Macia Viva is a charming holiday home in Chianti, set in a secluded
position on a hill with beautiful views over olive groves, vineyards
and the gentle green hills of the region. This country house is the
perfect choice for a family or two couples looking to enjoy relaxing
days surrounded by nature. The well-kept garden and L-shaped pool
create a peaceful and inviting atmosphere.
The house is located in the heart of the Chianti Classico, with easy
access to the region’s famous wineries, castles, towns and villages.
Siena is only about a 40-minute drive away, and Florence, San Gimignano
or Arezzo can all be easily reached for day trips. All other amenities,
as well as excellent restaurants and cafés, can be found just four
kilometres away in Castellina in Chianti. We especially recommend the
popular Ristorante Albergaccio di Castellina and the delicious gelato
from the Gelateria di Castellina.
The two-storey stone house offers two separate living and dining areas.
From the living and dining area on the first floor, guests can step
directly onto a furnished terrace with a cosy seating area. Another
large dining table by the pool is perfect for enjoying meals together
outdoors.
Inside, the house features a mix of traditional Tuscan elements such as
wooden beam ceilings and terracotta floors, combined with a
comfortable, modern interior. Light decor and large windows create a
bright and welcoming atmosphere that makes guests feel at home.
Macia Viva offers authentic Tuscan charm, peace and comfort and is a
wonderful retreat in the heart of Chianti.
