We had a fabulous time in Pergine Valdarno travelling with our teenage daughters. We were travelling without a car but this was not a problem. We were met at the train station in Ponticino by Irene who drove us to the accommodation. From our initial introduction Irene was absolutely delightful. She was very enthusiastic and accommodating. Nothing was a problem. Irene took us on a tour of the local town which has everything - a butcher, pharmacy, bakery, fruit and veg, local supermarket, restaurant. The property was very clean and had a lot of character being over 500 years old. Not having a car was not a problem as Irene offered to escort us to wherever we wanted to visit. We visited Arrezzo, Siena, Cinque Terre and Pisa with Irene driving and accompanying us. To have Irene in our company was a highlight of our travels and her ability to communicate with the locals meant that we had a real Tuscan experience. We ate at places that served authentic Tuscan food and were away from the tourist area. Irene's rate for this service was very reasonable. Another major highlight of our stay was the cooking lesson with Irene and her beautiful Mum Marina. We were made to feel like part of the family and the food was delicious!!! To share a traditional home cooked meal with Irene and her family was a real treat. We would love to come back to Tuscany and would most certainly stay again at one of Irene's properties. Make sure that you visit Carabe Italian Gelato & Granita whilst in Tuscany. Antonio makes the freshest and best Gelato. We thank you Irene for our amazing memories of Tuscany.
