About this property

Beautiful, spacious villa with a large pool - close to Lucca, sea and Florence

The oldest part of Casa Oliveta dates back to 1632. The elegant and spacious (550 m2) villa has since then been enlarged and renovated to the excellent condition as it has today. The house is very beautiful, with views of olive groves, a bird lake and small Italian villages in the distance. The house is built in solid stone and therefore retains a cool freshness during the summertime. All windows are fitted with mosquito nets and shutters, and each bedroom has a ceiling fan.

Just in front of the house, facing south, you will find the large swimming pool, surrounded by a large, paved sun terrace and an outside shower. There are also swings, a fotball game and a ping pong table.
The house has 2 floors and there are 7 rooms with double beds, of which 3 on the ground floor, and 4 bathrooms - 2 on each floor. Many beautiful historical features have been preserved, such as the amazing bathroom with Majolica tiles in clear blue, green and pink. On the ground floor you will also find the large living room with sofa TV and a fireplace, and the large kitchen with space for both cooking and long dinners. Outside the kitchen there is a large, covered, loggia with barbequeue and plenty of space for eating al fresco. Above, there is a large covered terrace where there is plenty of room for hanging out in the lounge sofas.

In the garden, about 2 hectares, you will find lots of olive trees, fruit trees, flowers, spices and a large vegetable garden. On a secluded part of the plot, is also our private house, so we are close to hand if there are any questions.

We attach great importance to the fact that the crops are organic, and we are also self-sufficient for electricity from our solar panels. Water to pool and irrigation is taken from a separate well.

From Pisa Airport and the sea it takes about 30 minutes, and the charming city of Lucca is only 15 minutes away. If you want to explore Florence, it will take about 50 min. On the way there. 30 min, passing Montecatini Terme where there are a number of spas and thermal baths to choose from.
There are possibilities for biking, hiking (Garfagnana), skiing (Abetone), tennis, culture and music (concerts in Lucca, Puccini in Torre di Lago mm), wine tasting (Montecarlo, Bolgheri, Chianti etc.). We will be happy to assist you with recommendations and advice.

The house is on the border between Pieve di Compito and Colle di Compito (between Lucca and Pontedera). In the village there is a small grocery store, a bar, a pizzeria and a very charming restaurant, Il Giardinetto, all within walking distance. The road around the bird lake is ideal for walking or jogging. In the neighboring town of Sant Andrea you play tennis and pick up its crystal clear spring water in taps located just off the road.

Beautiful home with spectacular views!
Even on the few rainy days during our stay, spacious Casa Oliveta was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful views in every direction. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and Lena was a wonderful host - thank you!

Family trip
We had an incredible stay at the property. The home and grounds are lovely and we found there was something for everyone! We also loved the location as we were close Lucca and Florence but it was a more relaxed and easy area than being in town. The host was very responsive and made check in/check out very easy. Definitely made our vacation one to remember.

Lovely happy week
Beautiful setting owner helpful and friendly. We all loved the pool which was kept clean. The upstairs bedrooms would really benefit from aircon in each room. The vegetables from the garden were much appreciated as was the 2 bottles of Prosecco, a lovely touch.

Multi-generational stay
There was plenty of space, comfortable beds, lovely pool and attractive gardens. BBQ area needed lighting but all other outside areas were well lit. Rooms spacious and kitchen very well equipped. We would have benefitted from air conditioning in bedrooms as it was so hot at night but the upstairs bedrooms did have floor fans. Hosts were very friendly and responded very quickly to answer queries. The house felt safe and we didn’t want to leave!

Shhh, don't tell anyone about this place, you'll spoil it!
We were a group of eleven (three generations) celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary. It is impossible to express how much we truly enjoyed ourselves at this lovely slice of paradise. The owners, Lena and Peppe, are extraordinary hosts of an amazing property. They are warm, welcoming, and gracious, available but never intrusive. Although it was our first time at Casa Oliveta, it was so welcoming that we felt like we had been there many times before. That's the magic of Lena and Peppe and Casa Oliveta. GO! (but, shhh, don't tell anyone about this place)

Perfect Family Villa in Tuscany
We had the most amazing stay at Lena’s place! We were 2 families with 4 young children and the house could not have been better for us. The kids had so many options for activities with the yard (and swings!) and pool. The house was large enough for each family to have completely separate areas but great communal space to enjoy together. We loved the upstairs balcony for an evening nightcap after the kids went to bed. Lena was the most amazing host, even organized a chef to come to the house two of the nights. The chef made the most delicious meals and took away all of the hassle of cooking and cleaning so that we could just enjoy ourselves in the Tuscan countryside. Lastly the location couldn’t have been better. We did day trips to Florence, Lucca, Forte dei Marmi, San Gimignano and a day of wine tasting. The kids loved Pinocchio park nearby. Overall it was the best stay we could have asked for! I highly recommend staying here!

Fantastiskt familjevecka
Vi åkte iväg i tre generationer för att fira diverse jämna födelsedagar och vi hade det fantastiskt i Casa Oliveta. Det var varmt (juni) så den stora poolen var uppskattad av såväl barn som vuxna. Huset var stort så vi (fyra ”familjer” i familjen) fick plats utan problem och fantastiskt att kunna äta ute vid det stora matbordet! Det var där vi hängde en hel del om dagarna då det var skyddat från solen. Vi provade på att inte ha bil vilket fungerade ok men det blev några vandringar längs bilvägen från mataffären några kilometer bort. Ska man in till Lucca eller vidare till Pisa/Florens gick det smidigt att ta lokalbussen som avgick i närheten. Stor hjälpsamhet från Lena inför och under veckan uppskattades och hennes vinprovning var en härlig start på veckan där.

Fantastiskt hus för stora familjen och alla åldrar!
Vi var 13 personer, 4 familjer. Varje familj hade eget rum m dusch. Vi hade välutrustat kök och en härlig altan med plats för alla där vi åt alla mål vi åt hemma. Poolen är helt fantastiskt och ssk barnen älskade den! Bageri och slaktare på gångavstånd, 30 min till havet, Lucca 20 min och Florens 50 min. Vi är alla väldigt nöja med vår vistelse på Casa Oliveta!

Traumhaus in der Toskana
Als eine Gruppe von 10 Leuten hatten wir hier eine wirklich tolle Woche. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet und es gibt wirklich alles, was man braucht. Die Zimmer sind völlig in Ordnung, das wirklich tolle ist jedoch der tolle und praktische Außenbereich. Küche, Sitzbereich innen und außen und Pool sind in einem Radius von 5-10 Metern voneinander entfernt. Super für Selbstversorger! Die Lage ist sehr ruhig aber nicht abgelegen, der nächste Supermarkt ist nur 5 Minuten per Auto entfernt, zum Meer fährt man jedoch ca. 45 Minuten. Kommunikation top, wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt. Vielen Dank!

En upplevelse utöver det vanliga!
Det var 3:e gången som vi var i Toscana och vi hade högt ställda förväntningar, de överträffades! Pricken över i:t var det fantastiska värdskapet på Oliveta, Peppe & Lena. Att vi avslutade dessa fantastiska dagar med otroliga pizzor som bakades i deras ugn tillsammans, det var världsklass! Våra varmaste rekommendationer till alla som vill se Italiens fantastiska Toscana med dess vingårdar med de härliga värdpar vi träffade i Montechiari och Rossi, och det finns så många fler. Pisa skall ses men även fantastiska Lucca och Florens som alla är inom 1 timma bil. Vi kommer definitivt att göra flera besök i Italien och utgå från Casa Oliveta!.

Très agréable séjour en famille
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour en famille à la Casa Oliveta. La maison, très spacieuse et très belle, est tout à fait conforme à la description et aux photos. Elle n’est pas climatisée mais est restée relativement fraîche surtout au RDC malgré la période de canicule pendant notre séjour. La piscine au sel est très agréable avec de nombreux transats. Elle n’est pas sécurisée. La maison est en location depuis peu et nous avons eu la chance de bénéficier des nombreuses améliorations que les propriétaires apportent au fur et à mesure. Les propriétaires ont leur maison proche de la location et sont à l’écoute pour répondre aux interrogations. La région, très touristique, permet de faire de nombreuses visites et se prête également aux sorties sportives à vélo. Pour les personnes sensibles aux bruits de la campagne (chiens, coqs, ...), il peut être utile de s’équiper de bouchons d’oreille pour la nuit. Nous vous recommandons cette location entre amis ou en famille.

About the host

Hosted by Lena Lagerstrom, Peter Ekmark

Host profile image
Peppe is an entrepreneur who has been working a number of years as a leader within media. He is also a sought after speaker and author of the books ”Pojken som levde sina drömmar” och ”Sälja bra eller sälja bäst – hur du hittar nyckeln till kundens hjärta”.
Lena has a MSc in Engineering and works as an IT Architect.

Why they chose this property

When Peppe, 25 years ago, sat on a terrace in Tuscany thinking about the future, he visualized a dream. Before he turned 50, he would have his own house in Tuscany. Later he met Lena, who shortly shared his dream. In 2010, that dream was realized - it became an old stone house in northern Tuscany outside of Lucca.

We immediately fell in love with this region and felt a need to share our love for Italy, so we started to organize food and wine tours, as well as courses and conferences in our house. It did not take long until our friends started to ask if they could not rent our house when we were not there.

So over time, a new dream emerged. That is when we found Casa Oliveta - a house that has everything we wanted. Two houses on a large, enclosed, olive orchard. The smaller house, which is a little secluded, to ourselves, as well as a large, wonderful house that we can rent to those who want to learn more about Tuscany and discover what this region has to offer.

We have 180 olive trees and a variety of fruit trees, and since Lena is educated sommelier and wine maker, it will probably not take long until there are grape vines.

What makes this property unique

Spacious rooms, design furniture (2019), beautiful views, a big private garden, a big pool with a maximum depth of 1.70 m.
