About this property

Tuscan house with big patio, private pool, garden, wheelchair- and pet-friendly

This is our family vacation home since generations, we refurbished and modernized it in 2015 for ourselves and guests who we like to share it with.It´s strongest point is the covered Loggia with a wonderful view with any kind of weather over the valley; the garden and the infinity pool with the panoramic view. We added this year a carport for three cars with photovoltaic panels and a Charging option for electric vehicles – billed according to consumption (0,40 €/kWh) and now ALL bed rooms have air condition.
I was on wheelchair myself many times for many years and wanted something nice also for persons with different abilities... We wish, more persons who can not find accommodation for themselves or parents or relatives with walking difficulties or steps would discover our lovely suite made for them. On demand I will send a little film for wheelchair users. In 2023 we had a Hurricane and lost 12 trees and the romantic gate and antique wall, we have replanted trees and fruit trees, bushes and made it more sustainable with a photovoltaic carport and a charging station for electric automobiles with the advantage of parking in the shadow now. Another plus we have installed is an Implant against the Mosquitos which is healthier then the smoky alternatives.
The huge covered Veranda allows you to stay outside in nearly every weather, even in Italian winters we enjoy the air, the view over the valley and into the garden. Smokers have several places to go and sit to enjoy their cigars or cigarettes. Two covered terraces, a Hollywood swing, at the pool or at the stone table.
The garden has an irrigation system and a mower robot, which usually amuses guests and their dogs.
Our dog passed sadly away but we invite also guests to bring along their well behaved dog.
Groceries are close by and Olive oil and Wine are available within walking distance.
The pool is 5 x 10 m and has comfortable stairs to get into the water, our elderly parents go in there without problems and it makes me happy to see, they can use it and enjoy it. For the youngest ones is a high chair and a travel cot available.
"Olive Wood" has been our family - holiday home for more than 30 years, but the maintenance is updated because it is a pleasure to take care of a little paradise on earth.

Nine years ago we restored it and made it accessible for wheelchair users. It is an independent house which can accommodate up to 6 persons, ideal for families.

It is an independent house which consists of one wheelchair accessible suite with bathroom and kitchenette and one main house directly connected with the kitchen but one can close the door. The two parts are linked by an indoor 5-steps stair or by an outdoor wheelchair path.
The wheelchair-accessible suite is 35 square meters, has a bathroom with large, comfortable shower with seat and wc, a double bedroom and a small living room with TV, fridge, coffee machine, and a wheel-in kitchenette for wheelchair-bound guests, a chaise longue. Outside a furnished terrace with pergola where you can enjoy your early breakfast independently from the “long-sleepers” of the main apartment.
The beautiful terracotta wheelchair path leads to the large loggia with fireplace; that is the place where you will mostly be, you'll see: it serves as living and dining room with every kind of weather. One can even grill when it rains because there's plenty of space under the high roof.
From the loggia you enter the main apartment: on the ground floor there's a fully equipped kitchen (with dishwasher), a large living room, a bathroom, a double bedroom and on the first floor the twin bed room attic for children . The attic is also equipped with a bathroom-laundry room.

The house is ideal for families with children, elderly persons or disabled people and even for families who want to bring their dog in vacations: the entire garden is fully fenced.
The house is very comfortable and it has a certain personality, because it's really like a second home to us: it has the touch of our taste and our family history. Being at the border of an antique village which dates back to the year 1200 makes this a place for a true authentic experience in your holidays.

Our house welcomes you and your family or friends in Oliveto with a huge garden, private parking and your own private infinity-pool, with a panoramic view over the Val di Chiana valley.
The house is in beautiful countryside and superbly located for art and culture-trips. The historic towns and villages of Tuscany and Umbria are just a drive away: Arezzo is just 20 minutes far, Florence is about 1 hour away, Siena and Cortona about 50 minutes, whilst Perugia and Assisi are within easy reach.
Our aim is that everybody feels free and independent to move around in this charming place.
The location is right on the border of a very small borgo (village) called “Oliveto”, that is why we called the house “Olive-wood”: it sounds like Hollywood, though it looks NOTHING like Hollywood; but when we lie on the sun beds at night, watching the starry sky and counting the shooting stars that pass over our heads, we just feel as great.

The rich framework of hills, cultivated land and small patches of wood hosts a diversity of birds. Short-toed Eagle is notable among the raptors, while migrant warblers feed on fig trees and berries in the garden of the house. Hoopoe is common in spring and summer and visits regularly the garden, while Zitting Cisticola zips in and out from the tall grass of the fields. White wagtails dance around the infinity pool almost every day.

To make it short:

6 sleeps plus 1 Cot (baby bed)
3 bed rooms (all beds are 2 m long)
3 baths
1 laundry (within one of the three bathrooms)
Huge garden
Own private pool (NOT shared) (5 x 10 m, depth 1.50 m) plus sun-terrace
Fence all around the property
Wi-Fi free (Please note that in 2014 British television companies stopped broadcasting to Europe. Links may be available via the wi-fi)
Floor heating in the baths and in the wheelchair accessible part
Air condition in two bed rooms (wheelchair friendly suite and attic)
Satellite TV
Carport
Sustainable Photovoltaic System for Electricity
Charging station for electric cars

About the host

Hosted by Claudia

Host profile image
We spend our summers here since more than 30 years. In 2015 we have it restored and refurbished for us and I was in a wheelchair and we have a dog. So we wanted to give other wheelchair users the possibility to share this marvellous place and also guests who want to bring their dog.
We have put love and effort in it and are still doing it to share it with paying guests occasionally because another thing we like to do is about hospitality.

Why they chose this property

It is from our family since generations, has a great view, is connected to the little medieval village, central to all Sightseeing locations in Tuscany and simply relaxing and recharging.

What makes this property unique

The view, the pool with garden and swing, the covered pation which allows you to sit outside even when it rains. It is like a big out door living room.
The pingpong table has it´s own space, the parking is inside the property which is fully fenced. It is connected to the village to make you feel you are not alone, but you have your privacy.
