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.

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)

We had the most amazing stay at Lena’s place! We were 2 families with 4 young children and the house could not have been better for us. The kids had so many options for activities with the yard (and swings!) and pool. The house was large enough for each family to have completely separate areas but great communal space to enjoy together. We loved the upstairs balcony for an evening nightcap after the kids went to bed. Lena was the most amazing host, even organized a chef to come to the house two of the nights. The chef made the most delicious meals and took away all of the hassle of cooking and cleaning so that we could just enjoy ourselves in the Tuscan countryside. Lastly the location couldn’t have been better. We did day trips to Florence, Lucca, Forte dei Marmi, San Gimignano and a day of wine tasting. The kids loved Pinocchio park nearby. Overall it was the best stay we could have asked for! I highly recommend staying here!
