Before we dive into the details, could you briefly introduce yourself?

My name is Silvia, I am 40 years old, and I live in Pescara in a small house overlooking the sea with my husband, Maurizio, and our three children, Lorenzo, Linda, and Luigi. Just a few kilometers away, in Spoltore, lives my mother, Rosa.

We would love to share a bit about you as a person with our customers. Would you like to tell us more about yourself?

My interests, free time activities, work, family, holidays I love traveling and experiencing places in an authentic way, connecting with the people who live there and immersing myself in their culture. For me, a journey is not just about seeing new places but about understanding different ways of life and sharing meaningful moments. I practice yoga and seek activities that help me connect with myself. My family is at the heart of everything I do—I take care of my children and guide them through their activities, encouraging them to explore what they love and what truly makes them happy.

When and in what way did this property come into your life and what motivated you to make it a part of your life?

In 2009, my parents bought six hectares of land and built a beautiful house surrounded by nature. Our land is filled with ancient olive trees, but also fruit trees, making each season special with their colors and scents. After my father passed away in 2011, my mother, an architect, found the strength—thanks to the support of a dear friend—to open the house to people, turning it into a place of hospitality and connection. Today, alongside her, I continue this journey with Casa Oliveto, welcoming guests from around the world and offering them an authentic experience in the Abruzzo countryside. My brother Tommaso, who lives in Milan, has always believed in this dream with us. Casa Oliveto is, at heart, a house of women—strong, welcoming, and always ready to share the beauty of our land.

Casa Oliveto is not just a house; it is the result of years of passion, vision, and love for beauty and authenticity.
