Our stay was absolutely wonderful! Such a wonderful balance of being close to Florence for a day trip while being in a beautiful and peaceful setting to end your day. We even spent full days at the pool and enjoying the home and property. We enjoyed most of our meals outside and took the owners recommendation of a cooking class in Cortona which was fantastic for our entire family. Highly recommend!!

If you are the type that likes quiet, nature, outdoors and beautiful scenery this is the place for you. It has everything needed to spend a great week in the Italian countryside. With access to multiples towns and major attractions in Tuscany. The house has everything needed for a more than comfortable stay. Also the garden is exquisite and there is also a beautiful pool. The owners are very nice and communication with them is easy. You will not regret it.

We had a wonderful stay at Olivewood. The property is beautiful and well maintained. The house was equipped with everything we needed for our stay and Claudia was very responsive and pleasant to work with. We spent most of our time in the outside loggia, cappuccinos in the morning and local wines we picked up in the evenings. The location provided us an opportunity to experience the Tuscan countryside away from the crowds. You can reach Florence and Siena within 1 1/2 hours, but be sure to check out some of the smaller locations close by. We would highly recommend a stay here and hope to return someday.

Spectacular property, beautiful views, incredible hosting - just the perfect holiday!!

The location, the views and the villa itself are all picture perfect! Everything about this villa is so thoughtfully and tastefully put together such that all age groups can enjoy it. Our dog loved the large gardens (and we loved the fact that they were fenced)! And there is much to be said about our host, Claudia, who went out of her way to make sure we had an amazing time. From providing countless tips to personally helping with logistics, we couldn’t have asked for a better host! We’re definitely going back!!

Amazing

Sometimes you come across reviews which say “pictures don’t give justice” - this is exactly the case here. The villa, the view… it’s impossible to capture all this in a photograph. It’s simply breathtaking. We had a great time here. The hosts are wonderful and welcoming, the place is outstanding and it’s also a great base to explore Tuscany. We are looking forward to come back someday in the future.

An absolute Tuscan dream!

The view is like a Tuscan painting and the pool is like a DREAM!!! Claudia keeps the home so beautifully and it is fitting with every modern convenience! Privacy and quiet area located in a tiny Tuscan village. A wonderful town down the hill with AMAZING food and gelato! We found the yard to be priceless with our 3 yo boy. We enjoyed many family dinners and fires in the chimney outside. We will be back!!

Wonderful Tuscan Experience

The property is amazing. The outdoor space is wonderfully maintained and curated. Beautiful flowers, trees, and landscaping along with the outdoor amenities. The pool area is wonderful and the outdoor loggia is a beautiful spacel. We ate most meals in the Loggia. The kitchen has everything you need. My whole family would not think twice about visiting again. The host is wonderful to work with, great communication and very inviting. Thank you for sharing your family property with us!

Amazing property in a peaceful location

My family had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. The home is perfectly situated between Rome and Florence. The owners met us at the home upon our arrival and took the time to show us where everything was located. The house is immaculate and has all the essentials you need for your trip. Claudia was extremely responsive and communicated clearly with us whenever needs arouse. The outdoor area is incredible and our kids loved playing in this huge yard. Dinners outdoors in the loggia are memories that will last a lifetime. You will need a car to get around and explore the wonderful hill towns in Tuscany.

Tuscany at its best!

Perfect house with an outstanding view and ideal for outdoor living. Serene surroundings close to the ancient village of Oliveto. Leave the hustle and bustle of Tuskany‘s main attractions, but be 60 minutes from most of them (Florence, Siena to name a few). Beautiful bathrooms, comfortable beds, a fully equipped kitchen. This is a 100 % recommendation. We will be back in 2025! Compliments to Claudia and her husband for being such great hosts.

Amazing Tuscany Vacation

This Oliveto property was the PERFECT choice for our week long stay in the Tuscany region. The bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and patio were an amazing home-base for us to go exploring in various towns all conveniently just a short drive away. The property is even better in person than the amazing pictures on the listing. And the only thing better was the host! Claudia gave us all the information we needed, was incredibly polite, and went extremely out of her way to assist us when we had airline delays during our flight into Italy. We HIGHLY recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable property with amazing views in Tuscany.

Magical home in classic Tuscan setting

We could not be more pleased with our stay in Oliveto. Away from the bustling cities, yet only a 20 minute drive to Arezzo where you can quickly jump on a fast train to Rome, Florence, etc. The home is equipped with anything you might need - there’s even a drip coffee maker! While we did not require the handicapped accessible features of the home, we admired and appreciated their availability. We took nightly use of the outdoor living space - we will never forget sitting by the fireplace and looking out over the valley towards Monte San Savino! The owners put together a binder (we called it our bible) full of information about the area, including restaurants and groceries - even the history of the village. They truly thought of everything. And exceptionally communicative for all of the “extra questions” we threw their way. We hope to return soon with more of our family to share in the experience of staying at “Olive Wood”.

Absolutely Tuscan Perfection

If you want the perfect place to stay in Tuscany, this is it. First, the hosts are so nice and accommodating it made our vacation all the more special. The home is absolutely beautiful both inside and outside. You many find yourself standing in the yard in a complete daze as you stare at the view. It has to be seen to understand the beauty. Day trips are an ease, and you must visit Arezzo, Siena and Florence just to name a few. Make sure and ask about Giacomo Piccardi and reserve him for a private tour of Florence. His understanding of the city’s architecture made the it come alive. Also, don’t forget to have Mrs. Franco come and cook you an authentic Tuscan meal. It will be a memory you will never forget. I can still taste her bruschetta, the best I have ever had. Everything about our trip was centered on the comfort and beauty of this home. We are already planning another visit where we just sit with a glass of wine and never move.

Tranquility in Tuscany

We thoroughly enjoyed our (almost) 2-week stay at this house, conveniently located in a Tuscany hill town. If you're looking for a place to escape the hustle of the larger Tuscan cities such as Florence or Siena, this is your spot. Day-tripping by train or car will get you to these cities in about an hour. We much preferred to settle into the local area and explore. A morning jaunt to a farmers' market and breakfast on the patio was one of our favorite ways to start the day. We found so many delicious local restaurants that one could compare to fine dining in the US. The patio, beautifully landscaped yard and inviting pool encouraged us to stay put and unwind. The vista looking over the valley was fabulous. Not a lot of noise either since neighbors were few. The house is well-appointed with everything you would need at home. Little details such as extra blankets, fine bathroom toiletries, firewood for the outside fireplace, kitchen spices/coffee and A/C - when you're settling in for a while, these items matter. Good shower pressure, comfortable beds and a washing machine are a plus. The hosts were very responsive after our booking, before we arrived and during our stay. They have definitely created a beautiful home for a perfect Tuscan escape.

This was our second visit since 2024 to the beautiful property. While the overall outstanding experience was the same, the little details made it even better than last time: new pots and pans, sharp kitchen knives, new baking dishes complemented the overall excellent impression of the indoors of the property. The outdoors remained the true star of Olivewood. A serene, beautiful garden with outstanding views over the Chianina Valley. A magnificent pool and the perfect loggia complement the wonderful vacation experience. This time we will not wait two years to be back, but already booked our next visit in 2027. A great compliment to our gracious hosts, who where there for us when needed. A definitive recommendation!!!!

Es war alles genau so wie versprochen! In dem Garten konnte ich mich nicht sattsehen, so schön war alles angelegt. Der Ausblick war phänomenal. Das Haus schön eingerichtet, es war wirklich alles da, was man braucht. An einem Abend haben Eleonora und ihre Mutter aus Oliveto für uns gekocht. War schön! Leider haben in diesem Jahr die Eisheiligen ihren Job zu genau genommen. Deshalb konnten wir den Pool nicht benutzen, das war sehr schade. Ein paar Grade mehr und das Paradies wäre perfekt gewesen.
