About this cottage rental

Situated in a strategic position halfway between Florence and Siena the castle S. Andrea a Cellole is within easy access of all the most important tourist sites, yet immersed in the quiet of the countryside where the birds sing and in the hot summer evenings the fireflies glow. Far from major roads and motorways the only sound you will hear is the odd tractor ploughing the vines.
What better way to spend a relaxing holiday in our mature garden , taking a dip in the large (12X6 m) pool and sunbathing on wooden sun loungers with mattresses, lunching under the shady pergolas or just sipping a glass of wine, or perhaps reading a book under a shady tree.
With both Florence and Siena little over half an hour away by car what could be easier than sightseeing the wonderful art treasures that Tuscany has to offer, returning in the latter part of the day to enjoy a quick dip before dinner in the garden or a foray out to one of the many typical restaurants in the area… of which still very good value.
Cottage Murlo is a spacious two bedroom cottage for up to four people. Entering on the ground floor through glass doors from the garden is the spacious fully fitted kitchen /dining /sitting room.

Most beautiful and quiet setting. Awesome host. I would have given 5 stars across the board but the property is fairly remote down a rough gravel road, but definitely worth the drive for the location and host.

The property was fantastic! The view and accommodations were great, and the host was quite possibly the best host we’ve ever had. He was flexible, accommodating and outstanding to work with in every way. Only thing I was slightly concerned about ahead of time was the spiral staircase to the 2nd floor of our unit, but my soon to be 72 year old mother-in-law was able to negotiate it fine. Will absolutely stay again next trip to Tuscany!

We arrived late at night down a tiny, twisty dirt road after having been lost and exhausted from hours of travel. The castle was certainly impressive in the dark! Marzio was patient and communicative and settled us in even though we were so late. Bird song woke us to an idyllic setting, roses in bloom, views of the landscape and a perfect terrace for coffee. Throughout our stay Marzio was so helpful, checked in on us very day, had tips and helpful suggestions. We suggest doing the BBQ dinner that he offers- very generous portions and fun to visit with other guests! The history of Cellole is part of the charm and experience. My only complaint was a slight musty smell when we arrived- but that disappeared after a few days. Thank you Mario and Elena! I hope to see you (and the new one!) again soon!

Having travelled extensively we can honestly say that our stay in Murlo cottage was one of our very best self-contained experiences ever. Marzio and his wife Elena are the very best hosts. Nothing was too much trouble for them and Marzio had all the information at hand for us or knew how to find it out. The cottage was clean and comfortable with everything we needed for a lovely stay. The staircase was a bit of a challenge at first but soon we were up and down it like mountain goats! The swimming pool was lovely, especially after a hot day sightseeing around Tuscany. The BBQ that we had as an added extra that Marzio and Elena catered was DELICIOUS and it was entertaining mixing with other guests. All in all our stay was perfect. Be prepared for a narrow unmade road for the last section before arrival, but if you drive according to the conditions it is not a problem at all. It is definitely well worth it. We will recommend this accommodation to anyone we hear is travelling to Tuscany.
