We had a fabulous time in Pergine Valdarno travelling with our teenage daughters. We were travelling without a car but this was not a problem. We were met at the train station in Ponticino by Irene who drove us to the accommodation. From our initial introduction Irene was absolutely delightful. She was very enthusiastic and accommodating. Nothing was a problem. Irene took us on a tour of the local town which has everything - a butcher, pharmacy, bakery, fruit and veg, local supermarket, restaurant. The property was very clean and had a lot of character being over 500 years old. Not having a car was not a problem as Irene offered to escort us to wherever we wanted to visit. We visited Arrezzo, Siena, Cinque Terre and Pisa with Irene driving and accompanying us. To have Irene in our company was a highlight of our travels and her ability to communicate with the locals meant that we had a real Tuscan experience. We ate at places that served authentic Tuscan food and were away from the tourist area. Irene's rate for this service was very reasonable. Another major highlight of our stay was the cooking lesson with Irene and her beautiful Mum Marina. We were made to feel like part of the family and the food was delicious!!! To share a traditional home cooked meal with Irene and her family was a real treat. We would love to come back to Tuscany and would most certainly stay again at one of Irene's properties. Make sure that you visit Carabe Italian Gelato & Granita whilst in Tuscany. Antonio makes the freshest and best Gelato. We thank you Irene for our amazing memories of Tuscany.

A very comfortable and spotlessly clean, well equipped, spacious apartment in a beautiful rural location; very well managed by a friendly staff. An authentic, traditional villa -- a very special place.

We had a lovely stay in Tenuta 4 - the apartment was really well equipped, comfortable and spotlessly clean, and the communal spaces were beautiful. We were well looked after by Salvatore and Anna, and we hope to return soon.

Exceeded our expectations; just off of the Piazza Republica, traditional Tuscan style, roof-top patio, wonderful hosts...so much to say so little space.
Fair warning though, this apartment is not for those used to 5 star hotels, room service, and someone to turn down the sheets at night. This is for people seeking an athentic Tuscan experience.
We loved it and will come back.

The owners were delightful. The meals were amazing. The Villa seemed to ooze history and the apartment we stayed in, Il Padronale, was absolutely perfect for our party of 8. The walks from the Villa were exhilarating and we would love to return for a longer stay next time.

Nous avons adoré! L'accueil très attentionné de Nada, membre de la famille qui possède le domaine depuis 6 générations. L'appartement est très confortable et super beau. Le cadre enchanteur, les fleurs, la superbe piscine à débordement avec vue splendide sur la vallée. Tout est extrêmement propre et bien entretenu. Le village de Montaione qui est a un kilomètre est charmant et pourvu de bonnes épiceries, restos, banques, café. Bien situé aussi pour visiter la région... la magnifique Sienne, Certaldo, les petits villages du Chianti, Volterra. En quelques mots... beauté, confort et authenticité. Vin blanc et rouge du vignoble disponible sur place, pain chaud livré tous les matins... la perfection. Excellent service aussi de Easy Reserve et pas de frais supplémentaires exhorbitant comme on voit parfois dans d'autres agences. Idéal pour couple tranquille en main et juin... peut-être beaucoup d'enfants durant l'été puisque l,endroit est parfait pour les familles.

Brenna is a quiet little village which is a great base for exploring the Sienna region. The villa is wonderful. There is a really nice cafe/restaurant only 20m away which is open from lunch time. We really enjoyed our stay. You do need a car to get around however.

Lovely traditional villa surrounded by it's own olive groves, with great views over Orvietto.
The family home of the current owner for generations, still used by them when it's not rented. Beautifully furnished & equipped.
I'm sure we'll be back.
