Welcome home!
We truly hope you’ll enjoy a relaxing (or even exciting) vacation in the friendly and genuine atmosphere of our recently renovated structure which, for centuries, was an olive mill that produced a renowned olive oil.

Our family has returned to this land after living in London for many years. Didi works as an illustrator for important publishing houses and when you come visit us, you’ll be able to admire some of her works.

We live next door to the villas and will be glad to meet you and welcome you.

The Olive Press Lodge, as its name suggests, is a renovated farm house where olive oil used to be made. The villa is situated on a gentle hill, about a 15-minute walk from the sea and the town centre. It is ideal for a relaxing holiday and offers a great opportunity to discover the Italian Riviera. Its surroundings are a typical Ligurian garden with olive and fruit trees. It offers the shared use of an outdoor pool barbecue area and boules. On the ground floor are the open-plan kitchen and living room with TV, stereo, DVD and internet connection. Its modern interior maintains the characteristics that once used to belong to the old country olive press. On this floor there is also a utility room with washing machine and ironing facility and a bathroom with shower. The kitchen includes dishwasher, smeg oven and hobs, electric grill, kettle, coffee maker, fridge, freezer and blender. On the upper floor there are 3 double bedrooms (one with two beds) and two spacious bathrooms (one with bath and one with shower). The pool and the barbecue areas are easily accessible via a terrace from this level . The Olive Press Lodge also offers air conditioning and private parking. You can enjoy a complementary bottle of our home-produced olive oil.

The area offers many areas for walking and hiking. The beautiful coastline provides many opportunities for horse- riding, cycling, and on-foot excursions. The Alta Via dei Monti Liguri stretches along 400km of mountains crossing a landscape typically characterized by lush vegetation and rugged cliffs.

The sea is another great resource of this region, rich in marine life which includes tortoises and dolphins and wales. These can be spotted in the sea mammal sanctuary established to protect this maritime area.
From this location you can easily reache the wonderful Cinque Terre
The Tigullio bay, enclosed by the nature reserve of the mount of Portofino and the peninsula of Sestri Levante, offers splendid views of the Mediterranean.
