Beautifully located in a peaceful olive grove and surrounded by mature gardens, Villa Oliva is a lovely 4 bedroomed villa with a lovely private swimming pool. Consisting of a living room, dining room, spacious kitchen area, and 4 bedrooms there is plenty of room to relax in comfort.
Externally, the large garden, surrounded by olive groves lends itself to outdoor living, with shaded areas outside the house for al fresco dining or relaxing whilst taking in the sumptuous view.
The house is just below the tiny village of Campo, and a few minutes drive from the small town of Gallicano. The ancient and beautiful festival town of Barga can be seen from the house, and it's only a few kilometres drive from the market town of Castelnuovo. The classic "art" city of Lucca is an easy drive, as is Pisa and Florence.
Garfagnana is 'Hidden Tuscany' at its best. With its' stunning scenery it is the best area in Tuscany for walking and outdoor activities. Friends of Tuscany are the oldest agency in the area, and we have close ties with an Outdoor Activities company who offer many international class adventures. We can also offer Art classes with a well known artist, excursions to the Cinque Terre, Florence and Lucca, visits to vineyards, historical guided tours and Italian cooking lessons.
Friends of Tuscany can help you arrange a pre-arrival shopping service, and also a prepared Tuscan meal for your arrival.

Fantastic villa in beautiful rural location
By Eva Ryan on 12-Nov-2019
We had a wonderful holiday at Villa Oliva, is located in the beautiful and peaceful town of Campo in the Garfagnana region. The house is spacious and so well equipped although there is no Aircon. The fans provided helped on the hot nights. Cristina left us a welcome basket with lots of local produce which was delightful. The pool was loved by the kids and the villa was surrounded by lots of local produce which we were allowed to eat such as grapes, olives, herbs and fruit. The view from the villa across the hills was breath taking and enjoyed at every opportunity. We visited lots of fabulous towns such as Lucca, Gallicano, Pisa, Castelnuovo & even went to the beach for the day at Livorno. The only downside was the number of midgie bites we got which isn't the fault of the villa or owners. it was just an inconvenience and irritation. We would highly recommend this property to others and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.
Excellent!

Really, one of the best villas we have stayed in anywhere. A wonderful location. Superb
Idyllic location
By Sian Hanlon on 19-Aug-2019
A beautiful villa in the Tuscan hills with lots of great villages and towns nearby to visit. We were met at the villa by Cristina, who was very friendly and helpful and had even left us a welcome basket of provisions, including the olive oil that is produced there. We were also given some really useful notes on things to do in the area, which we used a lot throughout the week. The kids loved the pool, which was lovely and warm and a good size for swimming. A fantastic week and thoroughly recommended!
We had a wonderful time at Villa Oliva
By Angela Laurance on 13-Oct-2017
Myself and my family including my 80 year old father had the most fantastic holiday at Villa Oliva. The villa is set in a tranquil hillside hamlet. The only interruption was the sound of church bells which are lovely. We enjoyed lazy days by the pool and exploring other local villages. The villa offered roomy, clean accommodation with the most magnificent views. We hope to visit again!
A perfect home from home
By Josie Williams on 11-Oct-2017
The property was lovely, well appointed and comfortable. We were given a warm welcome by the owners who popped in during our stay to make sure everything was OK. The situation is beautiful with superb views and a brilliant base for exploring the area. We could not have asked for more! Thank you.
In one word, Fantastic!
By Gerald Paalman on 02-Aug-2017
Great place, very helpful and nice owners, nice quiet, superb garden with pool and fantastic view! In a small old town where almost no tourists are, beautiful old villa! Also the surroundings are beautiful! It is slightly higher so it cools down at night. Recommend, we'll be back!
Fantastic

Our host Christina are an amazing person, always smiling. Love her! The house and view are really wonderful, loved sitting in the garden with the swallows flying around you. It´s a small road and a narrow opening to Villa Olivi, so do not use the biggest car! You most visit Lucca and eat icecream, Pisa and the market in Garfagnana, every Thursday. The poolarea are stunning, our grovne-up-children became children again. It´s cleaned up 2 times a week. You have a churchbell ringing every halfhour (from 7am to 22 pm), it became a nice touch, you could not help yourself counting the strokes. Love to come back!!
Tolles Haus, super Lage.

Sehr schönes Haus und toller Pool. Besser als auf den Fotos. 3 komplette Bäder (nicht 2 wie beschrieben!). Fantastische Aussicht. Ideal für Familien mit Kinder. Die Zufahrtsstraße ist wirklich eng und nichts für große Autos, aber es lohnt sich.
Séjour impeccable
By Frédéric P. on 01-Sep-2016
La maison était conforme à la description du site. L'accueil était très chaleureux et la maison était dans un état impeccable, très bien équipée. La piscine était également des plus agréable. Deux belles terrasses et une vue fantastique nous ont permis de passer un séjour des plus agréable.

We were overwhelmed by the view and the house when we arrived. The photographs on the website didn't do it justice - the rooms were far nicer than we'd expected and the views were stunning. The owners, Cristina and Maura, had left plenty of lovely food for us as well as fruit picked from the gardens. The villa was very well equipped with plenty of outdoor space. In addition to the pool area, there were two eating areas outside, a massive barbecue, and places to sit and read or admire the fabulous view. We would go back again as the villa accommodates two families very comfortably. Cristina and Maura couldn't do enough for us and came regularly to clean the pool as well as answer our questions and provide information about the local area. There was plenty to do in the surrounding area as well as great walks from the house.
A perfect vacation

We had a perfect vacation at the beautiful Villa Olivia. It's a very privat house with room for the kids to play, both at the pool and the surrounding areas. With the gates closed at the pool we could let the kids play without any worries. Within an hours drive you find both beaches, wineyards and beautiful cities like Pisa and Lucca. Thanks to Christina for hosting our vacation.
Everything You need including a stunning view
By Thomas E. on 14-Jul-2016
The house has everything You need to have pleasant and relaxing vacation, and the owners was very helpfull in all matters. There is a BIG supermarket close by, so our advice would be, to fill the refrigerator and and enjoy evening meals on the terrace with a stunning view over the valley, after a day by the pool. And a little warning, after the last turn on the road towards the house, the road gets VERY steep and VERY narrow between two houses..... This was the 2nd time we rented the house, and we would certainly rent again, if we were to spend our vacation in these parts of Italy again.
