Valdichiana Vista Villa

Macciangrosso is an ancient sixteenth-century residence built by Carlo Lo-dovico de' Piccolomini. The skilful restoration of the structure has preserved the charm and appeal of a past rich in memories. Located on the natural bastion that closes the Valdichiana to the south, Macciangrosso is immersed in the tranquility of a centuries-old park: between severe cypresses and tall cedars a labyrinth of box hedges unra-vels, which together with an enchanted ancient rose garden make up the traditional Italian garden EXPERIENCE A panoramic swimming pool, a tennis court, 10 hectares of land where you can walk, together with areas for reading and meditation, and a room for yoga and physical activity, offer guests an unforgettable experience for the body and for the mind. The residence of Macciangrosso is divided into two areas, "il Casale" and "i Chiesoni". "Il Casale" is on two levels and consists of five comfortable apartments and eight elegantly furnished double rooms, with bed and breakfast service. The Chiesone area, a few dozen metres from Casale, is a beautiful independent structure obtained from a former ancient church and the adjacent rectory; it consists of three comfortable apartments with garden and private parking. All the units, which enjoy a magnificent view of the beautiful surrounding va-lleys, are equipped with private bathrooms, heating, air conditioning and re-served green area in front of the entrance of the single accommodation. ART AND BEAUTY'S CREATION Finally Macciangrosso also wants to be a place dedicated to artistic residences; a place for creation of art and beauty through the spaces that the property intends to make available specifically to all those who would like to stay with us and use their time for artistic and creative activities. YOGA ROOM Macciangrosso offers its customers the free exclusivity of a yoga room and fitness bookable at any time. The room, equipped with the necessary equipment for yoga and stretching, features a cushioned parquet floor specifically for physical activity, dance, and freestyle fitness. WELLNESS Macciangrosso presents itself as a place where the traveller rediscovers the meaning of well-being within themselves. The surrounding nature suggests this contact. THERMAL BATHS The Val di Chiana, the area that hosts the Macciangrosso residence, is surrounded by ancient thermal springs: from Bagno Vignoni to Sarteano, from Rapolano to Bagni San Filippo, where evocative white rocks surrounded by vegetation frame large pools of warm water. Together with the deeper contact with nature, Chianciano has instead thermal structures with large swimming pools and specific treatments for body care as well as offering, thanks to the beneficial properties of its waters, specific care treatments for the liver. Macciangrosso’s customers can take advantage of discounts reserved for them on admission to the Chianciano Spa. TENNIS Tennis Court (synthetic grass) Macciangrosso is located in a strategic position between Tuscany and Umbria. If you stay there, you can easily and quickly reach some of the most evocative and fascinating places in Italy, medieval villages and ancient pilgrimage routes, as well as discover local food and wine traditions. We therefore suggest you visit: THE VAL D’ORCIA Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO “an exceptional example of how the natural landscape was redesigned in the Renaissance period to reflect the ideals of good governance and to create an aesthetically pleasing image; the landscape of the Val d’Orcia was celebrated by the painters of the Sienese School, which flourished during the Renaissance. The images of the Val d’Orcia and in particular the reproductions of its landscapes, depicting people living in harmony with nature, have become icons of the Renaissance and profoundly influenced the way of thinking about the landscape in the following years”.
