Frantoio del Bartolomei

The Frantoio a Tuscan Olive Mill

A building with ancient origins, extensively restored in 2015 to a high standard combining original architectural features with all the modern conveniences of a 21st century luxury property. This charming and unique home is in the Compitese hills, a beautiful region between Lucca and Pisa renowned for producing one of the finest Italian olive oils.

The Frantoio is an old olive mill, for around 160 years it was one of the main employers for the local villagers, men were employed to build dry stone walls along the olive terraces, cut back grass and weeds by hand, prune and care for the olive plants and then at harvest time men, women and children picked the olives and prepared them ready for the pressing. The building and olive groves were sadly abandoned in the 60's and 70's, brambles and vegetation took over the land. In the 1990's the building was initially restored, over time the land has gradually been brought back to life and now the olive plants are thriving once again. In late October/November we harvest the olives by hand in the traditional way to make our own special extra virgin olive oil. This Spring we planted 500 vines to create a new vineyard and we are looking forward to our very own wine in a few years time.

The Frantoio has recently been extensively renovated and refurbished into a unique and stylish home. It is a perfect place for a luxurious and relaxing holiday. You can enjoy walking on some of the paths which lead directly from our doorstep through olive groves and woodland to the nearby village of Castelvecchio di Compito (10 min walk) and over the hills to Buti (7km walk), a hill village with shops and restaurants. Bientina, a small town just a few minutes drive away has full amenities including supermarket, shops, restaurants, banks, weekly market, antiques market (monthly) and in July the town holds a palio (ba****ck horse race) in the main square. We are ideally situated for sightseeing as Lucca is only 20 minutes away, the nearest autostrada exit in Altopascio is a 10 minute drive and Pisa and Florence are 30 and 45 minutes or you can avoid city driving by taking the train from Pontedera our nearest train station (15 mins).
