The story of Residence Olmi has its roots in the 1960s, when Mirta and Aladino (the grandparents), young and full of enthusiasm, almost single-handedly built what would become not only their home but a point of reference for friends and guests. Around them, their daughters Eliana and Doriana played among the buckets of mortar and wooden planks as the house gradually took shape.
It was 1966 when two German girls, arriving on an adventure on the Island, knocked on the door asking for hospitality. It was a simple, almost casual gesture, but one that forever changed the family’s destiny: from that first rented room began an activity that would expand along with the house.
Over the years, the spaces have grown, many people, who later became friends, have come and gone, and evenings spent together – with Aladino’s wine, laughter, and long chats – have become an indispensable habit. While Aladino tended to the gardens and vineyards surrounding the house, often helped by curious guests, Mirta lovingly cared for the garden and handled the hospitality.

Then came Ylenia and Emanuele, the third generation, growing up among the fields, the cellar, and playing with the young guests of the apartments, just as their mother and aunt had done as children. As they grew, the two siblings began to help their grandparents and parents in managing the property, until, with the grandfather’s passing and the grandmother’s aging, they took over, continuing the same convivial atmosphere they had grown up with, happy to share their beloved place.
Then, the kids grew up, and work took them away from the island, entrusting the management to an agency for a while. But the story, in the end, never really stopped… and it’s right here that it reconnects to the initial tale.

Our dream is to return to the roots, cultivate fruits and vegetables to offer our guests, share with them the care of the land, and celebrate under the stars, meeting new people who become family… adding some new features that we’ll soon reveal!
