The Best Hosts in Italy!
I was looking for a place to stay that was outside the hustle and bustle of Rome and to live more like a local for a week. I found Olive Tree Hill and from the moment I arrived, Terhi and Ivano made me feel comfortable and welcome. Ivano is extremely passionate about his country and making sure his guests are as happy as possible. They are very knowledgeable about Rome, things to do and places to see and will give you precise information if you want to explore on your own. I did a couple mini tours with Ivano and his passion and knowledge comes through. There are many awesome sites to see outside of Rome. AND, the food is fantastic! Ivano cooks up an amazing meal! The B&B is located in a quaint countryside town and the property is comfortable and beautiful. I don't know if you will find another place so passionate and caring about their guests. You won't be disappointed!

Unforgettable Experience!
All five out of five reviews couldn't be more accurate. Our plan was to enjoy an authentic Italian country setting within reasonable proximity to Rome. Not only did Olive Tree Hill fit that description perfectly, it turns out (thanks to Ivano's incredible tours), that we were within proximity of many more even better cultural opportunities. Ivano describes this perfectly in his video; Rome is amazing and offers historic scenery that shouldn't be missed. But don't miss out on all of the nearby towns that in many ways will give you a truly Italian experience. Ivano brought us on the "midnight tour" of Rome on our first day. I highly recommend this unique experience for anyone seeking something different that the typical routine tour. From there his advice was that we should decide how we would like to spend our remaining tour time, either by heading back to Rome a couple more times, or maybe consider his other destinations. We chose the latter, and are extremely happy we did. (..)
"We truly felt like we were living with our italian family! Ivano and Terhi went above and beyond to ensure that we made the most of our time! We were able to do a lot of things in our short time - visit Palestines, Rome at night, Tivoli and visited a local winery - to name a few. I would highly recommend the cooking class with Ivano. He is a remarkable chef! I not only learned how to make some new recipes the authentic italian way, but he also shared practical things like how he cans extra ingredients. We ate most of our meals with Ivano and/or Terhi. I would also recommend the midnight tour of Rome. We had previously visited Rome; however, we got a new perspective (and knowledge) going at night without the crowds! I would also recommend the visit to the local winery. We tasted some great wines, but also had the opportunity to talk with the family - father, mother and daughter! It was amazing! Would love to visit again!"
We spent 6 days in July at Olive Tree Hill, to celebrate our 30th anniversary. This is an authentic, natural experience that I cannot recommend highly enough! Situated just 30 minutes by train outside of Rome, in the lovely medieval town of Zagarolo, Olive Tree Hill is a 5-acre family property where you feel part of the family right from the start. This is the real deal - Ivano and Tehri are warm and genuine, and help you see both the real Rome (I strongly recommend the midnight tour - perfectly safe, and without crowds you can see everything from the well- lit coliseum to a tourist- free Trevi Fountain!) We also explored nearby ancient Roman ruins (Ivano will guide if you like, or will give excellent directions and rides to sites), museums, had lunch in a nearby medieval village after a day of exploration, and then enjoyed a delicious family dinner back home at Olive Tree Hill. We also got excellent advice - from where to see the best Caravaggio paintings in Rome for free, to how to identify *real* gelato. And Ivano and Tehri will tailor your experience to your interests - I would give this 10 stars if I could.
