La casa è veramente molto bella sia esternamente che internamente. Arredata con gusto e raffinatezza risponde esattamente alle necessità di una vacanza che si ricorderà con piacere.

One week at Olvio Living by the Sea

We stayed in Olvio one week in the period 12-19 August. We found a very nice apartment, well furnished, very clean and with all facilities. Our vacation was very nice and Anna and Cristiana were very kind and helpful giving us all the information to visit the northern part of the island as well as suggestions of taverns to taste local food.

My aim is to warmly welcome my guests and create a cosy and relaxing atmosphere. The furniture, equipment and decoration are selected with extra care to provide you with luxury and comfort. I will be happy to welcome you soon in our special place!

Sami is a historic village and Olvio is one of the oldest houses. I love this place and I would really like to share this feeling with my guests!

What makes this property unique
