Tuscany Holiday Rentals Guest Reviews

We stayed a week at La Miccia, Casa Di Vignolo's little sister. Pergine has an "off the map" feel. On a hillside in a town where a scan reveals no wireless networks in range!

Waking up in the morning and walking out the door to look out over olive orchards was incredible. The owners are very nice and speak excellent English. The restaurant down the road, Cantine, was incredible, and the staff so friendly. By the end of the first night, they were at our table swapping stories with us.

This is not at all the pandering tourist experience that much of Tuscany has become. This is the real deal, where people welcome you as their guests and treat you with friendly kindness.

The property itself was lovely, with walls all in stone. We spent many wonderful evenings over wine, cheese, and pasta in the kitchen. Premises clean and comfortable.

Only small drawback was a musty cabbage smell in the kitchen that we couldn't isolate. This can be common in Europe, though, so no big deal.

Also it was strange having a hot tub in the living room, but again no big deal. We didn't use the hot tub, as it doesn't work very well. Removing it would be a plus for this property, in my opinion.

We will certainly be back to this lovely place.

Casa di Vignolo is our Italian home. This was our fourth visit (for three weeks). We have come to love the village of Pergine, the beautiful countryside, awakening to the church bells...and the pigeons!! Most important Marina and Francesco Gren have become family to us and we love their company, and Marina's cooking. Altogether, a paradise to return to again and again.

Staying at Il Calcinaio was a definite highlight of our trip to Italy. Our family of five, with three young children, was very comfortable here and the location was perfect for exploring Tuscany. The house has been remodeled to a very high standard and the yard, view, olive trees, church, and town of Cortona made for a perfect setting. Many thanks--

The location was perfect for exploring Tuscany. The appartament was even better than as described. The kitchen was large and well equipped. For the pool it was too late in season but looked good freshly seeded. There are 2 good rooms and outdoor a great picnic table to dine outside. The owner was very helpful and friendly.

The property was impeccable and was located exactly as described in the listing. Everything of interest in Florence was within walking distance. The owner was gracious and punctual and a pleasure to deal with.

Palazzo a Greve is a Tuscan dream! Situated in a vineyard, with beautiful amenities, offering serenity (no road noise) and a sense of security. It was a little hard to find initially, but was easy to access and is in easy reach of day-trip destinations. Pienza is one of my favorites. We were there in October and watched as the trees and vines turned yellow and then red. Wish I was a painter.

This property is beautiful, quiet and very comfortable for a
group. It is very evident that the owner takes great pride in maintaining the villa. It was immaculate and in perfect working order. The location in Tuscany allowed us short driving time to many small walled villages. Thank You, Rosado!

The property and villa was just as lovely as the pictures. We enjoyed the restfullness of the patio and pool and the convenient driving to tour the nearby historic towns.

Our stay at the Villa Fabbroni was wonderfully satisfying. The setting is gorgeous, the accommodations comfortable, and the hosts (Stefano and Sergio) aboslutely charming. Plus, the gourmet Italian food they prepare and serve in the wine cellar restaurant is outstanding: the best!
