Hidden away at the end of a dirt road in the foot hills of the province of Piacenza lies this absolutely beautiful house, which can only be described as a paradise. It sports a football field, pool, trampoline, grill, outdoor tables and lounges, peach, apple, and fig trees, and blackberries to be picked. The house itself is every much as beautiful as the pictures suggest, with comfortable beds, gr... (more)eat showers, a full kitchen, and ample space for eating and lounging.
There are few weak points, the main 2 being the access road, which should be paved, and the bees (the neighbors make honey) which were a bit of a nuisance around the pool. Other than that, it is hard to find room for improvement.
Even the provinces of Piacenza and Parma were a welcome surprise for us: beautiful towns, delicious food, and truly polite people.
We thoroughly enjoyed Villa Pieve. The location was great for exploring the Southern and Eastern parts of Tuscany. The house does look like the pictures as it is well kept and very spacious. We had a group of 16 including children and we had more than enough space. The house is very quiet and with an air conditioner unit in every bedroom, this was a great benefit in the August heat. The manage... (more)r of the property (Sabrina in our case) was very reliable showing up exactly when requested, cooked some wonderful meals, and made some suggestions and arrangements that were first rate.

Zeer mooie, rustige, zeer afgelegen omgeving. Vakantiewoning helemaal in orde en groot zwembad ter beschikking.
Voor GPS: geef 'localitata Ulignano' in, want Ulignano op zich bestaat ook (maar dit ligt net naast San Gimignano en is wel nog een 15-tal kms van de vakantiewoning!!!). Anders is het bijna niet te vinden, ongeasfalteerde toegangswegen!!
Voor een rustige vakantie, een aanr... (more)ader.
PROS: Family-friendly house with 4 appartments (3 for renters) and a large garden.
CONS: Although very close to the sea, one need a car or 5km walk to reach a nice children-friendly sandy beach.
We very much enjoyed our holiday at La Ripa. It is a nice recently renovated apartment, especially a large bathroom with separate shower and bath. The owners are very nice and helpful e.g. gave advise about places to visit and they let us taste some typical Tuscan products. They grow a lot of vegetables in their garden.
Florence is nearby and easy to visit by train.
We woul... (more)d like to stay in La Ripa again on our next holiday in Tuscany.
