Traumhafter Blick auf die Hügel der Toskana. Der Sitzpool ist klasse! Großes Grundstück mit toller Hanglage.

This villa was absolutely idyllic and represented everything we ever wanted from a villa in Tuscan Hills. It is located in a very beautiful place among forest, wine yards and olive groves. The sunset view from outside terrace was simply breath-taking. It was also very quiet and tranquil and you had a filling you are totally away from it all which was so important to escape the world of pandemic and have a relaxing holiday.
The villa is located in a complex with other buildings but in Jul 2020 - it was very quiet. Often we were the only family using a swimming pool which was great - 15m x 7m. you can actually have a proper swim there. Villa L'Oliveta comes with a private plunge pool that we used on several occasions to cool down as it was super hot.
The amenities include everything you need: well equipped kitchen, good size fridge, 2 bedrooms and a comfortable lounge. Bathroom was also great and good shower pressure. For our children Wi-Fi is always a selling point and villa had a good connection.

The location of the villa is just perfect. We walked several times to Lecchi to have breakfast , coffee or do small grocery shop. It is only 1.5km each way in a very picturesque forest. We went to Enoteca Rinaldi - very nice family run place popular with locals and tourists. We also did few day/half-day trips and visited San Gemeniano (about an hour drive) for world-best ice-cream shop, Siena (40mins away) and Castello Brolio for wine testing tour (the oldest Chianti Classico winery and dates back to 1141). After our stay in villa we went to Florence which was also just over an hour away. There are lots of things to do around. Castello di Amo is another nice local winery only 2km walk away.

Eine wunderschöne Lage. Hübsche kleine Städtchen zum Einkaufen und Essen gehen in der Nähe. Die Landschaft ein Traum, die Menschen sehr freundlich. Die Nähe zu Florenz und Siena war super.
Das Häuschen, welches wir gebucht hatten war liebevoll eingerichtet, in der Küche hat es an nichts gefehlt. Es gab mehrere Terrassen eine schöner als die andere. Alles in Allem der Urlaub war traumhaft.
Wir kommen wieder

Wir waren die ersten Urlauber in diesem Jahr, nach Aufhebung der Reisewarnung. Ein herzliches Willkommen, auch wenn wir schon früher vor Ort waren, als ursprünglich geplant. Vielen Dank nochmal Sabina!
Der Ferienhaus L´Oliveta ist ein Kleinod mit einem atemberaubenden Blick über Wein-, Oliven- und bewaldete Hänge. Die mehrstufigen Terrassen bietet vielerlei Möglichkeiten zum Sitzen, Entspannen und Zusammensein. Der private Sitzpool ist eine super Alternative zum Gemeinschaftspool. Aber auch diesen haben wir genutzt, genauso wie den Tennisplatz.ene
Überrascht wurden wir mit einer Flasche hauseigenem Olivenöl und frischen Eiern.
Wir können Ihnen nur empfehlen: kommen Sie in die Toskan! Genießen Sie Land und Leute. Fühlen Sie sich zu Hause im L´Oliveta!
Die Hygienestandards sind sehr gut, alle Bewohner überaus diszipliniert. Man kann sich ungehindert bewegen.

Aufgrund der besonderen Situation mit Namen Corona, waren viele Museen noch geschlossen bzw. ausschließlich stundenweise geöffnet. Da wir bereits das 3. Mal in der Toskana waren, hat uns nichts gefehlt. Siena, Florenz, Pisa, etc. haben wir bereits besucht. San Gimignano ist immer einen Ausflug wert. Neu für uns war das Castello di Brolio mit wunderschönem Garten, Ausblick und Weinverkostung. Gleich gegenüber der Enoteca ist die Agri Bar. Kehren Sie ein und genießen Sie einen Imbiss mit einem Glässchen Brolio. TOP! Regelmäßig zu Gast sind wir jedes Mal in Castellina bei "Il Fondaccio dai Dottori".

We spent a week at L’Oliveta (14-21 September 2019) having stopped over for two nights in Lucca. The accommodation was very good and our time was spent relaxing outside appreciating the marvellous views and catching up on reading. We just like to hang out in pleasant surroundings. The comfort level was fine - not too fussy, But, everything we needed was there. It was a great pleasure to eat outside on comfortable terraces and the plunge pool was an added bonus. The WiFi was fast and reliable. I was able to pick up the cricket on SkyGo with no difficulty. We were very comfortable.

Radda is good for all shopping needs and is situated in a marvellous location. A bit tough to park, but usually OK. An excellent alimentation and Coop for daily needs and a good selection of wine shops. If the day of arrival is Saturday take care to shop before 1300hrs, or after 1600hrs. Two excellent days out to Siena and Arezzo, easily driveable and back late afternoon to pick up a few things and settle in for the evening. Other shorter visits to hilltop villages were well worth the time, especially Pieve Di Panzano.

An absolutely fabulous villa , there really couldn’t be a more beautiful setting.

L’Oliveta exceeded our expectations!
The accommodation itself was very comfortable and practical. Everything we needed was supplied.
The views from our private terraces were absolutely stunning ! The plunge pool was a beautiful place to cool off , read a book and watch the lizards sunning themselves. The covered terrace was great when we had the occasional thunderstorm. We sat there enjoying
the show with a glass of Chianti. Excellent concierge service.
Sublime meal cooked for us by Andrea from Il Fiasco .

Wonderful meal and hospitality at Il Ristorante Malborghetto in Lecchi. Lunch in Radda at La Casa Porciatti . Good wine recommendations there and beautiful deli. Siena very interesting. Park easily at the train station. Beautiful villages to visit include Montefioralle near Greve. Castellina , Gaiole and Radda.

Zeer leuke rustige locatie. Mooi uitzicht. leuk, net zwembad. Dagelijkse broodlevering is zeer handig.
Airco was zeer welkom aangezien het de ganse week 35+ Gr was.
Op woensdag werden de lakens en handdoeken vervangen en de woning deels gepoetst. Zeer aangenaam!

Eerder zakelijke ontvangst bij aankomst!
