| Description |
|
| L'Oliveto is a private olive oil producing estate surrounded by approximately 40 hectares of olive groves and woodland. Situated in a panoramic position, L'Oliveto can be located on an unsurfaced road 15 minutes drive from the famous Chianti medieval town of Radda. The owners offer guests hospitality in two detached converted stone built cottages renovated to excellent standards. Very early booking is advised for these highly desirable properties and we are happy to accept bookings on behalf of the owners one or two years in advance. The barn and the L'Oliveto's special olive oil have recently featured in the magazine ‘Food Illustrated’ and The Sunday Times Travel Section. Copies of these articles are available from us on request. |
