LE MACINE - SWIMMING POOL -AIR CONDITIONING - WI.FI

We had a wonderful stay at Le Macine. It is better and bigger than in the pictures...large rooms with tall ceilings.A great location with good food nearby and an great home base for trips south, to the beach (Viareggio), Pisa and of course Lucca.Bruna, Christina and her husband made sure we were well taken care of and were an easy text away if we needed something.We highly recommend this rental and we hope to be back !

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this comfortable house. The house was very well equiped and extremely clean. We even managed to use the pool even though the temperatures were dropping a little.

Quaint old house, dark and cool on the inside, beautiful garden and terrace on the outside.

Conveniently located outside of Lucca, this home is well equipped and comfortable. Christina is a great host and very responsive.

We had a great vacation. Everything was good and the pool was very good. Location is perfect to go to the beach or visit Lucca, Pisa, Florence..(of course you need a car). Thank you Cristina for everything!

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.

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!!

Cristina is a very friendly host and takes care of this nice house. Everything you expect is available which makes this place a comfortable place to spend your time and to use it as a basis for discovering the region.

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.

We enjoy a fantastic holiday week in this nice home, swimming pool, sunny terrace, flowers... Located in a quiet arronding near the town Lucca. The owners take care on the property very well. Perfect with kids . Cuisine très bien équipée et propriétaires très affables et accueillants.
