"We had a small wedding here in the first week of October, and everything about this villa exceeded our expectations! To start, the property and surrounding area is unbelievably beautiful. Barga and Castelnuovo are hidden gems that had great restaurants and sights to visit. The property itself is nestled on the side of the mountain, and has stunning views of the valley. Our favorite was the morning fog that rolls in! The villa itself was perfectly updated, while retaining its Tuscan charm. We were able to comfortably fit family and friends in the individual apartments that allowed for hanging out but privacy also. However the best part of our stay at the villa was interacting with the owner, our wedding coordinator Marie (through Tuscan retreats), and the staff. They immediately treated us like family and were extremely generous! They cooked our wedding reception dinner as well as the pizza night. The food was up there with some of the best meals we’ve ever had, and the service felt like fine dining! They were so understanding and gracious with all of the chaos that comes with a wedding, and for that we’ll be forever grateful.We highly recommend this property to anyone thinking about getting off the beaten path in Tuscany, we certainly can’t wait for our next visit!"

"Staff was very helpful and professional. The apartment was spacious and comfortable."

"It was great!"

"An unforgettable stay at Gelso Bianco! We had a wonderful four-night stay and enjoyed every moment. The atmosphere was relaxing, the service was exceptional, and the food — absolutely superb! We shared unforgettable meals with family and friends at their restaurant, which truly deserves its five-star rating. Everything from the presentation to the flavors was world-class. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, elegance, and authentic hospitality. 🌿💫 Thanks a lot! "

"The room was very clean, great shower. The staff were so accomodating as a solo traveller they made me feel very welcome. "

"A slice of heaven on Earth! Originally we had intended to use this as a home base to visit other areas. Once we arrived and witnessed to beautiful surroundings we only made a couple of trips. We could not have had a better family experience. The owners made it very special leaving a basket of farm fresh goodies that we made the most delightful Potato Leek soup. The downside, we had to leave to go home!! :( Just delightful!!!!! "

"When I dreamt of visiting Tuscany, Villa Olivi was what I dreamt of. It was perfect for our friends and us. The views are incredible, and the house was very comfortable and accommodating. As withers have expressed, there is one tight squeeze going up the hill in a car, but otherwise the whole experience was magical."

"Great taste of Italy and experience. Enjoyed our time at the house. The village was very friendly. "

"The home was charming, clean and host was wonderful! The views were amazing! The drive to get there was intense. If you’re uncomfortable with narrow, winding roads, this property is not recommended. We would have loved this property as an authentic Tuscan experience. If you want to immerse yourself in the everyday country culture this is the place! Unfortunately, due to multiple airline delays we were 3 days behind in travel plans so decided it made more sense for us to avoid the 1.5 hour drive return from a Florence day trip so left a day early. This was no fault of host or property, just unfortunate logistics. "
