Agriturismo Macciangrosso Casale Piccolomini

Hotel Description

You know what hits you first when you pull up to Agriturismo Macciangrosso? It’s not just another farmhouse conversion – this place actually feels like someone’s beloved family estate that they’ve opened up to guests. The Casale Piccolomini sits on this sprawling property in Macciangrosso, and honestly, the setting is pretty spectacular. We’re talking rolling Tuscan hills, olive groves that seem to stretch forever, and that particular golden light that makes you understand why everyone goes crazy for this region.

The drive getting here is… well, it’s properly rural. You’ll wind through narrow roads past actual working farms (not the Instagram version), and GPS might get a bit confused in the final stretch – but that’s part of the charm, I suppose. Once you arrive though, the welcome is genuinely warm. The family running this place clearly takes pride in it, and you can tell they’ve put real thought into the details. The rooms blend traditional Tuscan architecture with modern comfort in a way that doesn’t feel forced or overly designed. Stone walls, wooden beams, proper beds – and thank god, excellent Wi-Fi and air conditioning that actually works during those sweltering July afternoons.

What really sets Macciangrosso apart is how it strikes this perfect balance between authentic agriturismo experience and genuine hospitality. The breakfast features ingredients from their own land – and I mean, you can literally see the olive trees your oil came from through the dining room windows. The pool area is beautifully positioned with views over the valley, and it’s usually peaceful even during peak season since they don’t pack too many guests in. Chiusi itself is just a short drive away, which is convenient because while the property is stunning, you’ll probably want to explore the local restaurants and that incredible Etruscan museum in town. The location also works brilliantly as a base for day trips – Montepulciano is maybe thirty minutes, and you can easily reach Pienza or even Siena without feeling like you’re spending your whole vacation in the car. Parking is never an issue here, obviously, and the staff genuinely seems to enjoy helping guests plan their explorations of the area. It’s the kind of place where you might arrive planning to stay two nights and end up extending your visit because leaving feels premature.

Reviews

• I loved everything about this place, and for once, the photos did not lie – it was just spectacular!! – Nicole from Australia – 5 July 2025 (10/10)

  I loved everything about this place, and for once, the photos did not lie – it was just spectacular!! The rooms were spacious and clean and beautifully furnished. There was a kitchenette where we could prepare dinner if we wanted to. The grounds were huge and just gorgeous, and the pool area was much appreciated on the very hot days of July.
  We enjoyed exploring all of the sitting areas and relaxation spaces, and especially loved eating al fresco together on the stunning terrace (overlooking a beautiful valley and the nearby town) in the evenings. Other areas of Tuscany were a good drivable distance for day trips (then back to the pool!) Clear out your phone memory – you’ll need space for all the photos you’ll take here!
  
  What could be improved: Honestly, my one regret is that we didn’t stay much longer… we could have easily stayed a full week, and three days here would be the absolute minimum I’d suggest. It’s just too nice to leave!

• Very good – Anne from Australia – 23 September 2024 (8/10)

  Beautiful location and surroundings
  
  What could be improved: You need a bar/restaurant on site

• Exceptional – Khalid from Saudi Arabia – 20 August 2024 (10/10)

  A beautiful place in the heart of nature and the Italian countryside. The host is nice and the lady who prepares breakfast is cheerful and helpful. We had a great time in this beautiful place.

• Perfecto! – Maya from Israel – 16 August 2024 (10/10)

  This is a perfect place. Tucked between the hills of Tuscany, perfect location to Val d’orcia and its beautiful little towns, Siena and its surrounding and even Assisi. The place is magnificent, the pool, the tennis court and all the surrounding. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Special thanks to Dorel, the property caretaker, who was available, helpful and so nice. We would definitely recommend the place and dream of the day we will come back.
  
  What could be improved: The only thing that wasn’t perfect was the slow wi fi.

• Comfortable and lovely weather – Donald from United Kingdom – 3 August 2024 (9/10)

  Situation
  
  What could be improved: No bar

• We had the best few days here, dorel checked us in and was incredibly helpful during our stay, our air conditioner didn’ – Lachlan from Australia – 24 July 2024 (9/10)

  Picturesque, large, quiet.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Beautiful and very quiet but not very hospitable – Brown from United States – 24 July 2024 (8/10)

  The property itself is beautiful and the views are great. The pool was lovely to have as they were in a heat wave when we were there and it was nice to be able to come back and cool off in it. Breakfast was an additional charge and was fine. They had several options to choose from.
  
  What could be improved: There wasn't anyone around in the reception area to ask for guides or recommendations or anything else. It would have been nice for there to be a little more interaction and help. Also, you definitely need a car as there isn't anything close by to walk to and no food or wine available on site except for breakfast which you had to say you wanted two days before.

• Beautiful – Sheona from United Kingdom – 10 July 2024 (10/10)

  View and atmosphere was amazing and the staff were so friendly, helpful, and welcoming

• A very peaceful place – Clare from Australia – 23 June 2024 (8/10)

  Great location to explore southern Tuscany with nice towns, facilities, a supermarket and restaurants all a short drive away. The property is very charming and historic in a stunning setting with beautiful views. The gardens are immaculate and very beautiful and the whole setting is very peaceful. It would be a lovely place for a wedding or large family or birthday gathering where you booked out the whole place a brought it to life.
  
  What could be improved: We stayed in a two bedroom apartment with external access. We arrived 10 minutes early and were met by the very nice and kind property caretaker who looks after the building and gardens. He did not speak very much English and we did not speak much Italian, but he was able to show us around and to our apartment. Other than that and a WhatsApp message we had no contact with anyone else and saw no one else until we left a week later. We literally had the whole place to ourselves and it was a bit too quiet for us – almost spooky! Our apartment was adequate and had the essentials and was very clean, but it was too small and cramped for us – thank goodness we had a second bedroom for our luggage as the other rooms were very small. Not really right for us and at the level of space and comfort we wanted. I cannot comment on the rooms in the main house as we did not go in beyond the reception area. There used to be no servicing of the apartments and there is a final cleaning and linen change fee that was not clearly apparent at the time of booking with booking.com and made for an awkward check out.

• Exceptional – Mary from United States – 28 May 2024 (10/10)

  The property is beautiful and well maintained. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed everything about our stay! Wonderful!
