I don't know where to start with the review. So many wonderful things to say about Casa Di Vignolo! First and foremost is the wonderful hosts Francesco and Marina. Francesco met us on arrival and showed us around the beautiful villa and the town of Pergine Valdarno. Everything you would expect of a Tuscan country town! The villa was a great central location for exploring Florence, Sienna and the wine country. Sienna is a must! You will need to rent cars for day trips, but the driving is generally pretty easy.
The highlight of our stay was the cooking class with Marina. What a perfect day! A few of us helped in the kitchen while others chose to laze around the beautiful pool and yard. The meal Marina prepared was the best of our whole vacation, and Marina is one of the loveliest, most gracious, women I have ever met. Her son Julio is a hoot!
We rented both villas, Casa di Vignolo, and La Miccia, and this accommodated 10 of us perfectly. It was a combination of old world charm with full, comfortable amenities. We shared a courtyard with other villas - became friends with our neighbours, and enjoyed playing with all the local cats! The village had everything we required - just a 10 second walk and you have delicious italian espresso first thing in the morning, as well as groceries, bakery, flowershop, bar, and newspaper store. We travelled all through Italy, and the local restaurant in Pergine Valdarno had the best food of all that we had tried (except Marina's of course!) and it was under a minute walk from the villa.
I cannot say enough about this wonderful villa! Staying there was the highlight of our whole vacation! Thank you Francesco and Marina!
One last note, I highly recommend booking through Easyreserve. They answered any questions we had, payment was easy, booking was easy. We had trouble with other accomodations we had booked through Italy, but Easyreserve was a blessing!
