L'Aquila e L'Ulivo

The property is fabulous. Stunning views, great breakfast, fresh Tuscany air, wonderful hosts, wonderful outdoor space to sit and relax, and fun with the animals.

Excellent hosts. Wonderful farm animals that roamed free. Very peaceful and relaxing stay. Our hosts recommended some excellent restaurants and towns to visit. We stayed for 6 nights and we wished we could have stayed longer. Perfect place to relax!

Friendly, attentive hosts, beautiful scenery, cute animals, delicious breakfast, comfy, spacious accomosation

The hosts are very welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The farm they created is wonderful--one of its kind. Its atmosphere felt peaceful and tranquil. We liked to watch the many animals (cats, dogs, horses, eagles, owls, hens) on the farm. Joining Monica and Paolo fly their eagles outside was special. Meandering through the farm's terraces with olive trees made us feel at ease. Breakfast prepared by the hosts was delicious. Paolo's almond cake was amazing. We loved to talk with our hosts during breakfast about our lives and theirs, and travelling the world. The large clean pool is pleasant to swim in. From this farm, it is easy to visit by car several sights that are nearby. We are keeping fond memories from our stay. And hope to return.

everything!

nothing, everything was perfect

It was amazing! We felt so welcome. It truly felt like home. A perfect farm type of stay. We were there just for a night. Wish we could stay longer.

Like living in a postcard. Amazing location in Val d’Orcia. We were living in the Eagle lodge, even when hot outside we didn’t use the ac, it was just natural fresh. Really cool and homey interior, comfortable bed, fridge and freezer, and a proper shower, which for us is important. We had breakfast (typical Italian with homemade cakes) and aperitivo with the family and other guests at the common dinner area. Both Monica and Paolo are both amazing people, those you feel are friends immediately, and are always there to make your stay as good as possible. Then there is the rest of the family, two beautiful and super friendly dogs, a bunch of cats and of course…the totally amazing birds :) Two owls and 4 eagles and you will be able to see them fly in the wild, maybe even have them on your arm, a real memory for life. It’s impossible to make this place justice with only writing, you need to experience it!

Really can’t find anything bad about this place!

This is such a fantastic place to stay that I didn't want to leave! A beautiful farm in the Tuscan countryside, with stunning views as far as the eye can see. The room was lovely, and huge! It was well equipped, and mixed modern and historic features in a clever way. We were just a few minutes away from some amazing places, but we also got an amazing experience on the farm with owners Monica and Paulo. They are friendly, welcoming, and inspiring. We loved getting to know them and their wonderful animals. Getting to meet Monica's birds was an amazing experience, and having the dogs, cats, and chickens greet us each morning put such a smile on my face. I would go back again and again, and cannot recommend it enough.

What Monica and Paolo have created at L’Aqua e L’Ulivo is truly special. We loved getting to know Monica’s birds during a walk in the woods, and the rest of the furry family at breakfast each morning with a delicious meal prepared by Paolo! The apartment itself was very comfortable & spacious. High ceilings. Large couch. Modern bathroom. Strong wifi. A handful of board games & books. Tasteful Tuscan design in which traditional meets modern. We didn’t cook during our short stay, but it appeared the kitchenette had all essentials needed for light meals. Including complimentary soft drinks & wine for purchase. If you’re thinking about booking here, do it!
