Words cannot come close to describing this place. We stayed at Antico Podere Marciano from the 30th August 2011 to the 4th September 2011. During this time the villa provided us with the most amazing venue for our wedding reception. Maurizio and Federica were fabulous hosts to us, and our family that were there with us. They made us feel... More

This was our umpteenth trip to Marciano and it's not going to be the last. This time we felt that it was probably the best time we'd had there so far. The weather outdid itself and this time we chose to do less running around and more sitting by the pool, reading, chatting and just relaxing, it was superb. Although... More

We stayed in a superior room for 5 nights and 2 nights in a standard room - we were disappointed that the standard room didn't have a small fridge/mini bar. Both rooms were very nicely decorated and the cleanliness in the rooms was excellent. Having read so many reviews saying the breakfasts were really great we didn't find that -... More

Located on top of a hill in middle of forests and wine gardens overlooking the vally - a truley special spot. It is not that easy to find as GPS doesn't show the route, but it is worth looking hard. The owners are very friendly, the entire house is beautiful, the rooms have a charming decor. It is worth spending... More

recommended to me by an Italian colleague, this gorgeous restored farmhouse B&B exceeded our expectations. Excellent service and food, spectacular views and sunsets, nestled off the beaten path in the Tuscan countryside. Even my teenage daughters loved it, with a beautiful infinity pool. Centrally located.

We, too, found this place on TripAdvisor, and it's almost too good of a secret to share! A bit off the beaten track, it was well worth the slight challenge to find. It was extremely serene and peaceful, tucked away in the Tuscan hills. Surrounded by gently rolling vineyards, woods, and a lovely maintained lawn, garden, and patio (as well... More

My husband booked Antico for the "Tuscan leg" of our honeymoon, just from reading the other reviews on tripadvisor. Thank goodness he did! When we pulled up to this beautiful villa, we were blown away by the views first and foremost, then quickly by the peace and quiet of the property. We knew we were in for 4 days of... More

We're back after spending 5 glorious days at Antico Podere Marciano, the perfect hideaway in the heart of Tuscany. There's nothing to criticize. It's perfection....The 7 rooms of the farmhouse are perfectly decorated with attention to details, down to the hand painted drapery. We had the "Giglio room". The room with the panoramic terrace. This was a spacious room with... More

All I can say is that I can still close my eyes and experience pure joy just thinking about the wonderful villa and our gracious hosts, Frederica and Maurizio, at the Antico Podere Marciano. This beautifully appointed Italian Villa has it all. Every room has spectacular views (even from the tranquil and secluded infinity pool) Superb meals and fabulous wine.... More

My wife and I recently spent a week of our honeymoon at Antico Podere Marciano, and we enjoyed our time there tremendously. We had the good fortune of being the only guests there for most of our stay, and it really felt like we were in our own Tuscan villa. It is in a very great location to make day... More
