Villa degli Ulivi 8, Emma Villas Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Villa degli Ulivi 8, Emma Villas? It’s one of those places that actually lives up to its name – I mean, the olive trees surrounding the property aren’t just decorative, they’re the real deal, ancient and gnarled in that way that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled into a Tuscan postcard. The villa sits in this incredibly peaceful spot where you can hear the wind rustling through those silver-green leaves, especially in the early morning when the rest of the world hasn’t woken up yet.

The place has this wonderful lived-in quality that’s hard to find in a lot of vacation rentals these days. When I walked through the main entrance, I immediately noticed the terracotta floors – they’re clearly original and have that slightly uneven texture that comes from decades of use. The furniture strikes this perfect balance between authentic Italian charm and actual comfort (trust me, I’ve stayed in places where the antique chairs look gorgeous but leave your back aching). The kitchen is surprisingly well-equipped too – I was expecting the usual basic setup, but there’s everything you need if you want to cook with ingredients from the local markets. And honestly, with the way Italian tomatoes taste, you’ll want to spend at least one evening making a simple pasta dish on that beautiful stone countertop.

What really sets this villa apart, though, is the outdoor space. The terrace wraps around a good portion of the building, giving you different spots to escape to depending on your mood and the time of day. I found myself gravitating toward the shaded area near the olive grove during the afternoon heat – there’s something almost meditative about watching the light filter through those branches while you’re nursing an Aperol Spritz. The pool area is well-maintained without being overly manicured (you know that sterile resort feeling I’m talking about), and the water temperature was perfect during my stay in late spring. Parking is straightforward, which might sound like a minor detail but becomes pretty important when you’re navigating narrow Italian country roads with a rental car. The 4-star rating feels spot-on – it’s comfortable and well-appointed without trying too hard to impress you with unnecessary luxury touches. That 8.0 rating from other guests makes sense too; this is the kind of place that delivers exactly what it promises, with those little unexpected pleasures that make a trip memorable.

Best hotels in Verona range from luxurious properties in the historic city center to boutique hotels with stunning views of the Adige River and ancient Roman amphitheater.
