La Torre Antica is a working vineyard and olive farm in an idyllic country setting in Tuscany. The effort to drive down the chlaky bumpy road from the main road is well worth while. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. The pool is of a reasonable size and well maintained. The owner, Andrea, is a charming man with a great sense of humour. What the original information did not do justice to was the evening meal on offer. A full Italian 4-course meal with the owner's excellent wine available and each evening a bonus glass of his vin santo. A different and delicious menu on each of our seven nights. Our only regret was not being able to drive back home with a few cases! Something we'll put right in the future.

Our (four adults) rental at Casa Lina was for four weeks during September 2011. Casa Lina is in the town of Lucignano, which was built in the late 1300’s. The apartment, which overlooks the main entrance into town, has two modern bathrooms and kitchen, very confortable beds, numerous bedroom closets, more than adequate lighting in the bedrooms for reading and was extremely clean. The swimming pool located over a mile out of town was large, well maintained and a welcome treat during a heat spell. The owners, Luigi and Andolina were helpful and gracious.

Our favorite two restaurants in town were Nice People and Lo Schicchero. Andrea Baccheschi from Tuscany Wines (http://www.tuscanywines.it/), who escorted us on wine tours during previous stays, provided an excellent selection of wines.

We stayed at La Miccia for 14 nights as the base for our Tuscan holiday. It was almost perfect in every way. Stylishly renovated, with a real eye to the history of the property, La Miccia is a delightfully peaceful retreat from the tourist scene of so much of Tuscany. After a hard day driving Tuscany and visiting one of its many stunning attractions, we sat in the ancient piazza outside our equally ancient apartment and sipped our apperetivi as the sun set. The only sound to break the silence being the occasional ringing of the church and the laughter of the village kids as they rampaged through the piazza. Look up the word ‘idyll’ in the dictionary and you’ll find a photo of Pergine Valdarno and La Miccia.
The property would be perfect by removing the incongruous hot tub (and replacing with a suitable chaise lounge perhaps) and by the addition of the property’s own wireless router and Wi-Fi internet environment – not being able to use our laptop to communicate with home was a disappointment (although the charms of Pergine Valdarno soon had us forgetting home and the kids!)
Utterly charming, comfortable and welcoming – it was a wrench to leave La Miccia. We are already planning our return.

Fabulous !!! This property is everything that you can imagine is Tuscany . The location is perfect for day trips to hill towns and larger cities. The owner is terrific and will cater to your every needs. The bedrooms are bright and spacious, and the outdoor kitchen is well equipped for cooking meals which we ate at the outdoor table. I can't think of one negative comment. The pictures on the website are true and the property is exactly as advertised. ENJOY !!

Our stay at Villa Fabbroni was one of the best vacations ever taken! The apartments are spacious and comfortable. The restaurant is run by one of Tuscany's best chefs (Sergio) and the food is made with love, from fresh local ingredients. The grounds are very nice with plenty of solitude. Hiking trails abound. The hosts, Stefano and Sergio are some of the nicest and most accommodating innkeepers we've ever encountered. We highly recommend the Tuscan cooking class with Sergio and Stefano; it is not to be missed!

We highly recommend Villa Di Montelopio it is a wondefully maintained villa that dates back as far as the 12th century. Each day a new treasure unfolds as you learn more about the villa. The staff Maria, Sig. Dubi and Maria Palo are fantastic. They are on site to help with all of your needs. Maria's cooking is fantastic and provides an authentic taste experience in Tuscan cooking.Set on beautiful grounds the villa staff has a large garden, presses their own olive oil and makes their own wine. Montelopio is a quaint small village convenient to most Tuscan towns.The accomadations are outstanding and the staff alone provide a huge plus. Five out of five stars!!! We will be back.

Our group rated this property excellent in all categories. The owners were delightful people who tend their property beautifully, including the garden and the pool and they supervise the housecleaning with very good local workers. It was a real pleasure to be in such a beautiful house in that lovely natural setting with a well tended garden and pool. The nearby town of Monterchi had a restaurant and wine cantina and pottery store in the main plaza which was of especial interest to us with very kind, generous owners who cooked very well.
