montespertoli, Toscana
Situated in a strategic position halfway between Florence and Siena the castle S. Andrea a Cellole is within easy access of all the most important tourist sites, yet immersed in the quiet of the countryside where the birds sing and in the hot summer evenings the fireflies glow. Far from major roads and motorways the only sound you will hear is the odd tractor ploughing the vines.
What better way to spend a relaxing holiday in our mature garden , taking a dip in the large (12X6 m) pool and sunbathing on wooden sun loungers with mattresses, lunching under the shady pergolas or just sipping a glass of wine, or perhaps reading a book under a shady tree.
With both Florence and Siena little over half an hour away by car what could be easier than sightseeing the wonderful art treasures that Tuscany has to offer, returning in the latter part of the day to enjoy a quick dip before dinner in the garden or a foray out to one of the many typical restaurants in the area… of which still very good value.

Having travelled extensively we can honestly say that our stay in Murlo cottage was one of our very best self-contained experiences ever. Marzio and his wife Elena are the very best hosts. Nothing was too much trouble for them and Marzio had all the information at hand for us or knew how to find it out. The cottage was clean and comfortable with everything we needed for a lovely stay. The staircase was a bit of a challenge at first but soon we were up and down it like mountain goats! The swimming pool was lovely, especially after a hot day sightseeing around Tuscany. The BBQ that we had as an added extra that Marzio and Elena catered was DELICIOUS and it was entertaining mixing with other guests. All in all our stay was perfect. Be prepared for a narrow unmade road for the last section before arrival, but if you drive according to the conditions it is not a problem at all. It is definitely well worth it. We will recommend this accommodation to anyone we hear is travelling to Tuscany.
Perfect.Peace and quiet.
This villa is just perfect!! Views of the Tuscan Hills are spectacular. The rooms and kitchen is very spacious. The hosts are absolutely wonderful, spending as much time as we needed to become educated about the surrounding areas and attractions. We cannot wait to return!
My husband and I had a fantastic time visiting Tuscany and staying at Cellole and Cottage Murlo. The location is simply perfect, providing a quiet respite each evening after seeing the local sights during the day. Located in Chianti, vineyards, restaurants, and amazing hill towns (Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano) are all very close. The owners are full of a wealth of information and provided us with many welcome resources--setting up restaurant reservations, wine tastings, and driving/parking suggestions. Marzio was so very pleasant and helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend this vacation rental--we hope to return someday soon ourselves!
We stayed for a week mid-September and it was fantastic! The location is perfect, rural but within easy reach of Siena, San Gimignano and Florence. The property is spotless and stocked with everything you need and the owners couldn't be more helpful. Thank you Adela for a wonderful, well be back
A gem in the country, so quiet and peaceful and very well kept. Everything we could hope for with helpful hosts about restaurant, wine tasting, activities suggestions and hospitality, we will return. You will be awed at the story of this house/castle/church.
We stayed here for a week during a three week touring holiday in Italy. Adela, Mauro and Marzio made us very welcome but without being intrusive. The location is away from the main roads but by no means remote from a selection of restaurants within a 15-20 minute drive, and all major Tuscan attractions are easily accessible. Relaxing in the peace and quiet of the beautiful grounds with the excellent pool was a real highlight of our holiday overall providing the perfect balance to some of the busier locations we visited. We look forward to returning when our travel plans next take us in this direction.
For those who want a romantic away from it all stay this property is superb. Beautifully restored by the owners with a lovely outdoor pool and only two other guest properties it really was perfect for us on our honeymoon. Within easy travelling of Florence, Siena a car is a must but in terms of relaxing this was perfect. The owners are very helpful and happy to recommend any visits, restaurants that you may require. All in all a stunning break and highly recommended.
This is a great location to experience the beauty of Tuscany. People interested in history find this place even more interesting and mystical. Check out the history on their website. Owners did an incredible job restoring the beauty of this place. The entire family lives on site , so it so convenient to seek their advise. They are very helpful and knowledgeable and for us it felt like we were with family. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family members. We loved our 5 day stay. Tuscany is my favorite place in Italy!!!!
We stayed in cottage Murlo for 10 days, me my husband my mum and Auntie. From before we arrived Adela the lady who owns the property was absolutley amazing, from her directions to her property to telling us where the nearest supermarket was was just spot on. When we arrived we were greeted by Adela who showed us to our spotless accommodation which had everyting you would want. The pool was spotless and was cleaned every morning and most days we had the pool to oursevles which was great. During our stay we visited Florence, Siena, Pisa, & San Gimignano Adela told us the best places to park in each of these places which really helped alot. A Car is definitley needed if staying here but not too far to the local village to pick up your essentials or have morning coffee and a pastry which we did most mornings when not out sightseeing. Whilst you may find that owners staying onsite with you whilst on holiday a little off putting haveing Adela and her husband on site was great and really helped us thoroughly enjoy our stay. will definitley recommend staying here and will be returning at some point in the future. Thanks for a wonderful stay Adela.
