This is a rustic gem in the heart of the Roman country side and yet only 20 minutes by train to Rome central. Zagarola center and the train station are both a ramble from the premises for those of us who like a walk. Getting a lift to and from the station is never a problem. I had a double room which was simple but very clean and comfortable. Although I was sick for my stay, chopped and changed things accordingly, Ivano and Terhi were so patient and kind. The tour and lunch we did was local and amazing. Different to an experience of Rome and the joy here is being able to have both, pop into Rome in 20 mins and live like a local in the beautiful countryside, overlooking Rome. Even the train out is a joy, scenerywise. But it’s the kind hospitality that makes Olive Tree Hill different. Warm and gentle hospitality in abundance. Amazing food and lovely company, with other guests or with Terhi and Ivano, it is always full of comradery and fun. As a solo traveller, it was serenity when I needed and fun company when I needed that too. I learned loads cookingwise. If you book the excursions with Ivano, they are not just interesting and knowable but they are passionate, local and sometimes places where you would otherwise never have found yourself. It was a joy. I was only sorry I couldn’t participate more and so I have to go back for my night tour of Rome and my big cooking class. Ivano, the list of cooking wishes can only get longer with time! Marco, couldn’t write this without saying what a pleasure it was and how kind of you to facilitate our tour at a moment’s notice. Just a lovely, warm family extending their unique hospitality in their idyllic country setting.
