Cottage Pino Rural Tuscan retreat in Stunning Hilltop castle

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.

Beautiful, just beautiful!
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!

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?

A wonderfully relaxing stay with brilliant hosts who could not have been more helpful and welcoming.
From the moment we arrived we knew we had chosen a real gem! S. Andrea a Cellole is reached via quite a remote little lane which winds down through olive groves and fields of vines, and about 15 mins drive from the local village where you can buy all the provisions you may need. You arrive at a beautiful ancient and typical Tuscan building which invites you in immediately. Our hosts could not have been more helpful and welcoming, offering advice on places to see and restaurants to visit. The owner's son even invited us to a get together with other guests one evening and cooked for us around the B.B.Q. A delicious supper had been prepared for us which was very enjoyable. This is a place for relaxation and getting away from it all. You are completely immersed in stunning countryside. If you require a lively resort then think again. The web description and photographs were an accurate reflection of the accommodation. A rural treat for those who like a quiet and relaxing holiday. Can't wait to visit again.

Full of character !
Well equipped cottage in a unique former church building. Cottage pino has a Sweet little private terrace for eating al fresco. lovely shared pool area with lots of loungers for sunbathing or shade for relaxation. The shower was a bit temperamental but plenty of hot water once it got going. The drive from the main road was a bit scary in a little hire car the first time we did it and it's not a quick one for getting fresh bread for breakfast as it's takes a good 20 Minutes into Tavernelle. we had a lovely week there. Marzio, Mario & Adela were most helpful at recommending little gems for us to visit like the Badia al Passagnano and the various chiant highlights , villages, restaurants etc. Tuscany is very close to heaven !

Wonderful idyllic castle in the Tuscan countryside, so quiet you could hear a needle drop. Really relaxing in an amazing area of Italy, perfect distance from Florence and Sienna. Couldn't recommend it enough. Will be returning in the future.

Perfekte Betreuung
Das Haus liegt idyllisch hoch oben auf einem Hügel - mit einem freien Blick auf Zypressen, Weingüter und Olivenbäume. Hier ist man wunderbar für sich. Zur ehemaligen Kirche, in der man wohnt, gehören drei vermietete Wohneinheiten. Der Eigentümer wohnt auch vor Ort, aber gut abgeschirmt. Bei hohen Temperaturen ist der große Pool ein echter Hit. Die Appartements sind gut ausgestattet, es gibt auch eine kleine Bibliothek. Toll ist der Support durch den Hausherrn Marcio. Eine Glühbirne ist defekt - wird sofort gewechselt. Ein Schlüssel ist abgebrochen - hier ist ein neuer. Marcios Ausflugstipp sind Gold wert, vor allem passend dazu, wo man am sichersten sein Auto parkt. Und Marcio kennt alle Restaurants in der Umgebung - und reserviert gern einen Tisch. Das ist echt nötig, denn die Restaurants sind oft komplett ausgebucht. Wir haben toll, lecker und sogar preiswert gespeist, das ist in der Nachbarschaft tausend Mal besser als in den großen Orten. Der Hausherr lädt auch gern zu einem BBQ für alle Gäste ein. Das lohnt sich sehr und trägt sehr zur Kommunikation mit den anderen Gästen bei. Und gern kann man vor Ort auch hausgemachtes Olivenöl einkaufen. Mücken hatten wir keine, obwohl davor sehr gewarnt wurde. Dafür unseren Nelson. Der alte Hund der Besitzer kam abends immer zu uns und ist bei uns eingeschlafen. Den ruhigen Gesellen hätten wir gern mitgenommen. Kurzum: ein cooler Urlaubsort, eine perfekte Betreuung und ein toller Startort für Ausflüge nach Pisa, Lucca, Florenz+ Siena

Un séjour mémorable
Ce fut un séjour extraordinaire et inoubliable, un accueil très chaleureux du propriétaire Marzio avec qui il fut très agréable de discuter et d’apprendre de sa région et de sa formidable demeure. Je vous recommande fortement cette adresse si vous voulez passer un bon moment en Toscane et un très bon point central pour visiter plusieurs endroits de cette région. Spero di rivederti presto Marzio! Ciao Joel
