We stayed in a party of ten, including two children. Villa Loredana is a gorgeous villa set up on the hills looking towards Volterra. Everything is very clean and well appointed. Everywhere you look, from the soft furnishings to the cutlery, is of a very high standard. The kitchen in the main house is very well equipped, if slightly on the small side for a group of eight sleeping there. The bedrooms are spacious, tastefully furnished and look out across the valley. There is a lovely terrace area for outdoor dining and two pools - the smaller one is perfect for young children and the bigger one (though cold at first!) looks very inviting in the sunshine. Plenty of sunbeds. A little walk in the garden takes you round a pond alive with frogs and with beautiful waterlilies. This property also has the bonus of a charming annex with two more bedrooms and its own little terrace. Again, tastefully done with lots of rustic charm. The small village of Iano is a 15 minute walk away - there is an alimentari and a pizzeria there. Even closer is a restaurant called Nonna Bianca which is very good indeed. Pisa airport is just over an hour away, Volterra and San Gimangano about 25 mins drive away. The hosts, Nicola and Allcia and the groundsman Roberto were responsive and friendly eg we were allowed a slightly later check out and a small glitch with the air-con was quickly resolved. We loved our time at Villa Loredana and would stay again in a heartbeat.
