3 Bedroom House in Oliveto

This is our family vacation home since generations, we refurbished and modernized it 2015 for ourselves and guests who we like to share it with.It´s strongest point is the covered Loggia with a wonderful view with any kind of weather over the valley; the garden and the infinity pool with the panoramic view. We added this year a carport for three cars with photovoltaic panels and an external plug extra for electric cars and now ALL bed rooms have air condition.
I was on wheelchair myself many times for many years and wanted something nice also for persons with different abilities... We wish, more persons who can not find accommodation for themselves or parents or relatives with walking difficulties or steps would discover our lovely suite made for them. On demand I will send a little film for wheelchair users. In 2023 we had a Hurricane and lost 12 trees and the romantic gate and antique wall, we have replanted trees and fruit trees, bushes and made it more sustainable with a photovoltaic carport and a charging station for electric automobiles with the advantage of parking in the shadow now. Another plus we have installed is an Implant against the Mosquitos which is healthier then the smoky alternatives.
The huge covered Veranda allows you to stay outside in nearly every weather, even in Italian winters we enjoy the air, the view over the valley and into the garden. Smokers have several places to go and sit to enjoy their cigars or cigarettes. Two covered terraces, a Hollywood swing, at the pool or at the stone table.
The garden has an irrigation system and a mower robot, which usually amuses guests and their dogs.
Our dog passed sadly away but we invite also guests to bring along their well behaved dog.
Groceries are close by and Olive oil and Wine are available within walking distance.
The pool is 5 x 10 m and has comfortable stairs to get into the water, our elderly parents go in there without problems and it makes me happy to see, they can use it and enjoy it. For the youngest ones is a high chair and a travel cot available.
"Olive Wood" has been our family - holiday home for more than 30 years, but the maintenance is updated because it is a pleasure to take care of a little paradise on earth.

Nine years ago we restored it and made it accessible for wheelchair users. It is an independent house which can accommodate up to 6 persons, ideal for families.
It is an independent house which consists of one wheelchair accessible suite with bathroom and kitchenette and one main house directly connected with the kitchen but one can close the door. The two parts are linked by an indoor 5-steps stair or by an outdoor wheelchair path.
The wheelchair-accessible suite is 35 square meters, has a bathroom with large, comfortable shower with seat and wc, a double bedroom and a small living room with TV, fridge, coffee machine, and a wheel-in kitchenette for wheelchair-bound guests, a chaise longue. Outside a furnished terrace with pergola where you can enjoy your early breakfast independently from the “long-sleepers” of the main apartment.
The beautiful terracotta wheelchair path leads to the large loggia with fireplace; that is the place where you will mostly be, you'll see: it serves as living and dining room with every kind of weather. One can even grill when it rains because there's plenty of space under the high roof.
From the loggia you enter the main apartment: on the ground floor there's a fully equipped kitchen (with dishwasher), a large living room, a bathroom, a double bedroom and on the first floor the twin bed room attic for children . The attic is also equipped with a bathroom-laundry room.
The house is ideal for families with children, elderly persons or disabled people and even for families who want to bring their dog in vacations: the entire garden is fully fenced.
The house is very comfortable and it has a certain personality, because it's really like a second home to us: it has the touch of our taste and our family history. Being at the border of an antique village which dates back to the year 1200 makes this a place for a true authentic experience in your holidays.
Our house welcomes you and your family or friends in Oliveto with a huge garden, private parking and your own private infinity-pool, with a panoramic view over the Val di Chiana valley.
The house is in beautiful countryside and superbly located for art and culture-trips. The historic towns and villages of Tuscany and Umbria are just a drive away: Arezzo is just 20 minutes far, Florence is about 1 hour away, Siena and Cortona about 50 minutes, whilst Perugia and Assisi are within easy reach.
Our aim is that everybody feels free and independent to move around in this charming place.
The location is right on the border of a very small borgo (village) called “Oliveto”, that is why we called the house “Olive-wood”: it sounds like Hollywood, though it looks NOTHING like Hollywood; but when we lie on the sun beds at night, watching the starry sky and counting the shooting stars that pass over our heads, we just feel as great.
The rich framework of hills, cultivated land and small patches of wood hosts a diversity of birds. Short-toed Eagle is notable among the raptors, while migrant warblers feed on fig trees and berries in the garden of the house. Hoopoe is common in spring and summer and visits regularly the garden, while Zitting Cisticola zips in and out from the tall grass of the fields. White wagtails dance around the infinity pool almost every day.
To make it short:
6 sleeps plus 1 Cot (baby bed)
3 bed rooms (all beds are 2 m long)
3 baths
1 laundry (within one of the three bathrooms)
Huge garden
Own private pool (NOT shared) (5 x 10 m, depth 1.50 m) plus sun-terrace
Fence all around the property
Wi-Fi free (Please note that in 2014 British television companies stopped broadcasting to Europe. Links may be available via the wi-fi)
Floor heating in the baths and in the wheelchair accessible part
Air condition in two bed rooms (wheelchair friendly suite and attic)
Satellite TV
Carport
Sustainable Photovoltaic System for Electricity
Charging station for electric cars

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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”.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: We adored everything about this villa and location. A fabulous base for day trips, luxury and comfort without ostentation, spectacular pool and views of the valley, there is nothing not to love. Claudia and Bernardo were attentive hosts who made us feel at home even before we arrived. We are already thinking of coming back. This place is a gem.
