The ancient "Poggio Oliveto" farm rises inside the green
heart of the Maremma hills.The estate, built during
the sixteenth century thanks to the Venturi family from
Roccastrada, knew its greatest splendour around 1800,
when the Gherardesca Counts turned it into a little
town inhabited by many families. "Poggio Oliveto", including
its 115 hectares of surrounding land, has been owned
by the Curatolo family since 1982. Not only the belongers
to Curatolo family have taken care of the restructuring
and the improvement of the most important structures,
but they have also gone back to farming according to
productive systems which are advanced even from an environmental
point of view; thanks to these activities, the Curatolo
family has brought the farm back to its ancient splendour.

Inside the "borgo" (village), which has been fully
restored, there is a typical "horseshoe bat" like farmhouse
turned into living structure and meant for the farm's
owners and guests.
An oil stonemill (still used for the extra-virgin oil
production), a little church fully conserving its original
thin structure, and an ancient octagonal well are annexed
to the farmhouse. The farm is the ideal place for holidays
rich in colours, scents and genuine flavours in a harmonious
and quiet atmosphere. Everything has been made respecting
the place's traditions. The confidential landowners'
hospitality, together with the several comforts, make
nowadays "Poggio Uliveto" the ideal place to spend a
pleasant and quiet holiday, surrounded by the nature.
