Casa Olivia is a beautiful country house set in three acres of land, with a private swimming pool. It has a large, lawned garden, planted with olive, cypress and mature elm. Set amongst fields of cherry, oak and truffle, it enjoys views of rolling hills, distant mountains and the medieval hill-top town of Penna San Giovanni. Access is by private white road, ensuring privacy and tranquillity. The river Saline is just a short walk away. Beautifully located, it has been described as “paradise” by the local mayor. The house itself is an imposing stone house comprising over 400 square metres of living space over three floors. It has traditional exposed stone walls, tile and beam ceilings and a stylish, contemporary finish. All the rooms are very spacious and generously proportioned, with high ceilings and plenty of natural light. The house facilitates the flow of indoor/outdoor living, with open-plan spaces extending to outside terraces and gardens.

Guest comments
'Wow! A beautiful villa in a beautiful setting in a beautiful country - I'm so glad we found you. We've stayed in many villas and none have been so well thought out, maintained and stocked, from the abundance of fluffy white towels to the ironing board - we had everything we needed.'
'We have rented villas over 20 years in France and Italy and this is the most generously appointed we have experienced - we really appreciated the clean cut design and luxurious style and fittings.'
'Casa Olivia is beautifully furnished and excellently equipped - just like a second home in Italia!'
