Description
LA MACINA FARMHOUSE AND OLIVE OIL ESTATE is located on the hills of Lucca, 280 meters high in a dominant and panoramic position near the village of CICIANA among among a 5 ha private estate where the owners produce EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL. The infinity pool (size 12 metres x 6.5 metres) has a breathtaking view over the town of Lucca.
LA MACINA FARMHOUSE AND OLIVE OIL ESTATE is located on the hills of Lucca in the village of CICIANA among among a 5 ha private estate where EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL is produced by the owners. The rental property is made up of 3 stone houses which are all located around the pool and that are rented entirely to only 1 party per time, so privacy is never compromised. This is an area of Tuscany that opens up endless exploring possibilities: medieval hilltop towns, some of Europe's most renowned vineyards and some of its most alluring sights and cities. Pisa, Florence and Siena are all under an hour away and within 10 to 15 minutes you can be in Lucca city centre inside the walls. A week of serious exploring combined with easy relaxation strikes an excellent balance. La Macina Farmhouse invites outdoor living: you are fabulously well set up with a poolside terrace for drinks and unforgettable evenings with your friends while enjoying the view of the town at your feet, or for creating a wonderful atmosphere in the evenings, sunset on cue and maybe some bruschetta and a glass of Chianti in hand. By the side of the main house there s a fabulous shady area with big reclining wooden chairs and an outdoor fully equipped kitchen with a big refrigerator, electric oven, stoves, dishwasher and BBQ + wood fired pizza oven. Around the front it s set up for al fresco dining with a stone table and chairs to sit 12 that call for long dinners and plenty of chatter deep into the balmy evenings. The INFINITY POOL with hydromassage Jacuzzi area (pool size it is 12 metres x 6.5 metres) is magnificent and has an amazing deck with 8 sunbeds and a view over the valley. Next to the pool there is a bathroom. The pool system uses no chlorine but salt, so the water is healthy and perfect for children or those who are allergic. Quality beach towels are provided for each guest. The interiors are very well equipped and full of charm and despite its farmhouse appeal it comes with the right appliances and facilities to make any cook at home. There are dishwashers, good quality espresso machines, kettles, toasters, overns and microwaves. Each of the three houses has a kitchen and dining room for cosy meals and double doors open conveniently onto the front terrace and pergola area where guests can enjoy a glass of wine or dine watching the sun go down and each of the three houses has a living room for private relaxation.

La Macina Farmhouse was wonderful. The views from the house are amazing and the furnishings and quality of all the rooms excellent. Renate was great and explained everything we needed to know. We used the pizza oven, the BBQ and the outdoor kitchen most days. The pool was clean and the gardens well maintained - it was difficult to find fault with anything.

The road up to the house is narrow and windy and you have to be a confident driver. We went to a couple of local restaurants which were great but were always concious of getting home and preferably before it went dark. Of course this goes with the property and can't be changed but we feel people should be aware.

Actually not very much. It would be nice to be able to store more of the dishes outside (and thus not having to walk inside all the time).
Dry wood and equipment to make a fire (also for pizza) would have been much appreciated.

We had a wonderful stay in this stunning villa in the hills of Lucca. You get an exceptional view, wonderful 3 houses to stay in and a stunning garden and pool. The opportunity to charge our car over the night was helpful to visit Pisa, Florence and the sea. Our contact was always reachable via mobile and got us great tipps for activities and restaurants. If we ever get the chance again to visit this place, we will definitely take it. Restaurant Tip: Osteria da Severino , stunning view and great food!

Cela fait plusieurs fois que nous louons la Macina pour plusieurs semaines et c'est toujours un réel bonheur. 3 espaces différents permettent d'être à la fois indépendant et ensemble. La cuisine / salle à manger ouverte est très agréable et la Piscine magnifique. Les propriétaires prennent soin de leurs espaces et sont juste à côté en cas de besoin... Bref le rêve pour les amoureux de la nature, le tout proche de Lucca. Mais Chut... ne le dîtes pas à tout le monde !

Beautiful residence with a fantastic view. Great garden and wonderful pool. Nicer than on the photos. Bit of an adventurous drive up the hill but we met with someone from the house in the town of Lucca and they showed us the way, so check in was smooth and as arranged. We had no issuesproblems. Everything worked fine. Maybe not the super fastest WiFi in the world but it was not an issue. Enough normal cell coverage to compensate. Everything was very clean and the garden and pool are immaculate. Very private. What we did not realise is that essentially the residence consists of 3 separate cottages. One has two bedrooms and the two others have 1 bedroom each. All with additional bedsofas if necessary. This was great for us as we were two parties of 4 and 2 people, so we were all together and all had our privacy as well. I believe the residence is always rented as one, so you are always guaranteed privacy. The very nice owner lives in the main house next door and was available if necessary. Each cottage as full ammenities! Full kitchen with dishwasher and all the mod-cons and all have shower/wc plus nice living areas with brand new TVs incl netfilx etc. They are not huge cottages but this is a place made for outdoor living anyway. The outside kitchen (also with ALL amenities!!) is fantastic, boasting a big bbq area and a real pizza oven..... We used it all and it was fantastic. We visited late autumn and it was unexpectedly cold. We could not quite enjoy all the outside possibilities but used the outside kitchen anyway because it was so much fun! As mentioned the house is up on a hill with incredible views so a bit of a drive is necessary to get out and about but absolutely worth it. Big food shopping store 15min by car down the hill. Absolutely worth it - would definately book again.

We really enjoyed our holiday in a beautiful house with breathtaking surroundings. First of all, there's a lot of privacy and the accommodation is perfect for families/groups. The house is nicely decorated and very clean. The view, garden and swimming pool are amazing. We liked the outdoor kitchen, including a pizza oven and barbeque. Location is good, restaurants, supermarkets and multiple cities are easily accessible. Everything was just perfect and we would absolutely recommend this beautiful place.

My family and I (6 adults and a toddler) stayed here for two weeks in late June. The location is stunning, as the photos show, and the outside spaces worked very well for us, for breakfast, lunch, dinner, chilling out by the pool, playing games etc. The pool is the most amazing I have ever seen! The three villas are all very nice inside - everything was clean, comfortable and worked well. The kitchens are well equipped. The beds were very comfortable and it's a very peaceful spot so we all slept well. The layout of the three villas is good for privacy as we all had our own space. The villa is beautiful and the views are stunning. Waking up everyday to the most beautiful view and relaxing atmosphere was perfect. Mrs Sonia was very accommodating to our needs also. The restaurant at the bottom of the villa is great! We will definitely come back!

We had a great stay at the villa. There are 3 separate houses. One has two bedrooms, the other two have 1 bedroom each. It was great for 3 couples and a kid as all of us had our own rooms. They can provide cribs if requested. We were so happy with this rental. There is a beautiful view of Lucca over the pool. There is a nice kitchen in the middle house that we used to make breakfast most days. There is a washing machine that we used quite a bit as our toddler generates a lot of dirty clothes. My son enjoyed petting and feeding the horses on the property. Barbara, the owner, is available and very friendly. She stocked the fridge with groceries based on our list and arranged a private chef for us one night. That was a highlight of our trip and we strongly recommend doing that. If we ever plan a trip to Tuscany again, we will try and return!

We stayed at La Macina Farmhouse for ten nights in October 2024. The photos do not not truly capture how special this 16th century villa is, it is magical. There were days we did not leave the villa as it had everything we could wantneed and was such a nice retreat from the cities we visited in the surrounding region. It is perfectly located in the hills above Lucca, day trips to Firenze, Sienna, Pisa, Carrara, Forte di Marmi and Parma are easy to drive to for daily adventures. The restaurants in the surrounding hills were incredible with great menus at very reasonable prices. I highly recommend this property and Lucca Apartments & Villas for their exceptional service.

Well we all just wanted to say that we had the BEST vacation in your lovely country.
Your help and guidance was INVALUABLE!! Katherine from Tuscan Drivers was just perfect as we had some interesting challenges from Airline changes to road closures to the Villa to early morning departures. She was WONDERFUL and so was Andre in assisting us at the last minute. Cristina and her daughter are EXCELLENT chefs and they made our stay just perfect. From provisioning the villa, to making dinner, to shopping and to assisting us for many small requests. They were just the BEST!!! The Villa itself was perfect for us and the outside kitchen really made us feel like we truly lived in Tuscany. Needless to say the pool was well used and a FANTASTIC place to relax and cool off. Our weather was perfect to enjoy all aspects of the Villa. We even met the owner Mr. Martinelli who helped us out of a potential transportation problem and who would not even take a tip!!! We speak no Italian and he speaks a little English. It was very, very funny. He is a delightful man. The masseuse Alina was WONDERFUL! We all agreed it was one of the best massages EVER. She was on time, personal, spoke perfect English and was just great. I would highly recommend her and and she did 3 massages in one day!!! Our wine tour day and lunch were spectacular and our wine has already arrived from Lucca. Each wine was better than the next. The whole experience was perfect and we have you and Cristina to thank for that. I would like to be able to post a review to Marriott, Tuscan Drivers and one about you but really have no idea how to do that. If you have any ideas I would be happy to be able to give the credit your all deserve and to share with others who may need your help. Thank you again for all your wonderful help and may you stay safe and healthy. We may be back....... |

Great place! Fantastic views over the mountains and flat-land of Lucca. Great interior and exterior. Great host and the lovely Mrs Cristina can help you with purchase of food and cook wonderful dinners. She helped us out when our plane was delayed and cooked a magnificent dinner one night. 500 meters from the house is Botteghino, a bar and a restaurant also a great place. Get your take-away pizzas in the village below the house, a 5-minutes drive. Supermarket Esselunga is 10 minutes from the house they have everything you need. Comfy beds and efficient wifi. The villa is great and so are the sorroundings. We are very pleased with our stay.
Also, I want to let Christina know again how wonderful the dinner you prepared for us was. I would love your pizza recipe as it was very different than pizza that we get in the United States. |

The outside of this property could not have been any better. The pool area is amazing and extreme-ly clean (perfect for adults and small children). The pool is set up with a large landing perfect for little children learning to swim, a spa like area with bubbles and a constant 5 ft depth throughout. The view is breathtaking as advertised and the pictures on this listing are what you will find, only live is better. There are two outdoor showers, a refrigerator for drinks and a very nice bathroom outside as well which were excellent amenities and the grounds are amazing. A hammock under a covered trellis with a view of Lucca and horses at arms length,roses that climb rock walls with rosemary and butterflies - simply amazing. It was a great stay. Sonia has some great recommendations on things to do, make sure to ask. We’ll be back!
