We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Tuscany-- the location was perfect, and the views were gorgeous. We were only able to enjoy the pristine pool once due to the cooler weather, but we still enjoyed relaxing on the huge deck. The owners, who live upstairs, were always immediately responsive and helpful (rebooting internet, helping with the laundry, etc.) but not intrusive. The highlight was an excellent dinner cooked by Lucia-- antipasto, bread, salad, pasta bolognese, bistecca, dessert, and liquers. Lucia and Gabriele used to have a restaurant in Florence and clearly know how to entertain. The translator app on my phone proved helpful as well.

A superbly located, beautifully renovated, spacious apartment. Kitchen is so well appointed that we couldn't resist preparing at least one large and very enjoyable meal during our stay, in addition to breakfasts and snacks. There's a reasonable, small shop within walking distance, and it is easy enough to drive up to Siena for more serious provisions. The surrounding grounds are lovely and well kept, adding to the ambiance.

We had a great stay. Our room was very spacious and had all the amenities we required. Our hosts were very accommodating and we felt a part of the family. They even gave us a bottle of their home brewed wine and fresh pressed olive oil!
We had a lovely time touring their grounds and fields. We got to play with their two dogs, visit with their friendly donkey "arborgio" and tour their wine cellers. A great time and a great location in Tuscany.

A truly beautiful place to stay. The town, surroundings and tower are wonderful. We felt we were back in time with the beautiful, tasteful decorations. I would certainly stay here again

Very friendly and helpful owner; lovely villa; beautiful views and great swimming pool. Little noisy in the mornings due to farm machinery but not a big issue

Dieses Haus ist sehr schön, schöner Garten, sehr gepflegt. Ruhige Lage, trotz Straßennähe. Gute Lage für Ausflüge und sehr großzügig gestaltet. Eine schöne Villa mit Charme. Sehr gute Ausstattung! Alles da was man braucht. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Etwas störend empfanden wir, dass tgl. der Garten gepflegt wurde, so dass wir nie alleine waren. Der Pool wird tgl. gereinigt, immer am Vormittag. Negativ war: die Preisregelung des Stromverbrauches. Man muss 1000 € Kaution hinterlegen, was uns sehr verwundert hat. 1000 € für 14 Tage Urlaub. Im Nachhinein haben wir es verstanden. Leider wurde uns vor Anreise der Preis nicht genannt und es wurde uns auch nicht gesagt, dass der Pool ununterbrochen am Stromkreis hängt. Aus bisherigen Urlauben kannten wir es dass die Poolpumpe nur tagsüber in Betrieb ist. Am Ende der zwei Wochen waren die 1000 € dann weg. Fanden wir sehr unangemessen und etwas unverschämt, aber nun denn, nicht mehr zu ändern.

Tolles Haus in toller abgeschiedener Lage! Das Haus ist super ausgestattet und befindet sich in einem tadellosem Zustand. Der Pool ist riesig und hat den Kindern gut gefallen. Die Küche ist ebenso gut ausgestattet. Es hat an nichts gemangelt. Ab und zu fällt mal der Strom aus, aber es ist halt ein Haus mitten in den Bergen. Der Weg zum Haus ist holprig und lang. Man muss einige hundert Höhenmeter überwinden. Für tiefer gelegte Autos nicht geeignet, aber wenn man mal da ist, dann ist die Ruhe da und man ist alleine! Rundherum ist nahezu niemand!

Olivo is a very nice house with a beautiful and large garden in a marvellous surrounding. You can enjoy full privacy, the equipment and furniture are simple but charming and fully sufficient. We were four adults and a young child, and the house was absolutely spaceous enough. Due to many stairs it's not ideal for old or handicapped people.
