A very beautiful villa, immersed in spectacular countryside, with a lovely garden and a great swimming pool area. Very comfortable space, very tastefully decorated. Helpful staff.
Ideal for people who want to be 'away from it all' during their stay (e.g. you have wireless internet connection however mobile phone coverage is patchy at best; there are not many touristic attractions in the surrounding area).
Perhaps to be expected in a very large house in the middle of the countryside, the rooms had their fair share of spider webs and dead flies/insects around: I would recommend asking for extra cleaning if that is not of your liking. I would also recommend understanding prices before using certain services (e.g. use of the washing machine), as they may be higher than what you expect. However, overall this did not detract from the great pleasure of being at La Cenerara. Recommended.

This villa was in an excellent location--just a bus trip into the center of Florence, yet you also felt like you were in the hills. Private setting with very nice gardens and pool. Besides our apartment there were other spaces available for relaxing. We traveled with two college students who wanted to travel to other cities as well, so we were on the road a lot. My husband and I would have liked to spend more time at the villa given the serenity it provided.

What a stunning place to stay!! We booked both Massi 1 & 2 (14 Adults 4 Children) to use as a base for our wedding in Certaldo Alto. Massi sits on top of a hill between San Gimignano and Certaldo, about 3 miles away from both and surrounded by grape and olive fields with beautiful views all around. If you want to experience typical Tuscan countryside then this is the place to come!

Our family of 5 adults loved everything about San Donnino! The owner was truly interested in our comfort and satisfaction. The property was located in one of the prettiest parts of Tuscany, and Siena was only a 20 minute ride away. The pool area was beautiful, and there were several good osteria nearby. We will stay there again.

The highlight of our 2 week trip to Italy was our stay at Casa di Vignola in the delightful village of Pergine Valdarno. It was conveniently located to take day trips all over Tuscany. But it was especially nice to return nightly to this delightful village where all of the neighbors were friendly and the shopkeepers friendly.
We spent a lot of time on the "front porch" soaking up the village life.
There is an excellent restaurant and shops within a few blocks.
The villa was perfect. It was exciting to stay in a structure that is so old yet so comfortable. There were seven in our group and we had plenty of room.
Our hosts, Martina and Francesca, were very helpful, and our evening in their home for our cooking lesson and dinner with their family was truly delightful.
We hope to return again some day and stay here again.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much at La Miccia. It was spacious and relaxing, and very convenient to many towns in Tuscany and the Chianti region. The village of Pergine was a beautiful, restful reprieve from Rome and having two full bathrooms was a luxury. Marina and Francesco were very helpful and gracious and the cooking lesson in their home was one of the highlights of our trip. If we are fortunate to return to Tuscany we will likely stay in one of their properties again.

This apartment is conveniently located for exploring Pisa and Tuscany. It is just a short distance to the Piazza del Miracoli and a number of good value restaurants. There are 2 supermarkets within walking distance and a convenient cheap bus service can get you to the Railway station in 10 minutes. We were greeted by the owner who is delightful and provided us with 2 bottles of his own, very drinkable wine and a bottle of his own olive oil, giving a very nive startto our holiday. It provides comfortable accommodation in which you can feel you can immerse yourself in the Italian way of life. Overall a very enjoyable experience.
