About this cottage rental

Situated in a strategic position halfway between Florence and Siena the castle of 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.
A cosy semi detached cottage on two floors ideal for a couple or up to four people. On the ground floor enter into the airy lounge through one of the two sets of glass doors, there is a settee for 3 with a matching armchair and bookshelves , Sat T.V and CD player. Up two steps in to the fully fitted kitchen with hob, oven, extractor fan, fridge/freezer, washing machine and open fireplace. A square table and four chairs make up the eating area in the kitchen. Upstairs two double bedrooms one with twin beds and en-suite shower , the other with a double queen size bed is next door to the bathroom with wash basin with vanity unit, bidet and w.c.. From all the upstairs windows there are spectacular views over the countryside.Outside is a very shady pergola with wooden garden furniture , the BBQ is shared in the main garden near the pool.
Free Wi-Fi. Fan in bed room. No hidden extras only local tourist tax 50cts per person per day to be paid locally.

First of all, Marzio was hands down the best host we have ever stayed with. He was very helpful with recommendations and giving us information of the area. We ate in some outstanding restaurants on Marzio recommendation and he was right on the mark. The house is exactly what we were looking for, a beautiful Tuscan retreat, close to Florence and Siena. The pool was an added bonus that we used every day to cool off. We would really want to stay again. We did happen to stay in July and it was unusually hot. The A/C did have a hard time keeping up with the extreme heat at night so we may choose a Fall or Spring trip next time.

More than we imagined for our Tuscany vacation. Spacious, well appointed and clean. Marzio was an excellent host with knowledge of the area and its history. He gave wonderful suggestions for wines, restaurants and touring excursions. We highly recommend this historical villa for a Tuscany vacation!

The property "Sant' Andrea a Cellole" is located in the middle of Tuscany, just as you would expect it to be. Marzio is a smart guy who is very concerned about the well-being of his guests. He is happy to advise on which excursion or restaurant to visit. The reservation is then made immediately at the desired time. We enjoyed the peace and tranquillity. A refreshing pool invites you to do this when you are not travelling through Tuscany. Two friends for life are also quickly found. They are the two four-legged friends Nelson and Bounty. You just have to like them, they are lovely dogs. All that remains is to say that we look forward to seeing them again and can highly recommend Marzio's place. Don't miss to take home his own olive oil, which is awesome. Thomas and Anna

Wir haben im August 2020 mit unseren beiden Söhnen (15,17) eine Woche Urlaub hier verbracht und haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Die kleine, aber gemütliche Wohnung liegt sehr abgelegen und ruhig und doch recht zentral, so dass sich zahlreiche Highlights der Toskana von hier aus sehr gut besuchen lassen. Dabei ist das Anwesen selbst so schön, dass man es am liebsten gar nicht verlassen würde: Der Blick in alle vier Himmelsrichtungen ist makellos und zu jeder Tageszeit unbeschreiblich schön, so dass man am liebsten gar keine Ausflüge machen möchte. Ein großer Pluspunkt: der Vermieter ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit – seine Tipps und Restaurantreservierungen sind Gold wert. Er spricht hervorragend Englisch, der auf dem Gut lebende Vater des Vermieters sehr gut Deutsch, so dass die Verständigung überhaupt kein Problem darstellt. Besonders geschätzt wurde natürlich der Pool, der sehr großzügig und gepflegt ist und eine tolle Wasserqualität hat. Die beiden Hunde auf dem Anwesen haben uns viel Freude gemacht, sind sehr lieb, bestens erzogen und haben für uns den Urlaub perfekt gemacht. Der Abschied fiel sehr schwer. Vielen Dank, Marzio, für deine Gastfreundschaft!

Lovely cottage in an outstanding setting with amazing views of the Tuscan countryside.
Lovely cottage in an outstanding setting with amazing views of the Tuscan countryside.
We stayed in cottage Murlo which accommodates 4 people. There were 3 of us, my husband, myself and our 18 year old son. We arrived at Cellole after 5 full days of sightseeing in Florence so the peace and tranquillity were much appreciated. The family who own the house, and live in part of it, are really friendly and helpful. They are there if you need them but never imposed on our holiday. Marzio will book restaurant reservations for you if you want which was really useful for us, he'll also give you advice and tips on where to park etc when visiting the surrounding areas. We went in July when it was very hot so the pool was fantastic for cooling down. One of the features that attracted us to Cellole was the fact there could only be a maximum of 10 people there at any one time and no children under 14. The pool was never busy! The cottage itself had everything you needed. The bedrooms are huge. The bathroom is actually in the master bedroom but it didn't cause us any problems because it was to the side and the room was so big. Outside you have a lovely covered seating area with fantastic views over the surrounding countryside. This was my first visit to Italy and I don't think I could have found a nicer, more welcoming place to stay. Total peace and relaxation in beautiful surroundings with a helpful family on hand. What more could you wish for?
