Great place
We stayed in the house for a few weeks with friends and children and our dog. The property is well maintained, kitchen has everything you need, rooms are clean. There is enough space for two families. The view is beautiful and the pool area is proper. The owners communicate promptly and are responsive to requests. We loved our stay, it was really great experience! Thank you!

Awesome Villa
Wow what a great place! Perfect for four adult’s and four kids. Gated pool was a huge bonus, when locked we could let the kids explore the large terraced garden whilst the adults took in the amazing views with a glass of wine. Christina left a huge welcome basket and had some great advice on the area. Would love to go back!

Fantastic villa in beautiful rural location
We had a wonderful holiday at Villa Oliva, is located in the beautiful and peaceful town of Campo in the Garfagnana region. The house is spacious and so well equipped although there is no Aircon. The fans provided helped on the hot nights. Cristina left us a welcome basket with lots of local produce which was delightful. The pool was loved by the kids and the villa was surrounded by lots of local produce which we were allowed to eat such as grapes, olives, herbs and fruit. The view from the villa across the hills was breath taking and enjoyed at every opportunity. We visited lots of fabulous towns such as Lucca, Gallicano, Pisa, Castelnuovo & even went to the beach for the day at Livorno. The only downside was the number of midgie bites we got which isn't the fault of the villa or owners. it was just an inconvenience and irritation. We would highly recommend this property to others and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

Idyllic location
A beautiful villa in the Tuscan hills with lots of great villages and towns nearby to visit. We were met at the villa by Cristina, who was very friendly and helpful and had even left us a welcome basket of provisions, including the olive oil that is produced there. We were also given some really useful notes on things to do in the area, which we used a lot throughout the week. The kids loved the pool, which was lovely and warm and a good size for swimming. A fantastic week and thoroughly recommended!

Everything we'd hoped for - and more!
Villa Oliva proved the ideal holiday location for all 3 generations of our family. We loved the pool and it's surroundings - ideally located, and well equipped. For a family of foodees, the kitchen was generously equipped and the bar b q a source of delicious dinners - no need to venture far to eat well! The views were spectacular and our host, Christina, could not have been more helpful.

Family friendly Tuscany oasis
This is a beautiful property. It is located in a very quiet area, but plenty close by to see - a car is a must. The roads are very narrow but you get used to them. Pool is not heated, but refreshing on hot days. Landscaping is thoughtful and creates a private oasis in the middle of an olive grove. House is cozy with a well appointed kitchen. WiFi is pay as you go (save for a 10 € credit) which would have been nice to know in advance. Great outdoor living space and the views cannot be beat. We stayed with our 2.5 year old and had a very relaxing stay. Day trips to Barga, Vagli de Sotto, and the coast were highlights of the area. Hosts were wonderful.

We had a wonderful time at Villa Oliva
Myself and my family including my 80 year old father had the most fantastic holiday at Villa Oliva. The villa is set in a tranquil hillside hamlet. The only interruption was the sound of church bells which are lovely. We enjoyed lazy days by the pool and exploring other local villages. The villa offered roomy, clean accommodation with the most magnificent views. We hope to visit again!

Villa Oliva: lovely house with fantastic views.
We were overwhelmed by the view and the house when we arrived. The photographs on the website didn't do it justice - the rooms were far nicer than we'd expected and the views were stunning. The owners, Cristina and Maura, had left plenty of lovely food for us as well as fruit picked from the gardens. The villa was very well equipped with plenty of outdoor space. In addition to the pool area, there were two eating areas outside, a massive barbecue, and places to sit and read or admire the fabulous view. We would go back again as the villa accommodates two families very comfortably. Cristina and Maura couldn't do enough for us and came regularly to clean the pool as well as answer our questions and provide information about the local area. There was plenty to do in the surrounding area as well as great walks from the house.

Everything You need including a stunning view
The house has everything You need to have pleasant and relaxing vacation, and the owners was very helpfull in all matters. There is a BIG supermarket close by, so our advice would be, to fill the refrigerator and and enjoy evening meals on the terrace with a stunning view over the valley, after a day by the pool. And a little warning, after the last turn on the road towards the house, the road gets VERY steep and VERY narrow between two houses..... This was the 2nd time we rented the house, and we would certainly rent again, if we were to spend our vacation in these parts of Italy again.

Schönes Haus mit fantastischem Ausblick
Aufenthalt mit 4 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern, viel Platz im Haus, Küche gut ausgestattet, Möglichkeiten zum Essen drinnen und draußen, prima Grill - alles, was benötigt wird, ist vorhanden. Ansprechpartnerin Vorort ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit, wenn es mal etwas zu klären gibt. Toller Pool mit Liegen und extra Handtüchern und Sonnenschirmen. Highlight ist der Ausblick von der Terasse vor dem Haus - ein Traum! Umgebung mit Barga und Castelnuovo sehr schön, aber eher ruhiger, Lucca in knapp 1h erreichbar, Pisa etwa 15 min weiter. Großer Supermarkt in Gallicano (15 min Fahrzeit) mit allem, was man so braucht in großer Auswahl. Die letzten Meter Anfahrt zum Haus sind sehr steil (15-20%) und die Durchfahrt ist tatsächlich eng. Ein Auto mit einer Breite von 2,08 m (bei ausgeklappten Spiegeln) passt soeben durch, dann muss man aber auch genau "treffen". Fazit: Ein toller Urlaub, wir würden wiederkommen.

Tolle Aussicht und alles was es braucht
Wir waren mit zwei Familien in der Villa Olivi. Die Anfahrt ist wirklich nichts für sehr große Autos, aber dafür wird man mit einem herrlichen Blick belohnt. Die Gastgeber sind sehr nett und im Haus fehlt es wirklich an nichts! Bei unserem Aufenthalt war es noch recht kalt und vielleicht waren wir in diesem Jahr die ersten Gäste. Deshalb hat es ziemlich lang gedauert, bis es im Haus annehmbar warm war und der Wintermuff verflogen war. Aber der Kamin und Pelletofen haben dabei sehr gut geholfen!
