Viele Grüße aus der Toskana

A wonderful Estate
Left on Jun 27, 2013 for a stay in May 2013
A phantastic garden, nice people, wonderful located for trips to the centers of Tuscany.

Dear Ms Roehrig,

We would like to thank you very for your advise. We spent wonderful holidays in Villa Olivo thanks to the excellent accommodation, owner's hospitality and beautiful surroundings.

Great vacation spot in Tuscany

We really loved our stay. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the location is great and about a 30 minute drive from many places and it's convenient for a family to stay. We used the kitchen and were able to cook some of our meals there. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

Perfect family vacation

We came to Tuscany to celebrate my 60th birthday with the whole family.  Capanna Olivo and Mahonia fully met our expectations. We stayed here 10 years ago and look forward to returning again. The views, the pool and the house (air conditioned) are the best there is. If I have to make a recommendation, the kitchen equipment is a bit spartan, we cooked ourselves. The wine tasting we can recommend.

Incredible time for three generations!

We loved everything about our time! What a beautiful area. We chose to take day trips for each of our 5 days there, but if one just wanted to relax, It couldn't be a better place. The pool and gardens are lovely and the accommodations are very comfortable. Gina and Paola were so welcoming and helpful. Thank you thank you! We hope to return someday.

We very much enjoyed our family visit in the summer of 2017, I cried tears of joy when I arrived with the beauty of the villa and surrounding landscape, and cried tears of sadness when we had to leave! We would love the opportunity to re visit in the summer of 2022.

2 weeks in heaven

Left on Jan 30, 2020 for a stay in Apr 2019

We used Villa Olivo as a base to explore Tuscany. A perfect central location to do this from and a wonderful place to be the heart and centre of our stay in Tuscany. We absolutely loved being there, thank you Gina and Paola and we would return in a heartbeat!

Magia italiana

Abbiamo prenotato Villa Olivo a gennaio per un viaggio a settembre e fortunatamente siamo riusciti a volare a Pisa, noleggiare un'auto e fare il nostro viaggio attraverso il meraviglioso scenario fino a Certaldo. All'arrivo al grande cancello siamo stati accolti da Gina, che ci stava aspettando e ci ha mostrato gli appartamenti e il parco. Il posto era spettacolare e la prima cosa che abbiamo notato è stata la quiete con solo un lieve sussurro dalla brezza. Eravamo così sollevati che, dopo il blocco e le restrizioni di viaggio, fossimo finalmente qui in un posto così bello! La titolare Paola, che abita in loco è una donna molto elegante ed estremamente professionale, è stato un piacere incontrarla e chiacchierare in più occasioni. Gli appartamenti sono grandi con 2 bagni ciascuno, posti a sedere all'aperto sul retro e sul davanti e sui prati con vista sui vigneti. La grande piscina era eccezionalmente pulita e curata da Gina insieme ai giardini e alle pulizie. A causa di COVID - 19 ci sono stati assegnati lettini specifici che erano in un posto fantastico. Cigno ogni giorno perché il tempo era glorioso. A Certaldo c'è una Coop dove ogni giorno facevamo la spesa di ingredienti freschi da cucinare. È stato un vero piacere fare una nuotata, un po' di relax e una passeggiata fino all'appartamento per aprire una bottiglia di vino locale da pranzare sulla nostra terrazza ombreggiata. Ho viaggiato anche in giro, a Firenze e nei vicini borghi collinari e sebbene ci sia stata offerta una degustazione di vini gratuita da Paola presso la struttura gemella su un'altra collina, non abbiamo avuto tempo tra il relax e le visite turistiche per adattarci! Ma ci torneremo la prossima volta che torneremo! Proprietà altamente raccomandate in un posto favoloso sulle colline che si affacciano su vigneti e uliveti - cosa c'è di meglio!

Wunderschöne Anlage mit Wohlfühlgarantie
Left on Sep 10, 2017 for a stay in Sep 2017
Nach einer sehr kurzfristigen Buchung, die super geklappt hat, waren wir bei Ankunft auch von der gesamten Anlage begeistert. Das Grundstück liegt auf einem Hügel und ermöglicht einen weiten Blick über Weinberge und Olivenhaine. Der Pool ist gepflegt und bietet den selben tollen Blick. Die freundliche Housekeeperin Gina war immer für uns verfügbar und hatte sogar einen Willkommens-Korb mit einigen Lebensmitteln zusammengestellt. Sämltliche Ausflugsziele sind innerhalb ca. einer Stunde erreichbar (Siena, Florenz, Pisa, Livorno...). Wir hatten hier eine tolle Woche.

Liebe Frau Röhrig,
wir sind nun seit einer Woche aus unserem Urlaub in der Toskana zurück: 
Das Anwesen ist ein Traum und die Bilder im Internet werden dem Anwesen nicht gerecht. Wenn man morgens aus dem Fenster die Türme von San Gimignano im Morgennebel sieht oder abends bei Eulenrufen im Himmelbett einschläft ist das schon etwas ganz Besonderes. Und der Duft von Rosen und Rosmarin auf dem Weg zum Pool unterstreicht den märchenhaften Charme des Anwesens. Und ich erzähle Ihnen jetzt nichts von Sonnenuntergängen! Ganz besonders hat uns die familiäre Atmosphäre dort gefallen, Paola und Gina waren immer zu einem Schwätzchen bereit und wir haben auf diesem Wege viel über die Toskana außerhalb der üblichen Touristeninformation erfahren. Wir planen bereits unseren nächsten Urlaub dort!
Ihnen noch ein schönes Pfingstwochenende und herzliche Grüße

Guten Tag Frau Röhrig!
Seit Sonntag sind wir -leider- wieder zurück aus der Toscana im kühlen Deutschland. Wir haben im Laufe der letzten 15 Jahre einige schöne Wohndomizilie der Toscana gehabt, aber bei "Villa Olivio" sind alle Erwartungen wirklich übertroffen worden! Für mich, als demjenigen, der eigentlich für die anderen drei Mitreisenden die Auswahl getroffen hat, war es der Volltreffer. Eine traumhafte kleine Anlage, bei der man sofort merkt, wieviel Liebe zum Detail die auch dort wohnende Eigentümerin bei der Renovierung, Gestaltung der Apartments sowie der Einrichtung dort investiert hat. Der Garten ist schon ein kleiner Park, der so herrlich und gepflegt angelegt ist, dass man zusammmen mit der Aussicht eigentlich gar nicht weiss, was man zuerst genießen soll. Die Größe sowie die wenigen
Apartments lassen einem auch am Pool genügend Freiraum, ohne die Nachbarn groß zu bemerken. Kurz und gut: wir waren restlos beigeistert und können diese Anlage nur jedem empfehlen, der die Ruhe und die herrliche Lage dort geniessen mag. Herzliche Grüße aus Einbeck!

Dear Bettina Röhrig,

As you may recall, we rented the Tuscany Villa Olivio in the summer 2007 and because we were very pleased with these accommodations, and in particular the service we received from you, it would please us if you are able to help us once more.
We are now planning our next trip to Italy, and would very much like to go to the Amalfi Coast especially the Sorrento area in July 2011.
As we did in the summer 2007 we require the same high standard as offered at Villa Olivio. Hope you will be able to help us, and are looking forward to your return mail.
 Thanks and best regards,

Our visit was wonderful!
 Thank you so much for helping making our trip so easy and enjoyable. We rented the Capanna villa at Villa Olivo the last week in March and it couldn't have been a more splendid place. We arrived after dark, and the next morning we were awestruck by the magnificent view we awoke to outside our windows. It was even better than we had dreamed. The location was perfect for day trips to Florence, Sienna, Pisa, the neighboring hill towns, and it wasn't even a bad drive to the Cinque Terra. The property owners were very friendly despite the slight language barrier, which we made the best of. The villa was furnished perfectly for a very comfortable stay, and we enjoyed every minute of it. If only we had more time to stay. 
Please pass along our gratitude to the property owners and compliments on a magnificent place.

Cara Paola,
Finalmente sono ritornata a casa in Sud Africa. Ti ringrazio tantissimo per la tua ospilitalitá e amicizia quando abbiamo visitato la sua belissima casa. É stato un piacere immenso di incontrarvi. Ho amato moltissimo la vacanza in Italia - adesso posso sognare ancora della lavanda nel tuo giardino, i villagi vecchi con i ciottoli e le pareti di pietra antica, le opere d'arte storiche e tutta la genta molto gentile e amichevole!
