FAQ
Set in a wonderful location nestling in the Tuscan hillside, surrounded by olive groves and wonderful views. Villa Oliveta is only 4km from Gaiole in Chianti and ideally situated for day trips to Florence, Pisa, Bologna and Rome. Oliveta is attached to a neighbouring property and part of a traditional Italian cluster of dwellings, however the pool and gardens are private to you.
The pool is situated at the rear of the property surrounded by olive trees, Mediterranean shrubs and hedging. The pool has a paved surround where there are plenty of tables, umbrellas and sun loungers to relax in. From poolside you have a fantastic view of the rolling wooded hillsides all around.
At the front of the house there is a small private garden with a wide footpath leading to a small flight of stone steps up to the front door.
The front door opens into a large hallway from which all the ground floor rooms lead off. Immediately on the left is the ground floor bedroom which has a double bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers and views over the front garden. The ensuite bathroom with shower is in the far right hand corner.
Directly ahead as you enter the house is the lounge/kitchen/diner which has an open fireplace, comfortable sofa and a wooden dining table with six chairs. Along one wall are fitted units with a built in oven with gas hobs, fridge, washing machine, microwave oven and a TV with some satellite channels.
A set of double doors open onto the rear garden area. In the far left hand corner of the kitchen a flight of stairs take you up to the first floor.
The first floor landing area has doors to both the remaining two bedrooms, and a bathroom with shower, basin and WC. The first bedroom has two large windows which allow light to flood the room. This room has matching twin beds which can be pushed together to make a double bed if required. There is also a day bed which can be used as an extra bed or a sofa, as needed and a large wooden wardrobe and chest of drawers.
The second bedroom is the master bedroom which has the traditional Tuscan terracotta tiled floor with tiled and beamed ceiling. There is a wooden double bed with matching wardrobe and chest of drawers. There is also a writing desk and chair as well as an armchair. The ensuite bathroom has a shower, basin and WC.
Outside, split level stairs from the kitchen area take you down into the garden. The garden areas are mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs, with large brightly planted terracotta pots dotted throughout. There is also a barbeque and a covered gazebo with dining table and chairs, which is ideal for dining ‘al fresco’ or sitting with a glass of wine watching the stars.
Set in an ideal location for visiting the sights of Tuscany such as Florence and Siena as well as discovering its smaller towns and villages.
There is also a barbeque and a covered gazebo with dining table and chairs.

Was waren die Highlights Ihres Urlaubs? Ruhe!!
Wie war Ihr Gesamteindruck von der Unterbringung? Gut. Austattung Küche/Geschirr: Bis auf die fehlende Kaffeemaschine war alles - wenn auch begrenzt und teilweise zusammengewürfelt - vorhanden. Da wir eh keine Filterkaffeemaschinen-Freunde sind, half die vorhandenen "Bialetti" weiter.
Gab es unangenehme Überraschungen? Bis auf ein plötzlich aufziehendes Gewitter zum Glück keine bösen Überraschungen.
Haben Sie andere Anmerkungen? Die Küchenausstattung bedarf einer kompletten Überarbeitung.

What were the highlights of your holiday? going into the little towns, seeing the markets, the view from our lawn and pool was astounding,
What was your overall impression of the accommodation? It was pretty accurate with the description and pictures on the website, very thoughtful and kind owners. washing supplies etc... were left for us. We were in the heart of wine country, and they gave us a complimentary bottle as well.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises during your stay with us? It was cool and rainy the first few days (even in June!), the blankets on the beds were dismal, thin sheets and we were cold. We did ask for wood and made many fires in the kitchen in the evenings which warmed the place.

What were the highlights of your holiday? Taking trips to Gaiole for pizza, going to Montevarchi for shopping and catching the train to Florence.
what was your overall impression of the accommodation? The villa was gorgeous and the owners were lovely. The villa had a lovely feel to it. It was perfectly clean and all of the fixtures and fitting were high quality (I couldn't believe the wine glasses were even so beautiful). The scenery around the villa was picture perfect. The owners gave us wonderful recommendations on everything from restaurants to catching the train to florence.
Did you have any unpleasant surprises? The weather was colder than expected in Tuscany (APRIL 2010), and the villas heating really didn't keep us warm. The idea of having to watch the heating bill everyday as gas is extremely expensive was painful....we rationed the heater and ended freezing in the villa. We didn't get to use the wood fire...maybe an electrical heater would be more economical (even if was a fixed priced for the extra electricity). I believe every villa works on the meter for heating, so it's not just this one. I think we'll make sure we come in warmer weather next time as we were eating breakfast with beanies and scarves on.
Do you have any other comments? We loved our time in Tuscany and the villa and it's grounds were beautiful (just a bit cold).

I went on holiday with my family and we range from 60 years to 2 years so finding a villa to suit all our needs was proving to be quite tricky. When I found your website I just felt a sense of relief

I can't be more pleased with the service To-Tuscany provided. Dick Calabro was especially helpful answering all of my pre-trip questions in a most helpful and timely fashion.

I like To Tuscany, partly because it has a tremendous range of villas, and partly because (unlike many companies) it has an excellent website that provides what you really want when choosing a villa.

Our accommodation, which cost less than £800 for the week, is in a converted stone farmhouse next to a 12th Century Franciscan chapel. There is a pergola shaded by vines round the back here we quickly settle into a rhythm of eating long pasta suppers while the shadows lengthen.
