Our third visit to this area in ten years and a joy to return. Friends had stayed in Ulignano 1 six years ago so we knew the area and more or less what to expect. The house is simply furnished and the beds very comfortable. The family were very welcoming and gave us olive oil, wine and produce from their vegetable patch. The washing machine in the underground garage broke down and it was replaced within 2 days. The pool was spotless and cleaned every night. This house is perfect as a base for touring the area or lazing by the pool. Borgo Della Speranza is a very welcome addition just five mins walk up the hill where they have a restaurant and also do takeaway so saves a trip into Volterra if you want to eat out. Fabulous food and lovely people. There were 3 couples in our party so one couple had to sleep on the open mezzanine area upstairs which is fine if you all know each other well! Weather was really hot 30-38 degrees so welcome additions would be ceiling fans upstairs. Mosquitos were in abundance which we expected but screens on the shower room and toilet would have allowed us some additional welcome air in the evenings. When all going out together, the boys showered at the pool! The biggest issue we experienced was the tiny fridge with only a small top freezer box with a broken door. Trying to keep food (and drinks) cool was an impossibility. A half and half fridge freezer would have been a godsend. Saying all this, we would definitely book again in the future.
