Conde Naste Traveller Magazine Feature - Olive House, Tuscany.

Conde Naste feature Italian Villa 'The Olive House' in their February 2011 issue. 

This old Tuscan farmhouse, which sits in total seclusion in the midst of its own private olive grove and lemon trees, has been beautifully restored by its owners, who have created a comfortable, informal yet stylish home.

Despite having the appearance of being in the depth of the Tuscan countryside, Villa Oliveto is just a stone’s throw away from the beautiful beach La Feniglia and the picturesque Porto Ercole.

Sleeps 10.
