YOUR HOST:
Hosting is not just my job; it's my passion.
I started hosting about 10 years ago and also rent out a lovely sea-view apartment in Ortigia (https://t.vrbo.io/BHgEjZ3AeVb ).
I truly enjoy living in this part of the world and love sharing my favourite places with friends and guests.
In the property, you will find books and guides about the area. If you want to experience life as a local, I will be happy to suggest places to see, activities to do, and where to eat!

I live with my husband and our dog, Leo, in an adjacent house.
Although Leo is friendly and quiet, he does not have access to the guest area.
The gardens are divided by a tall wooden privacy fence, and guests have exclusive access to Olivella Country House and its amenities, including the swimming pool and the garden.
Your comfort and privacy are our top priorities!
The entrance gate and the spacious parking area are shared with the host's property.

CITY TAX:
