L'Oliveta 6

Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled in the serene hills of Tuscany, L'Oliveta is a charming stone rural house offering an exceptional vacation rental experience in the heart of the Florentine Valdelsa, near the renowned spa town of Gambassi Terme, Italy. Originally an authentic hay-loft dating back to the last century, this completely air-conditioned home has been thoughtfully restored to combine rustic character with modern comfort. The property is enveloped by an expansive private park of approximately 2,500 square metres, rich with olive trees and Mediterranean vegetation, providing guests with a peaceful and secluded retreat immersed in the Tuscan countryside. The estate benefits from a dedicated 2-car parking area located just past the entrance gate, ensuring convenient and secure access. Wireless internet connectivity is available throughout the property, keeping you effortlessly connected during your stay. The surrounding yard, fully enclosed by fencing and natural hedges, guarantees complete privacy while framing breathtaking panoramic views over the rolling rural landscapes that define this extraordinary corner of Italy.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces of L'Oliveta are among its most captivating features, designed to invite relaxation and immersion in the natural beauty of the Tuscan hills. The large stone portico at the entrance to the house serves as a welcoming al fresco living area, furnished with a table, chairs, and a barbecue, making it an ideal setting for outdoor dining in the shade. Adjacent to the portico, a generous terraced panoramic area provides a tranquil spot for unwinding while taking in the sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. The garden itself is composed largely of expansive lawns well suited for children's play, complemented by brightly coloured flowering bushes, numerous olive trees, and tall shady trees that create a cool and inviting atmosphere. Please note that photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden's grass may differ at the time of your arrival.

Set on a lower terrace approximately 15 metres from the house and reached by crossing the garden and descending a short flight of steps, the non-heated swimming pool occupies the most secluded corner of the estate. Completely enclosed by fencing and hedges that preserve the panoramic outlook, the rectangular pool measures 4 by 8 metres with a constant depth of 1.50 metres. It features a PVC lining with a stone edge, submerged steps for easy water access, chlorine purification, and internal lighting that also illuminates the surrounding area after dark. Sunbeds, an umbrella, small tables, and a cold-water shower complete the poolside setting, creating a refined and comfortable space for sunbathing and leisure. The pool is open from the last Saturday of April until the first Saturday of October.

L'Oliveta is arranged on a single floor and comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
