The Best of Italy
Paolo, the owner & manager of Villa Degli Ulivi was a joy to meet. He was attentive to our every need & more. The Villa has been updated, is spotlessly clean, in a wonderfully convenient location and has a great view. We didn’t have a car but restaurants, bars, shops & supermarkets were within a short walk…and Portofino and Cinque Terre are easy accessible by private taxi which Paolo recommended. Our party of 6 adults all highly recommend him & his Villa.

Book this village already!
Our family was throughly impressed with Paolo and his villa. Arriving at the villa, we instantly know that our stay would be great. The place is better in actuality than all pictures we saw, and Paolo was a great host. We have everything we need for a comfortable stay; we travel all over the world and I say that this village is the best accomodation we had stayed at! Thank you Paolo for a wonderful time we experienced while staying at your villa.
