Agriturismo Villa Ulivello in Chianti

Arrived at carollia dream 11 in peyia on 22/6/25. Initial reaction from outside we were pleasantly surprised by the look and size of the villa. Inside was fairly clean and spacious. Excellent proximity to corol bay strip and lovely see views from the upstairs balcony. Issues we had ... POOL was sort of cleaned once during our 10 night stay. What we noticed on out first day at the pool was the dirty water mark around the whole pool which was NOT cleaned when the pool guys turned up. They just filled the pool and threw some stuff in and told us not to use for 45 mins. 🤔 LIGHTS inside the pool do not work DANGEROUS if you have small children around and they wandered, you'd never see them in this pool it was so dark even with the outside lights on. POOL area has broken concrete which has been poorly maintained which could cause a nasty cut to the feet of little ones. Garden area untidy and not maintained. NEEDS screen across wall near carport to privatise pool area. BBQ... WELL WHAT CAN I SAY. .... we decided to stay in one evening and do BBQ and have a drink. The BBQis situated next to car port, NO LIGHTING. Carport light either turned off by owner or not connected this is DANGEROUS and needs sorting. No bedding change during whole 10 days, had to wash sheets myself. No cleaners during 10 days only to drop towels off. Every villa I have stayed in had cleaners and linen changed twice weekly. KITCHEN.. Well it has a cooker and oven, extraction does NOT work. Microwave wasn't working so had to let owner know and the cleaner brought new one. If it is a family staying on a budget then this villa DESPERATELY NEEDS More PANS all that here is a huge stew pan and one fry pan, COME ON NOW OWNERS PLEASE PROVIDE THE BASIC NECESSARY COOKING POTS. Luckily for us as 3 adults we ate out BUT some familys save all year for the villa experience with the aim of dining in then going out due to budget constraints... VILLA OWNER YOU CHARGE ENOUGH SO PLEASE PROVIDE WHATS REQUIRED AND GET THE SMOKE ALARMS SORTED we tested these and they DO NOT WORK. WE stay in villas all the time and do honest reviews for each one so PLEASE sort these issues or you may lose clientel because of these.

We booked to eat dinner for Two Waiter was more interested in practicing his English despite my Husband being fluent in Italian. The decor is reminiscent of an incomplete project. Crushed concrete & weeds to loom is taking Rustic too far. Very limited Menu particularly in the desert menu. However the Ribs & Rabbit was tasty. The waitress was very attentive and professional. The owner hovering about should let the staff do there job.

Bellissimo agriturismo vicino casa alle parte del Chianti dove abbiamo pranzato con amici. Cucina tradizionale toscana con ottimi ingredienti. Taglieri abbondanti e gustosi, perfetti da condividere, pici al cinghiale ben fatti. Personale cortese e non invadente, prezzo adeguato a qualità e location. Ritorneremo sicuramente!
