Property Description

LA MICCIA is a beautiful centuries' old apartment that will enchant you with its local traditional features: the stone walls all over the place, the original ceilings in red bricks, original pavements in "cotto" toscano,... you will be captured by the fusion of antique and modern style, like the hot tub in the living room!!!
You will also fall in love with the atmosphere of this small Tuscan village. Non touristic route, Pergine Valdarno, will show you the normal everyday life of the locals going to get an espresso in the morning or buying their fresh bread. everyone will make you feel welcome and if you're lucky enough to spend some days here, you will finally feel part of it.

Interior Description

La Miccia is the perfect nest for couples, a romantic getaway in the suite of a medieval hilltop town.
Entirely private apartment, with independent entrance, this large space used to be the barns and stables of the house above, Casa di Vignolo (the vineyard's workers) and located in the main piazza of this little town.
The entrance opens up to a dining area and a well equipped kitchen, following to the next room a door to the main bathroom of the unit with shower.
You will certainly notice the large main room, arched ceiling, hosting the living room: a hot tub is located right in front of the fireplace on one side, and to the back a sofa with a large screen streaming TV standing up on the barn.
From the living room, after only two steps, there is a very romantic and cozy bedroom with a double poster bed and bright window. A very basic room with night tables, a clothes hanger and an en suite bathroom with shower (laundry room attached to the bathroom).
The bedroom has a bathroom ensuite with shower and, a laundry room.

Very quiet and calm place, with very welcoming people, stunning views and typical products: olive oil is highly produced here and very famous for its production. Excellence also in wine and cheese.
A very authentic and quiet place in Tuscany, ideal to rest and yet very central to move around the main visiting sites of the region: Firenze, Siena, Arezzo and all their lands!

Guest Reviews for La Miccia

very nice place and locatioon and wonderful hostess.

Es war fantastisch
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] It was terrific.

Irene was fantastic, she loves the region and her passion shows. Beautiful villa in lovely town, very welcoming!! Thanks to pergine valderno for the wonderful memories!! Mick & Genene

This is a beautiful apartment. It is partly underground and quite rustic...it is a typical Tuscan home in a small village in the town square within 1 minute walk to the baker, butcher, grocer, coffee shop & restaurant.
The property owner's caring attitude and concern for the enjoyment of our holiday made a significant difference in out stay.

Superb property and hosts are adorable

Beautyful appartment, furnitured in style. But most of all: the owners of the appartement are wonderful, friendly and involved people.

-

This was just an amazing place to stay!!!
Fantastic village atmosphere.
Fantastic cafe 20 steps away....
Amazing family to look after you...
And the most amazing cooking class!!!!

This was just the best stay!!!!!

A piece of heaven...it was a beautiful holiday

The accommodation was excellent and suited our purposes well. Even taking the age of the property into account the apartment was very clean. As we were there in March it could be cool but the heating was efficient and it warmed quickly. The welcome and tour of the village was great and the location of the apartment makes you feel of the village very quickly. We recommend the "Solo Bar" next to the church for coffee ( they will do takeaway). We would happily stay again.

We loved La Miccia. It's located in a quaint hilltop village where you have a baker, a butcher, a dry goods shop, a small grocer, two bars, and a restaurant. The place itself is spacious for a couple - especially with its two two bathrooms. The owners are wonderful and warm people who make sure to spend the time it takes to get you acquainted with the area. The location is ideal for exploration of the Tuscany region. Couldn't be more charming. Two thumbs way up.

Lovely town.

A great location in the Roman fundaments of a tower. No airco was neede although it was 30+ degrees outside. A spacious place with two bathrooms and a jacuzzi in one of the bedrooms. A friendly small town. The owners are not living nearby but the whole process went very smooth. Can recommend.

Very good value for the price. Special apartment, 1m wide stone walls, cannot get hot even during summer. Spacious, 2 bathrooms. The jacuzzi is cleaned after each rent, and kept hygenic.
Keep in mind that it's partly sous-terrain! When there's no Sun, it's darkish.
Only 2 stoves in the kitchen, so no big cooking.
You'll find basic ingredients in the kitchen, left by previous renters.
Small shops, cafeteria, restaurant and pharmacy are within 2 minutes walking distance.
Neighbours can be noisy in the evenings - get used to the italian lifestyle! :-)

The villa we stayed in is very beautiful and fully equiped. The owners are very nice and help full and we would definately visit again. It was the most amasing time we had and really enjoyed. looking forward to the next trip.

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.

We hebben erg genoten in La Miccia, eerst toen we binnenkwamen, leek het erg donker. Dit komt omdat het iets onder straatniveau ligt. Algauw bleek dit een enorm voordeel. Het bleef heerlijk koel. We hebben genoten van de gastvrijheid van Marina, Francesco, Julio en Irene. We konden daar altijd terecht voor vragen, het zwembad en de fantastische kookles. Ik zou het zeker aanraden. Het enige nadeel is dat er weinig eigen "buiten" bij is. Je zit op het terrasje op het plein, waar we iedereen na een week wel kenden en elkaar groeten. Maar als je het dorp uitloopt zijn er genoeg plekjes waar je kunt zitten. Het is wel een aanrader om een auto te huren, wij hebben dit via deze site gedaan, goedkoop en zonder problemen.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We really enjoyed La Miccia, when we first arrived, it seemed very dark. This is because it is slightly below street level. Soon we found out that this was actually an advantage because inside it stays very cool. We enjoyed the hospitality of Marina, Francesco, Julio and Irene. We could always go to them with our questions, to use the pool and have the fantastic cooking lesson. I would definitely recommend the property. The only downside is that there is only a small outdoor area. You sit on the terrace on the square, where after one week we got to know everyone and everbody says hello. But just outside the village there are plenty of places where you can sit. It is highly recommended to rent a car, we have done this through this site, cheaply and easily.

Our visit to La Miccia was wonderful. We will never forget our visit. Owner was helpful. La Miccia was large ,clean and more than we exspected. Thank you Again !




La Miccia is a charming villa. We enjoyed our stay there. We had rented both Vignolo and La Miccia due to the number of people in our group. We were disappointed that La Miccia realy only has the capacity for one bedroom (or bed). This altered our plans slightly
Both are charming and in a great little town. We would stay there again! The owners were very nice.

De feedback die gepubliceerd stond op de website was niet overdreven. Villa Miccia is een ruime aangename woning met een jacuzzi die ook nog werkt ook en altijd warm gehouden wordt. Er waren geen onvoorziene extra kosten en zelfs de kookles was geheel gratis (inclusief de wijn). De eigenaars waren zeer aangenaam in omgang en het was leuk om kennis met hen te maken in hun "eigen omgeving" namelijk hun eigen woning waar de fantastische kookles gegeven werd door Marina. Het dorpje is klein en daarom ook net aangenaam terwijl alle hoofdnoodzakelijke winkels aanwezig zijn. Een auto huren is aangewezen indien je van plan bent om buiten het dorp de rest van Toscane te verkennen (een Fiat 500 was perfect voor de kleine bochtige bergwegen).

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] The feedback published on the website was not exaggerated. Miccia is a spacious house with a nice jacuzzi that also works well and is always kept warm. There were no unexpected extra costs and even the cooking class was completely free (including wine). The owners were very pleasant to deal with, and it was nice to meet with them in their "home environment" because of their own home with the wonderful cooking class taught by Marina. The village is small and therefore very enjoyable but all the necessary shops are there. Hiring a car is recommended if you plan to go outside the village to explore the rest of Tuscany (a Fiat 500 was perfect for the small winding mountain roads).

Het huis is geweldig. genoten van de yaccuzi, eerste week was het soms 40 graden dan is het heerlijk om even te dompelen. De ligging van het huis op het plein is fantastisch, de omgeving, (florence, Sienna, Arezzo en alle prachtige kleine dorpjes) zijn goed bereikbaar met de auto.
Het koken en eten met Marina, Julio en Irene was echt een belevenis, zo gastvrij en warm en natuurlijk leerzaam en lekker.
Wat ons betreft een aanrader.
Groet Juul

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] The house is great. Enjoyed the Jacuzzi, the first week it was 40 degrees and at times it's nice to take a dip. The location of the house on the square is fantastic, the environment, (Florence, Siena, Arezzo, and all the wonderful small villages) are easily reached by car.
Cooking and eating with Marina, Julio and Irene was really an experience, so hospitable and warm and of course interesting and delicious.
In our opinion a must.
Regards Juul

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.

The hosts were wonderful, the property clean, and the town charming. Loved that the bakery, butcher, produce market, grocer and restaurant were within a block - and that the experience was very truly local. We were the ONLY non-locals in the restaurant both nights we ate there.

We scored a cooking class with Marina and another couple staying with them. We had a BLAST cooking in her kitchen and dining with their family. Make this part of your stay if you can.

La Miccia is a lower level apartment so delightfully cool, but a bit dark. The hot tub is not "hot" by most american standards, and seems a little odd in the middle of the living room, but everything else was great. If we ever get back to Pergine Valdarno, we'll be back at La Miccia.

We had a wonderful week in La Miccia, beautifully renovated historic building on the square. We strolled in the morning for our coffee, pastry and newspaper. Very easy access to a number of locations in Chianti and the rest of the Tuscan region.
Our evening of cooking and eating with Marina and Francesco was a highlight, with wonderful Tuscan hospitality to remember for years.

The owners are very welcoming and helpful. Handy to supplies and sights, but must have a car. There is a good variety of sightseeing available from this location.

We spent our honeymoon here, beautiful views and the owners are very warm and friendly. Especially liked the cooking lesson! Ebele and Afam London, UK.

We enjoyed our stay at la Miccia very much. It was even better than what we expected from the photo’s from the website, and they where already very promissing.
The village is very authentic Italian and is truely pittoresque . The people of the town are very friendly and the “piaza” is perfect to sit outside if you want. After a few days its already felt like home!

The appartement itself is very clean and has a nice atmosphere. We enjoyed relaxing in the jacuzzi. The spaces are nice and large. You have all the space you need and the bathrooms are modern and have very good showers!

Parking is possible at 1 minute walking from the appartement.

To eat around the neighbourhood, we recommend La Cantina, just 1 minute away from the appartement.

Also the owners, Francesco and Marina where really great and warm people. They only want the best for their renters and are very concerned about the quality of your stay. (which was perfect! ☺)

The cooking lesson at Il Doccio was also a great experience. Coocking and eating with the whole family and some other guests was like we had been there and known them already for years.

So, we can only say that we would require this stay to anyone who is looking for a relaxing stay in Italy, to enjoy the Toscany way of living and visit all the beautiful places around the village of Pergine Valdarno!

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.

Quaint, comfortable stay in an authentic village. Alex S - New York.

La Miccia was a lovely "home" for our 5 days in Tuscany. Located in quaint, little Pergine Valdarno, it was a good, convenient "home-base" for seeing the area. Clean, spacious and "very Tuscan" our villa was a great choice. (THE only negative was the hot tub...lukewarm and noisy.) Marina and Francesco were warm, gracious hosts, as well. Highly recommend it!

Our stay at La Miccia was excellent. The accomodations were great, including the hot tub! We really enjoyed being right in the center of life in an Italian village. Hearing the church bell ringing and people chatting in Italian made us realize we were really in Italy. The views from the village are incredible. We highly recommend a visit to the neighboring village of Civitella. We almost came without a car but we were very glad we chose to rent one. You cannot really see this part of Italy without one.

The week that my wife and I stayed in Pergine Valdarno was the most enjoyable time we spent in Italy. Casa di Vignolo is the perfect escape from the busy Italian cities, whilst still providing easy access to the major attractions in Tuscany. The town and surrounding area is absolutely beautiful, with an endless array of sites and activities to see and do. Francesco, Marina and their family were excellent hosts, and Marina prepared a superb feast the night my wife and I joined them for dinner.

I recommend this property to anyone who wishes to experience Italy in its true form, and hope we will have the opportunity to stay again and see what we missed the first time round.

This truly was a new and enjoyable vacation experience for us living in a peaceful Tuscan village. Stores, great restaurant, post office, bank, bakery and butcher shop are all just steps away from the villa. Being located in central Tuscany made visiting important sites very convenient. Mike R. -Lancaster, PA

We had nothing short of a great time for the week that we were there. The villa, the owners, the village, the people in the village, the ease and closeness to plenty to see and do without being too "touristic", the food, the wine, the scenery - it was excellent. Brush up on your Italian a bit, and meet the locals. Not a place if you want to be entertained or on the tourist trail, but excellent if you want to experience a bit of Tuscany as the Tuscans do.
