About this villa rental

Immerged in the beautiful and peaceful Umbrian countryside stay magnificently Le Macee, a stunning farmhouse dated back to the late 17th century.

The house went through two restorations, the first done during the 70s and the second a few years ago by the current owners. The restorations were undertaken taking into account the uniqueness of the building and therefore a conservative architectural approach allowed the preservation of the original atmosphere of ancient terracotta floors and beamed ceilings typical of the traditional Umbrian countryside houses.

A sense of warmth and comfort was added by the modern facilities that the house got after those projects of restoration and refurbishment.

It lays on two floors. The ground floor is the “living” space. The first floor is the sleeping area as well as a TV area and family room (and an additional sitting room in front of a huge ancient fireplace).
The first floor features a fully equipped kitchen with all modern facilities, a huge lounge next to with a 10/12 seat dining table and a sitting area with sofas in front of the fireplace. From the lounge there is access to a big terrace boasting a breathtaking panorama overlooking the valley. A fully equipped laundry and a powder room are also on the ground floor.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms (a queen, a double king-size, a twin) each with en-suite bathroom. All the bathrooms have shower and two of them feature bath tub as well.

The house is conveniently located to reach any destination in the central part of Italy, just 15 km from Todi and 30 km from Orvieto, 45 km from Perugia, a couple of hours drive from Florence and Rome (FCO). Other important cities and towns and landmarks like Assisi Siena Deruta Gubbio Spoleto are located within an hour or so from the house.

The neighborourhood offer the possibility to enjoy meals in cozy restaurants or indulge in the best coffee or an Italian aperitivo in the charming bars and traditional coffee shops, about a few minutes drive.

If you fancy long walks those places are reachable in 30 minutes.

Also you can find a cheese farm in Collelungo, where fresh mozzarella, ricotta cheese, pecorino and other specialties are produced on a weekly basis. Visits at the cheese workshop can be organized during the days dedicated to cheese making.

Beautiful character property in a stunning setting. Plenty of space for 10 of us over the 2 buildings.Comfortable beds and a cot was provided for the 11 month-old. Additionally a stairgate was installed on request as the main staircase is quite steep. Unfortunately there were only 4 (shaded) sunloungers but no parasols or other chairs around the pool. The kitchen was well-equipped for all our needs and the private chef provided a delicious and plentiful meal for us all on occasion. There is no informatio provided at the property but once communication was established with Nikita we found answers to most questions. Overall it was a great place to stay and we would happily return

We had a great stay at this house with our group of friends. It’s true that the property is older and not hyper modern in every detail, but for us that added to its character and charm. Everything was spotless when we arrived, and we found the house very clean and well maintained.All the appliances worked perfectly, and the kitchen was surprisingly well stocked with everything we needed for proper cooking — the knives were even sharp (a detail we really appreciated!).The host was proactive and shared helpful recommendations and clear information about the house, which made things very easy for us.One earlier review made us a little hesitant, but our experience was quite different… we felt the place was cared for and had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a modern, glossy villa this might not be the right match, but if you appreciate an AUTHENTIC house with personality, it’s a lovely spot for a group stay. Definitely recommend!

Disappointing! We only hired this place based on the pictures on the website and the description. Unfortunately the reality is completely different! When we arrived we found a run down and poorly maintained property. The images on the website is not how the place looks today. It was clearly staged for the photo shoots. Do not be fooled!Gården lights broken, jacuzzi/hot tub not working, no pool lights, no welcome note or book of instruction as to how the property works (which is normal in our experience). The showers were in a terrible state and there was extensive water damage on the bathroom floor in the master ensuite. The outdoor seating cushions are stained. The outdoor pool shower is inaccessible due to overgrowth. The kitchen is poorly equipped for anyone who wants to cooking anything more advanced than pasta..! The BBQ area is run down and untidy...felt more like a camping area. The pool pergola has seen better days...and had recently been repaired with the most basic DIY "skills"... There are 5 sun loungers for a house that is supposed to house 11! The trampoline is unsafe and no longer have a safety net around it. We raised our concerns to the owner at an early stage but was ignored. The local agent did arrange for someone to come and change the numerous light bulbs that had gone, and to show us how to turn on the pool lights (down into a dark, damp and scare basement utility room in the back of the garden - filled with old junk. DONT GO!

This villa is as beautiful as the photos. It is a very charming old farmhouse, and the views of the rolling hills of Umbria are absolutely stunning. The pool is gorgeous, although we could not use it in May as the weather was not hot enough to heat the pool. Although the listing says they have a hot tub, they do not. This was very disappointing as it was something we wanted. If you are looking for an authentic experience in Umbria, this is it. Positives Very charming, lots of space for a big group in the house and outside so many places to sit and enjoy the views. Can sleep several people. If you are looking for a more remote villa, this will meet your expectations. Things to knowThe house is all stone, so it does not retain any heat. We went in the last 2 weeks of May, and we had a to make a fire almost every night. The amenities provided are basic (one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, sugar & salt). They do not promise anything additional, but the location is quite remote and you have to plan to get things in advance or after you arrive. The cleaning of the kitchen was not great, we had to wash everything from the oven, the dishwasher was full. The overall cleaning of the place was below average. Communication with the manager once they created a whatsapp group was great. Prior we almost cancelled our reservation because we did not get responses for days. That being said, all the children items we asked for were provided (high chairs, cribs etc..)

Pros: The location is beautiful and secluded. The countryside is peaceful and picturesque, and the nearby towns are quaint. As mentioned by others, it is definitely remote enough that you will want to have a vehicle for your stay. The grounds are lovely just for relaxing and we loved our days just enjoying time in the sun! We loved Todi, about a 20 min drive, which has a great grocery store, a scenic walk to the top for shopping, and a couple of our favorite restaurants (Ristorante Pizzeria Le Scalette, and Ristorante Pizzeria Cavour le Terrazze).If you have kids with you, there is a little park in Acqualoreto, a quick drive away or about a 20 minute walk.Cons:We can’t speak to a summer stay, but with our 19 day stay starting mid March we were quite chilly in the house, even with 60-70 degree sunny days. The radiators didn’t seem consistent or adequately keep the main house at a comfortable temperature. This may have been an unusual problem for our stay, but we would recommend sweatshirts/sweaters and slippers if you are there for the same time of year. They did bring wood for us to start a fire, but the heat from it was only helpful for the main living room. The internet was unreliable for us and was a problem for my husband’s remote work. When it worked it was fine and if you are just needing it for leisure activity it would be sufficient.
