The “Arcobaleno della Torretta” farmhouse is located in a scenic position 450 meters above sea level it is formed by a building from the first decades of the XX century which was used, on the ground floor, as a stable and storage place for the products produced. The first floor was a modest apartment. Recent restoration works allowed the construction of 7 independent apartments for a total of 25 beds. Light blue, green, pink, orange, indigo and red are the names of the apartments which have independent heating, and a living room with a kitchen. They all face a common garden. Restoration works was done by paying maximum attention to details and by matching the materials used with the existing features and by valorizing the characteristic elements of rural houses.
Even though the farmhouse is right outside Macciano village, its peculiar location allows the guests to enjoy the surrounding nature and the tranquility of the area. The farmhouse extends over 14 hectares, mostly lawn, but also cultivated land with cereals and olive trees. The area around the building is at the disposal of guests. The gardens have a wide variety of trees, while ancient olive trees are dominant. Upon request breakfast can be served.
The farmhouse is equipped with a large parking area and green areas as foreseen by the regulations in force.
