About this villa rental

The oldest part of Casa Oliveta dates back to 1632. The elegant and spacious (550 m2) villa has since then been enlarged and renovated to the excellent condition as it has today. The house is very beautiful, with views of olive groves, a bird lake and small Italian villages in the distance. The house is built in solid stone and therefore retains a cool freshness during the summertime. All windows are fitted with mosquito nets and shutters, and each bedroom has a ceiling fan.

Just in front of the house, facing south, you will find the large swimming pool, surrounded by a large, paved sun terrace and an outside shower. There are also swings, a fotball game and a ping pong table.
The house has 2 floors and there are 7 rooms with double beds, of which 3 on the ground floor, and 4 bathrooms - 2 on each floor. Many beautiful historical features have been preserved, such as the amazing bathroom with Majolica tiles in clear blue, green and pink. On the ground floor you will also find the large living room with sofa TV and a fireplace, and the large kitchen with space for both cooking and long dinners. Outside the kitchen there is a large, covered, loggia with barbequeue and plenty of space for eating al fresco. Above, there is a large covered terrace where there is plenty of room for hanging out in the lounge sofas.

In the garden, about 2 hectares, you will find lots of olive trees, fruit trees, flowers, spices and a large vegetable garden. On a secluded part of the plot, is also our private house, so we are close to hand if there are any questions.

We attach great importance to the fact that the crops are organic, and we are also self-sufficient for electricity from our solar panels. Water to pool and irrigation is taken from a separate well.

From Pisa Airport and the sea it takes about 30 minutes, and the charming city of Lucca is only 15 minutes away. If you want to explore Florence, it will take about 50 min. On the way there. 30 min, passing Montecatini Terme where there are a number of spas and thermal baths to choose from.
There are possibilities for biking, hiking (Garfagnana), skiing (Abetone), tennis, culture and music (concerts in Lucca, Puccini in Torre di Lago mm), wine tasting (Montecarlo, Bolgheri, Chianti etc.). We will be happy to assist you with recommendations and advice.

The house is on the border between Pieve di Compito and Colle di Compito (between Lucca and Pontedera). In the village there is a small grocery store, a bar, a pizzeria and a very charming restaurant, Il Giardinetto, all within walking distance. The road around the bird lake is ideal for walking or jogging. In the neighboring town of Sant Andrea you play tennis and pick up its crystal clear spring water in taps located just off the road.

Wow 10/10 StayWe have recently come back from a stay at Casa Oliveta and what an amazing stay it was. Three generations from 10 years to 75 years old and there was something for everyone. The approach to the villa was one of awe at the beauty of the area, small staircase from the parking spots overlooking countless olive groves leads to the main villa. On arrival Lena met us and took us on the tour of the villa, filled us in on all the information required and then left us to settle in. The villa is set on two floors with bedrooms and bathrooms on both floors, the upstairs bedrooms all have air conditioning and downstairs there are ceiling fans and upright fans although downstairs is much cooler at night so air conditioning is not necessary. All the rooms are spacious and towels are provided for showers and the pools. Bathrooms are well equipped and very clean. The kitchen is well equipped with every possible, cup, glass, utensil, pot and plate that you could possibly need for your trip. Outside the villa there is a big seating area for everyone to meet at mealtimes and a BBQ, with a small set of stones that lead you to the pool area. Around the pool there are multiple sunbeds and chairs for everyone to enjoy, the pool itself is a good size and saltwater which made going under water without goggles much more enjoyable. Along with multiple olives trees we were able to use some of the home-grown herbs in the garden. Just a short walk on the property through some trees

Even on the few rainy days during our stay, spacious Casa Oliveta was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful views in every direction. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and Lena was a wonderful host - thank you!

Beautiful setting owner helpful and friendly. We all loved the pool which was kept clean. The upstairs bedrooms would really benefit from aircon in each room. The vegetables from the garden were much appreciated as was the 2 bottles of Prosecco, a lovely touch.

We had an incredible stay at the property. The home and grounds are lovely and we found there was something for everyone! We also loved the location as we were close Lucca and Florence but it was a more relaxed and easy area than being in town. The host was very responsive and made check in/check out very easy. Definitely made our vacation one to remember.

There was plenty of space, comfortable beds, lovely pool and attractive gardens. BBQ area needed lighting but all other outside areas were well lit. Rooms spacious and kitchen very well equipped. We would have benefitted from air conditioning in bedrooms as it was so hot at night but the upstairs bedrooms did have floor fans. Hosts were very friendly and responded very quickly to answer queries. The house felt safe and we didn’t want to leave!

We were a group of eleven (three generations) celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary. It is impossible to express how much we truly enjoyed ourselves at this lovely slice of paradise. The owners, Lena and Peppe, are extraordinary hosts of an amazing property. They are warm, welcoming, and gracious, available but never intrusive. Although it was our first time at Casa Oliveta, it was so welcoming that we felt like we had been there many times before. That's the magic of Lena and Peppe and Casa Oliveta. GO! (but, shhh, don't tell anyone about this place)
