Wonderfull place

wonderful stay. more extensive and more beautiful than on the pictures. very nice owner who likes to think along and also provides interim cleaning. They also take care of the mid-weekly removal of the garbage. Very hospitable. Beautiful surroundings. Only thing that is good to know: there were a lot of mosquitoes in our time. The road to Campo is also very tight at certain points for a large car. We had to fold the mirrors. But we get us .to get through, but we got used to it.

Family friendly Tuscany oasis

This is a beautiful property. It is located in a very quiet area, but plenty close by to see - a car is a must. The roads are very narrow but you get used to them. Pool is not heated, but refreshing on hot days. Landscaping is thoughtful and creates a private oasis in the middle of an olive grove. House is cozy with a well appointed kitchen. WiFi is pay as you go (save for a 10 € credit) which would have been nice to know in advance. Great outdoor living space and the views cannot be beat. We stayed with our 2.5 year old and had a very relaxing stay. Day trips to Barga, Vagli de Sotto, and the coast were highlights of the area. Hosts were wonderful.

Wonderful house with outstanding view

We stayed one week in Villa Oliva and experience was fantastic. House is located in the middle of olive trees with oustandibg view over valley. Kitchen was well equipped and it had enough berooms for our needs (four). Pool was great to have because ”coldest” day during our stay was 32. You can easily do a day trip to Lucca, Pisa and Florance from here so location is quite central in case you want to see some great cities of Tuscany. Extra credit for good restaurant recommendations, easy check-in/-out process and great hosts. I would recommend reading guidance how to drive to the house carefully. I trusted navigator and Google obviously does not take into account that road has to be wider than 130 cm to be drivable with car . So read the information you’ll receive before coming to the house to avoid unpleasent surprises.

Traumhaftes Anwesen in den intalienischen Bergen

Die gesamte Anlage und das Anwesen sind mit viel Liebe zum Detail gepflegt. Im Haus selbst hat uns als kleine Reisegruppe an nichts gefehlt. Begrüßt wurden wir sogar mit einem kleinen italienischen Speisekorb und selbstgemachten Olivenöl. So kommt man doch gerne in Italien an. ;) Die Anreise über z.T. Kleine und sehr enge Straßen bzw. Wege ist etwas anspruchsvoll, aber man gewöhnt sich auch hier schnell daran. Das Haus ist für entspannte Pooltage bestens geeignet, der Pool bietet viel Schattenplätze drum herum und beim Tischtennis kann man sich ausreichend auspowern und im Pool danach direkt abkühlen. Abends ein absolutes Muss!….auf der Terrasse den einmaligen Ausblick genießen. Die Eigentümer kümmern sich schnell um alle Anliegen und berücksichtigen voll und ganz die Privatsphäre. Hier als Beispiel die Poolreinigung oder Müllentsorgung, welche vor 8 Uhr morgens bereits erledigt wurde. Ein kleiner Vebesserungspunkt wäre der Insektenschutz im Obergeschoss, hier sollte eine ähnliche Lösung wie im Erdgeschoss angebracht werden. Aber das ist auch mit Insektensteckern zu kompensieren (welche übrigens auch gestellt wurden). Alles in allem würden wir jederzeit wieder in dieser Unterkunft buchen. Vielen Dank für die tollen Tage!

Wonderful holiday

A Perfect Tuscan EscapeWe had a truly memorable stay at this beautiful villa in Tuscany. It was perfectly suited to our family, with spacious and well-appointed bedrooms and bathrooms that made for a very comfortable base. The outdoor spaces were particularly impressive—plenty of room to relax, read, or simply enjoy the peace, with several little sun traps, offering a new favorite spot every few hours.The pool was clean, well-maintained, and ideal for cooling off after the various activities we discovered through Friends of Tuscany including mountain biking, wine tasting, trips to various towns and villages and a wonderful lady who came to the villa to teach us to make ravioli and cook for us. A major positive is the view. Looking out across the valley was like watching a living painting. As the sun moved through the sky, shadows flowed across the tree-covered hills and revealed different details of the villages and buildings tucked into the mountainsides. It was endlessly beautiful, and we often found ourselves just sitting and watching it change.A truly special place to unwind and enjoy the magic of Tuscany.

Great place

We stayed in the house for a few weeks with friends and children and our dog. The property is well maintained, kitchen has everything you need, rooms are clean. There is enough space for two families. The view is beautiful and the pool area is proper. The owners communicate promptly and are responsive to requests. We loved our stay, it was really great experience! Thank you!

Villa Olivi

Wir haben uns in der Villa super wohl gefühlt. Der Pool war sehr sauber und schön. Der Ausblick von der Terrasse war faszinierend. Die Gastgeber war super nett und hilfsbereit. Ein Einkaufskorb mit den ersten Lebensmitteln stand zur Begrüßung bereit. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Schönes Haus mit fantastischem Ausblick

Aufenthalt mit 4 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern, viel Platz im Haus, Küche gut ausgestattet, Möglichkeiten zum Essen drinnen und draußen, prima Grill - alles, was benötigt wird, ist vorhanden. Ansprechpartnerin Vorort ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit, wenn es mal etwas zu klären gibt. Toller Pool mit Liegen und extra Handtüchern und Sonnenschirmen. Highlight ist der Ausblick von der Terasse vor dem Haus - ein Traum! Umgebung mit Barga und Castelnuovo sehr schön, aber eher ruhiger, Lucca in knapp 1h erreichbar, Pisa etwa 15 min weiter. Großer Supermarkt in Gallicano (15 min Fahrzeit) mit allem, was man so braucht in großer Auswahl. Die letzten Meter Anfahrt zum Haus sind sehr steil (15-20%) und die Durchfahrt ist tatsächlich eng. Ein Auto mit einer Breite von 2,08 m (bei ausgeklappten Spiegeln) passt soeben durch, dann muss man aber auch genau "treffen". Fazit: Ein toller Urlaub, wir würden wiederkommen.

Tolle Aussicht und alles was es braucht

Wir waren mit zwei Familien in der Villa Olivi. Die Anfahrt ist wirklich nichts für sehr große Autos, aber dafür wird man mit einem herrlichen Blick belohnt. Die Gastgeber sind sehr nett und im Haus fehlt es wirklich an nichts! Bei unserem Aufenthalt war es noch recht kalt und vielleicht waren wir in diesem Jahr die ersten Gäste. Deshalb hat es ziemlich lang gedauert, bis es im Haus annehmbar warm war und der Wintermuff verflogen war. Aber der Kamin und Pelletofen haben dabei sehr gut geholfen!

Toller Ausblick, tolle Gastfreundschaft

Wir (vier Erwachsene und vier Kinder (4 - 8 Jahre)) haben einen sehr entspannten Urlaub im Haus verbracht. Es ist gemütlich im toskanischen Stil eingerichtet. Die Küche ist vollumfänglich ausgestattet. Die Bilder sowie die bereits abgegebenen Bewertungen / Beschreibungen sind absolut zutreffend - einzig der Ausblick in Richtung Barga ist noch schöner. Besonders möchten wir die Gastfreundscft der Hausbesitzer hervorheben. Cristina und Mauro haben uns mit Rat und Tat von der Ausflugsplanung bis hin zur Autoreparatur unterstützt. Wirklich wunderbar!
