We had a great time in this beautiful house, with huge sitting area and a fantastic swimming pool which is perfect for staying cool on hot days. There are many beautiful towns and places to see not far from the house. However, the house was so nice that we spent most of the time in the swimming pool and garden. The owner is really helpful and welcoming.

We had a lovely time i San Vito. Mum, dad, 4 “kids” (ages 11-26). Plenty of room for all, and the pool was absolutely perfect as we had 38˚C all week. House has splendid views (even better than pictures) and has all necessary suppliances. Take note, use of A/C is not unlimited, so we had a minor extra charge. Excellent communication uptil and during the stay. Mario in nearby San Vito village-square delivered perfect service. Highly recommended.

In august/september 2022 we had a great vacation in The Old Olive Tree. The house is beautiful and well equipped with plenty of room for the family. The garden (oriented on the south) is nice and big, offering shade and sunshine. The large p;ool is fantastic for a cool-down and fun. The BBQ and outside dining space are perfect. The staff maintaining the house (Mario for the garden and pool (daily) and Meri for the linen) do a great job and are efficient. We didn't see Mario as he did his work very early. Mario (another) of the pub in San Vito showed us around in the house to get acquainted. Friendly guy - visit his pub for a cool beer and enjoy the view from his terrace. San Vito is very small - a walk around the fortress is recommended.. The surroundings are worthwhile to visit. Narni (25 min. by car), Terni (cascade - check on opening hours!, Otricoli (15 min. by car, visit the Romain excavation!) are nice towns . Supermarkets are closeby (Narni - LIDL) and Otricoli (Hurray). In Otricoli is a great Italian restaurant. And we were even treated on a nightly medieval spectacle to celebrate the rivalry between San Vito and the neighbouring village of Guademelo. For electric car ownerss - can be charged in Narni and Otricoli,

My family and I chose to rent this villa based on three key points - close proximity to an airport, peace and tranquillity and, most importantly, the size of the swimming pool. Not being a family who enjoy the buzz of busy, popular holiday resorts we were really looking forward to enjoying a couple of weeks away from normal life and were delighted that this property delivered on all counts. Yes - there were niggles but there always will be when you are away from your home environment and this seems to add to the overall holiday experience. There was no kettle, for example ( yes - we are British!) so water for cups of tea had to be heated in a saucepan. The upstairs shower had enough power and heat to cut through solid steel so constant, very careful, adjustment was needed and the traffic noise from the motorway in the valley did permeate the silence. But these are small insignificancies. In the detailed information provided by the owner, Isabel, she mentions that the property is in need of updates etc but this was / still is a family home. As such you can forgive the fact that some of the appliances are getting a bit tired. Everything worked – that’s all you need!The pool, at 13m in length, was superb! Our family’s un-written rule is that you have to do your age in lengths every day. Of course this does mean that the oldest member (me) has to swim the furthest but as I made the rule up I cant complain! I wasnt brave enough to dive off the diving board though...There are enough chairs on the veranda to accommodate a small army and we spent most evenings sitting out drinking wine and enjoying the evening warmth. We were also treated to a number of brilliant lightning storms in the first week of our stay which was fabulous.The property is well within one hours drive of the delightful towns of Narni and Terni which are well worth visiting and it only takes 40 minutes to get into Rome by train from Orte station, which has a huge, cheap, long-stay car park. It only cost us 10 Euros each for a return trip and saved hours of driving and trying to park in the city. If you are looking for 5 star hotel style accommodation then this is not the place for you. If, however, you are looking for 5 star relaxation in a property that has everything you would need for a break away from the norm then we would thoroughly recommend this property.
