Our Farmhouse in Pienza is just a few minutes away from the principal medieval villages of Val d'Orcia, such as Monticchiello, and its Castello dei Cavalieri Templari, home of the renowed teatro povero; Pienza, the Renaissance dream of Pio II; Montepulciano, hometown of the distinguished humanist "Il Poliziano"; Montalcino and its exceptional wines; Bagno Vignoni, a breath-taking suburb developed around an ancient Roman thermal pool; Chiusi, Etruscan city of the VIII century A.C.; and Radicofani, with its fortress which dominates the valley.

The buildings of the estate date back to the 17th century. The apartments for rent have been renovated with great care and are for parties from 2 to 6 persons.
The owner of Le Macchie Andrea Giurato is a dedicated cook and will enjoy introducing you to the exquisite regional cuisine, for instance with a 4-course menu matched with a special selection of wines. Our three charming and exquisitely private apartments (sleeping two - six) can be rented separately or together by the week.
