Villa Macario, Tuscany
Astride a turn in the hillside, known as A Capo, lay an olive oil farm with exceptional views and the ruins of two buildings.
Abandoned, overgrown, collapsed.
Until recently...
Since 2002, we have gradually returned some 1000 olive trees to production and authentically restored Villa Macario, one of the two buildings: the result meets all the requirements of today's market.
The ruins of the other building, La Villa Padronale (screened from Villa Macario by olive trees and shrubs), evoke the history of this exceptional site.
We welcome guests all year round, for out-of-summer-season cultural tours as much as for family sumer holidays or plain romantic hedonism. The villa is available on a self-catering basis, through to a full villa hotel service. The villa is registered with the Italian authorities for short-terms lets - CIN IT046017C2DXKKJR22.

Things to do
Villa Macario is 20m below the pool - you can see its terracotta roof. We'll begin the tour with three paintings by our guests, showing their feel of the place...
Finally, we include this to show one of the two spartan, but perfectly comfortable, bunk rooms. Best for short term overflow guests, kids or staff. (The wine store was temporary at the time of this photo and has been removed.)
