Villa Macciano is a splendid Tuscan contemporary villa, located within in the Val d'Orciaa (province of Siena). The villa is easily reachable from Via Cassia that connects San Gimignano to Barberino Val D'Elsa, and moreover is accessed through an electronic gate, ensuring the utmost privacy. The road to the the property is unpaved but in good condition. Inside the park you will find a private swimming pool (5 x 13 m), surrounded by the lawn and equipped with parasols and sunbeds. The swimming pool also has an electric security cover with a double function: it provides peace of mind for families with children, and keeps the water warm at night. The swimming pool is open from the beginning of May to mid-October. Villa Maccianoi, which has been carefully restored, also has a magnificient garden court for the exclusive use of guests. Among the outdoor spaces, there is a loggia provided with a dining table, to relax while enjoying the surrounding countryside. At the guests' disposal there are also: 5 bicycles and a barbecue for tasty grills with friends.

San Gimignano is one of Italy's most beautiful towns, situated along the ancient Via Francigena. Here you can find a supermarket and many kinds of shops (butcher, pharmacy, bakery, green grocer and ice cream shop). Montalcino, known for the production of the "Brunello" wine, is characterized by pristine streets and stunning landscapes. Furthermore we also recommend a visit to the nearby abbey of Sant’Antimo, extraordinary example of Romanesque Lombard-French architecture built in onyx and alabaster. We suggest to visit the nearby Val d'Orcia, recognized in 2004 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This area is quintessential Tuscany, studded with delightful medieval villages, stone cottages, gentle hills, vineyards, olive groves, cypresses and grazing sheep. Among the hill towns of this area you will find:

- Castiglione d'Orcia, a medieval village located on a steep rocky hill upon which stands the fortress of Tentennano;
- Pienza, the town of Pius II, famous for "pecorino cheese", and also the set of Franco Zeffirelli's “Romeo and Juliet” movie;
- San Quirico d'Orcia, the heart of the Val d'Orcia and one of the most remarkable examples of medieval town planning.
- Montepulciano, thermal center with regal palaces, as well as the home of “Vino Nobile”.

Among Val d'Arbia are the renowned “Crete Senesi”, adored by photographers, poets and tourists from all over the world. Crete are a landscape of metaphysical beauty characterized by typical undulations of clay eroded by weather events. A good observation point to enjoy this beauty is the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, a place of meditation and prayer, surrounded by woods, where you can admire the frescoes by Sodoma and Signorelli. It is also worth visiting Siena and its surroundings: here you will find other medieval gems of incomparable charm which still remain intact, like San Gimignano, Monteriggioni and San Galgano.
