Casa Oleandra is a spacious, bright and superbly comfortable Italian Country House with delightful views of the Sibillini Mountains, the pretty village of Gualdo, (di Macerata) and the surrounding rolling hills of Le Marche.
Whether it be having fun in our beautiful 12m x 6m Private Salt Water Swimming Pool with a diving board, or sipping prosecco on the roof terrace, alfresco dining at the table by the pool or on the portico outside the kitchen, perhaps just relaxing under the shade of the large portico on the comfortable seating, Casa Oleandra is the perfect place for your holiday. Our villa provides excellent privacy both inside and out.
Set at the end of a local white gravel road, this is the perfect place for you, your family and friends to truly relax and enjoy your holiday in the magical real Italy of Le Marche.
Internally the villa has a combination of modern and traditional with exposed stone and brick walls on the ground floor and high end modern finishes to the 4 bathrooms including a Sunken Bath and Unique Step-Down Shower.
Casa Oleandra is situated just 2.5 kms from the medieval hilltop village of Gualdo, with its spectacular views of the area, a small weekly market and shops for your everyday needs.

Gualdo also has a restaurant 'L'Angolo di Sara' where you can enjoy good quality local food, pizzas and specialities of the house. There are many more restaurants in the surrounding area. Or if you would like something special, personal and private we can arrange for a Private Chef to come to the house and cook a four course meal to suit yourselves, this has been well received by previous guests.
