Guest Reviews

• Gharbi (10/5): - il proprietario e sua moglie sempre disponibili e gentili
• Soile (10/5): - Isäntämme huippuluokkaa. 😘Ystävällinen ja vieraanvarainen. Kuljetukset toimivat hyvin ja pääsimme tutustumaan hänen mukanaan lähikaupunkiin Tivoliin, joka osoittautui todella mielenkiintoiseksi. Rooman historia on aina kiinnostanut, mutta Ivanon mielenkiintoiset kertomukset saivat tiedonnälän vain kasvamaan: Siis tullaan uudestaan ja kirjaston Rooma- kirjat kainalossa. Ihana oli asua maalla oliivipuiden keskellä kissojen ja koirien kanssa.🥰🐶🐱❤️ Runsas aamiainen ja hyvä ruoka 🙏 Nukuttiin aina 10 tuntia😴😴 Huoneessa sänky vähän kostea aluksi, mutta Italiassa talvi ja kosteus kuuluu kuvioihin. Ilmalämpöpumppu hoiti kosteuden pois ja jatkossa kaikki toimi hyvin. Ihana auringonkukka 🌻- huone. Kiitos 🤗
• Gabriella (10/5): Very welcoming and warm owners - My husband and I spent 2 nights here as we were working at a wedding nearby. We didn't have chance to spend too much time at the accomodation as we were working but the owner Ivano was so so kind. He helped us out so much with getting to where we needed to be and getting us to our very early train on the day we were leaving. He provided us with an amazing breakfast and we had some really interesting conversations. Ivano doesn't just treat you as just another guest, he welcomes you in like you would a friend or family member. Thank you Ivano from us 2!
• Maurizio (9/5): -
• Linda (10/5): - My partner and I had a great time at Ivanos place. We were greeted by 2 dogs and 2 cats in a beautiful landscape. Ivano, the host, took time to give us recommendations and advice for sightseeing. We learned a lot from him about Italian history as well,he is a very knowledgeable man! Our room was amazing, even nicer than expected. The room size was very generous for 2 people, and the bathroom was excellent too. A very great experience especially because the host is such a friendly and helpful person!
• Giancarlo (10/5): -
• ROBERT (10/5): -
• Regine (10/5): Vacanzetta perfetta vicino a Roma - Una fantastica, inaspettata sorpresa. Sentirti come a casa tua, ma essere in vacanza! Host gentilissimi e disponibilissimi - chiedi e ti aiuteranno a trovare e/o a procurare tutto quello che ti serve e tutto quello che ti interessa vedere e/o visitare. Posizione a "due passi" da Roma, in mezzo al verde, vicino ai laghi vulcanici - tranquillità, piscina, cibo buono e anche tanta storia e cultura (raccontata dal host stesso) per chi fosse interessato. Siamo stati con tutta la famiglia (genitori più due bambini + cane) e torneremo sicuramente presto. Nulla da dire
• Yavuz (10/5): - Great place and super helpful and kind hosts
• Sylvia (10/5): Exceptional - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this charming and serene B&B. It was a pleasure to return to the cosy, clean room and tranquil surroundings after trips to busier Rome, which is just 30min away by train. Our hosts were exceptionally warm and welcoming, with Ivano going above and beyond to make our trip seamless. He provided invaluable advice on travelling to Rome, purchasing tickets, and planning our itinerary. One highlight of our visit was the one-day trip we booked to explore Zagarolo, Lake Nemi, Castel San Pietro Romano, and Palestrina. It was an unforgettable experience, as Ivano brought the rich history and medieval architecture of these quaint towns to life with his engaging and lively storytelling. Definitely hope to visit again.
• Koen (10/5): It is a peaceful place to stay after a day in the busy streets of Rome. Perfect to go here if you travel by car. - The rooms are really cozy and the hospitality of the owners go well beyond of what you can expect. The owners give really good suggestions about what to do in Rome or in the surrounding area. The homemade juices and marmelades are really tasty. The owners both speak English very well. All rooms have airconditioning. Only 30 minutes by train from Rome. The owners will take you by car to the train station and wil pick you up when you return. A small refrigerator would be nice in the room.
• Vivek (7/5): Lovely countryside stay outside the Rome. - Hosts were excellent and helped in all possible way to plan our activities in.Rome and nearby lovely locations. We also got shuttle service to the station. Breakfast was good along with other fellow travellers. Car parking was bonus right in-front of the house. Air conditioning was great to have in summer night.
• Tina (10/5): A perfect stay. - The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. It was a taste of real Italy with meals around a large table meeting other travellers. I liked everything and the only improvement I would suggest is to provide tea and coffee making facilities in our room
• Robert (10/5): Wonderful comfortable stay with the added bonus of amazingly warm experienced hosts. - This is truly a special place. If you are looking for a 5 star hotel than this is not the place for you but if you want to experience a unique and authentic Italian welcome then you will not go wrong. Our room was rustic but large and comfortable with all facilities that you need. Breakfast was exactly what you need to start your day. Swimming pool and beautiful land to enjoy. The thing that makes this property special are the hosts Ivano and Terhi. We took advantage of a night time Rome tour which was amazing! No crowds, no heat and a wealth of information from Ivano. Ty his is something that we will remember forever, Nothing
• Sharon (10/5): Simple and rustic, clean and a hop on a train to Rome city. Fabulous family who run the b&b…and I mean fabulous. - It’s a rustic gem in the countryside, 20 minutes out of city Rome by train while still in the Rome region within Larson. You get to see the city and also the Italian countryside close up. The rooms are simple but spotless and comfortable at an excellent price point. The owners are amazing. Ivano for his passion and patience. He is an amazing cook and a historian from the heart, not just the head. His insights into his own area is incredible, given that the wealthy of old used to live in the higher regions like theirs as they were easier to defend. So this places are as interesting and important as much as the city of Rome and it’s lovely to enjoy the authentic feel of Zagarola. The town itself is one street wide in places and 2 streets wide in places with a drop on either side. Cobble stones and wash baths of old. It’s an experience. Go to the icecream parlour and order the flavours you wont find anywhere else! Terhi is the wife! She is quiet and lovely and friendly. She also has a wealth of knowledge and they are a great team. Kind and patient and lovely. It extends to their nephew Marco and their very polite children. Ivano offers tours of Rome at night which I have heard first hand are magical. He’ll do tours more close to home and also gives cookery classes. He’ll pick and drop you to the train and you can eat dinner there too. It’s a wonderful experience to share with fellow guests: Ivano fabulous food and a drop of wine. I have read some reviews and having been, I reread some today on the train and I had a laugh. So I might put my insights into it: firstly, as we all know, when the vaste majority of people are saying excellent and there’s just a couple of people not so impressed it is usually one of 3 things: something happened as humans or there’s a cranky person or a misunderstanding. Notably it’s a small minority of Italian contingent for some reason. So here goes: the breakfast..this is actually something I think that I didn’t understand myself. That I was sick and missed out on activities though they tried so so hard to still accommodate where possible and were so kind when I had to cancel as I sent a photo of my meds before I arrived. I drove them nuts thinking I’d push through and then couldn’t. And all they were was kind.
• Michele (8/5): - Posto tranquillo immerso nel verde
• Louise (9/5): An ideal location for sight seeing Rome and the surrounding area - Very quiet location, Ivano and Terhi are perfect hosts with a wealth of knowledge about Rome and the local area. They also both speak English well. The accommodation is comfortable. rustic in style. We took advantage of the nighttime tour of Rome that Ivano offered - seeing the sights without the crowds, queues and heat of the day and the benefit of Ivano’s guidance and knowledge - excellent. https://olivetreehill.com/
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - Olive Tree Hill is the place to choose if you want to visit Rome and then relax in the wonderful countryside of the roman outskirts. The residence is well connected by trains and just 30 minutes away from Roma Termini, from where you can choose to travel to any other destination. The hosts, Terhi, Ivano and Marco were very cordial and always ready to help with anything we needed. I highly recommend a stay at this heavenly place and would love to return in the future. There is a small walk to the train station which is usually unpleasant after a day of sightseeing. However the hosts do offer a shuttle service at a very reasonable cost.
• Etienne (8/5): Very good - The many recommendations for excellent restaurants, a and beautiful things to see
• David (4/5): Disappointing - The staff were very pleasant Booked our stay because they have a restaurant on site. When we arrived and wanted to eat at said restaurant it was just a member of staff that cooked sometimes. After a long drive it is very inconvenient to then have to drive out again to get an evening meal. The room we booked was a superior king room but what we got was pretty basic, small and the shower was to dark to use.
• Francesco (2/5): - The owner sent us several messages during the day of check-in to notify us that due to other cancellations he had to relocate us in a different room. The final room assignment was at a different address than the one listed on Expedia. The premises are in a very remote location that could only be accessed through a rough bumpy road. The room was in a house shared by other guests. The cooking smells coming from the shared kitchen were unbearable. The bedroom was very outdated and the sliding door bedroom lock made us feel unsafe as it could have been easily broken into. The surrounding area is beautiful, despite the pool, which looks more like a kids' paddling pool.
• Daniela (9/5): Superb -
• Georg (9/5): Superb - I got upgraded from the booked double room to the cottage. I loved the location in the olive grove and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the tranquility.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Lovely people rooms a bit dated
• Andrea (10/5): It was definitely a great stay and we are sure that we will return whenever we have to spend time in - We liked the cleanliness of the room, the company and kindness of Ivano and his wife Terhi, the breakfast with their jams, the welcome they reserved for us and our dog, the chat around the table under the tree of mulberry. It was a truly beautiful stay. We can't find fault with our stay at Olive Tree Hill.
• B&C (10/5): - Ivano and Tehri take good care of their guests to ensure that they have the best Italian experience possible. We have stayed with them three times and have always enjoyed our visits. They provide great tours to places that the average tourist never gets to take. They make you feel at home even though you are half a world away.
• Chris (10/5): - They make your stay so personal you feel like you are at home even though you are thousands of miles away. Do not miss out on the evening meal experience. Rome is literally a stones throw away. These people are so nice. Listen to what they say on what to see and do.
