Exceptional restoration
Villa dell' Olivo is a country house designed impeccably and with extraordinary taste. The interior and exterior of this large stone farmhouse, built at the beginning of the 18th century, have recently been restored it authentic manner. The entire atmosphere is uncompromisingly genuine, and the architectural style of Tuscany and traditional workmanship of the region are reflected there in the smallest details: the spacious rooms have immaculate white walls, and the floors are entirely covered with handmade terra-cotta tiles. The brick roof rests on mighty oak beams. Elegant, silver-greyish pietraserena stone frames the windows and doors. The latter are made of cypress wood and are provided with neat, antique-style brass fittings.
Villa dell' Olivo is original and artistic, and conveys an atmosphere of total privacy.
This place was designed with loving care. Over the years, the owner of the house painstakingly planned the interior decoration on his own; with a knowing eye, he tastefully designed the interior using selected objects and carefully-chosen furnishings. The result is a true masterpiece. State-of-the-art facilities are "hidden" behind an unpretentious, but utterly charming surface that resembles a monastic-like simplicity. This simplicity is not accidental but the result of meticulous design deliberately limiting the furnishings to the essentials. The design was always determined by one leitmotif, namely to respect and retain the gracefulness and simplicity of the old farmhouse in harmony with its rural setting. The planning proficiently takes advantage of the natural incidence of light, which is even more important than the furnishings: the rooms overlook the valley and have been opened by round arches. The sun's rays produce a fascinating atmosphere and accentuate the plainness of the interior. The beautiful oak furniture from bygone days is unadorned and harmonises with the antique stone, the “terracotta” floors, and the warm tones of the roof beams, to create a very nostalgic country atmosphere. Visitors can relax and enjoy the picturesque surroundings - the rooms are reminiscent of paintings.
