A second visit to this fabulous location - the views are stupendous, the pool is as lovely as it looks online, you can dine watching the sunset, and Francesco and Marcello are charming and helpful. A delight.

Les plus:
- situation géographique exceptionnelle.
- très belle maison sur une très grande propriété
- très belle piscine qui fait oublier la canicule
- Vue extraordinaire sur la campagne toscane
- La gentillesse et la disponibilité de Marcello, homme de l'ombre d'une redoutable efficacité.
Les moins:
- l'intérieur de la maison qui accuse son âge. Au tarif pratiqué, un grand rafraîchissement s'impose (éclairage déficient dans la cuisine, fonctionnement aléatoire de la climatisation, électro-ménager vétuste ...)

The pictures didn't lie! The minute we drove up to the villa it was exactly as shown in the pictures. The view was by far the best thing about the villa. It was very spacious and we felt at home there. Francesco, the key holder, was very accomodating and friendly. We felt the villa was in a very good location...very central to many places we visited. The town it's in Castellina in Chianti was very nice and quaint.

I booked a week at Macia Viva for mine and my wife's honeymoon. The villa is gorgeous and kept very clean. The pool is great, although it was a little cool for swimming by early September. The views are breathtaking and the location is very convenient to the local town as well as to nearby Florence and Seina. We loved our stay and would consider booking again in the future.
There were so many great restaurants and shops it is hard to pick a favorite. We never had a bad meal.

The villa was superb. Lovely and quiet, perfect view and very comfortable.
A word of praise for Francesco, from whom we had to pick up the key. He couldn't have been more helpful and made sure everything was perfect, nothing was too much trouble. He has a lovely wine shop in Castellina too.

The setting and views from the terrace are spectacular. The living space was very comfortable and light. In addition, it is a very good place from which to explore Tuscany.
Castellina in Chianti is extremely attractive with some nice shops. It really has everything you need in terms of supplies. The Gallo restaurant was very good. We also enjoyed Monteriggione and had a great day in Arezzo.

A truly beautiful villa with the most fantastic views. The swimming pool was fabulous being so close to the house. It felt safe and secure and had great access to Castellina in Chianti by car, not really possible to walk into Castellina with children at night. Dream villa
It would have been nice to have been able to walk from the villa into Castellina for restaurants.

Castellina's gellateria was a firm favourite we visited virtually every day! Restaurants in Castellina were very good, we visited Tre Porte and Il Re Del Gallo - fantastic. The Oosteria at Fonterutoli was also excellent and we would highly recommend the Mazzei wines including Castello di Fonterutoli.

Neben der Lage war das Grundstück inmitten eines Weingartens toll. Unbedingt zu erwähnen ist die unglaubliche Aussicht. Außerdem hat uns die offene Bauweise sowie die großzügigen Terrassen sehr gefallen. Die Einrichtung des Hauses ist sehr geschmackvoll, vollständig und gemacht um sich wohl und geborgen zu fühlen. Tägliche Betreuung war sehr persönlich und nett! Wir kommen wieder!
....einzig eine moderne Espressomaschine wäre das Tüpfelchen auf dem i!!! ;-)

La vue. La maison est située sur une colline, entourée de vignes et d'oliviers, et n'offre aucun vis-à-vis. La vue s'étend au-delà de San Gimigniano et est magnifique, grandiose.
Le service. Au moindre souci, Francesco, le gestionnaire, arrive sur place. Compétence, efficacité et gentillesse. Je n'ai jamais constaté auparavant un tel service, que du bonheur pour des vacances sans problème.
Le nettoyage, un peu approximatif. D'autre part, les draps et serviettes sont changés deux fois par semaine, ce qui est agréable. Table à manger sur la terrasse un peu basse mais la vue compense tout.
