken ist. Die beiden kann man nur gernhaben.
