What readers say about this series?
Unexpectedly absorbing!
A wonderful, humorous read
Stressful, Clueless, but Entertaining
Quite the Adventure!
A Witty Journey of Transformation
It's funny, cringe-worthy, and brave!
"When I started this book I thought it was going to be another good life tail, wrong! It is a "warts and all" telling of this couples start in a life that they were ill prepared for."
"A most entertaining book. I enjoyed her earlier book The Crinkle Crankle Wall, but enjoyed A Hoopoe on the Nisper Tree one even more. She writes with a lively good humour whilst telling it ‘how it is’ - if you’ve ever thought of escaping to rural Spain and setting up an accommodation business be sure to read this book first. Am looking forward to her next book already."
"This is an incredibly entertaining read and, if like me, you are a fan of Driving Over Lemons by Chris Stewart you will absolutely love this book."
"I felt like I was visiting an old friend since I read and enjoyed the previous book. Charming, interesting, well written. I felt like I was there with her…."
"For all you lovers of programmes like Grand Designs, A Place in the Sun, DIY SOS etc….this is for You!!"
After renovating a dilapidated Andalusian cottage and transforming it into a guest house, Robert and Sabina face a new set of challenges. As they continue to uncover the pros and pitfalls of hospitality, they realize that they need to do more to establish roots in their new community before they feel truly at home.
During this transition period, they travel between Andalusia and the Middle East, in an effort to decide whether the idea of living among the olive groves is sustainable or whether they need to reconsider their life path and return to their old lives in the Gulf. Not having steady jobs means that financial worries are always on the horizon.
In this third instalment of the New Life in Andalusia series, we find Robert and Sabina at a crossroads. As they contemplate their future, they continue to discover this beautiful part of the world and deepen their friendships and relationships with their neighbours.
A perfect read for the fans of Driving Over Lemons, Under the Tuscan Sun, A Year in Provence, and A Rosie Life in Italy

Really enjoyed it, another excellent book!
I’ve read both of the two previous books in this series of memoirs about moving to Andalusia, Spain, and loved them. I really enjoyed this one too, another excellent book.
It’s January 2018 at the start of this book. It had been almost four years since Sabina and Robert had moved from Abu Dhabi to Spain. They didn't have steady jobs now-they were just relying on the rental income from guests. Robert had gone to work in Oman to help a former student set up a private school, and Sabina was looking for ways to earn something to supplement their income. She's been approx. 10 months on her own, doing all the rental work, and now Robert won't have to keep travelling to Oman to earn money, if she can get this job, and some regular income.
Then it goes back to 7 months ago-where Robert had been in Oman, and she's been single-handedly running their rental business for their paying guests-managing this with a broken arm from a fall etc. With all that background info set, the book starts just a few weeks after she has had her cast removed. Their Cortijo has had a few excellent reviews in their first season of guests, this is the second season, and regular bookings are now coming in. Having previously renovated the guest apartments, now they're wanting to 'do up' their own living space. She talks about foods, hurdles, setbacks, and awkward customers. They have so much on, so they have some Workaways to help lighten the load.
I love her humour, I often laughed, sniggered, and chuckled. Her delivery is so brilliantly timed, with sometimes sarcastic humour. She says such funny things, and has an amusing way of putting things.
Another lovely, easy to read book. All the books have absolutely beautiful covers, and lovely colour artwork at chapter beginnings. This series is so enjoyable. I'm disappointed-now I've finished this, I'm going to have to wait again until she writes the next book. So easy to read, down to earth, amusing.
Oh, fabulous! At the end of this, she mentions that her next book is already planned, and has a title, and another lovely cover. Can’t wait!

What a wonderfully entertaining and well written series this is. I just love Sabina's quirky sense of humour, at times it makes me laugh out loud. She can make major setbacks sound amusing when they most certainly were not. She and her husband have now been in Andalucía for four years, Robert is working in Oman for a time to earn a bit more money. Sabina is on her own coping with the daily running of their rental property. Despite some really dodgy guests the couple are determined to make a success of it and to build their life there.
I found this to be a more reflective book as she looks back to when she first started teaching and to time spent in the Middle East when dissatisfaction with their way of life prompted the complete change to their life to start over in Spain.
It's a fascinating read and each chapter is headed up with the most beautiful artwork. I would have them framed and on display. I greatly admire their bravery and determination - and their wackiness too! I loved the ending as Sabina is about to start yet another new venture. I can't wait to read all about it.

I just loved the author's sense of humour and her quirky solutions to unexpected obstacles along the way to her and her husband's dream life.
Olive Leaf Tea: Time to settle, is a refreshing account of re-establishing a new life in a foreign country. The language barrier provides ample laugh-out-loud moments, along with a focus and determination to make their new life work. From interesting neighbours and friends, to unexpected weather events, Olive Leaf Tea provides the perfect backdrop for an afternoon of reading entertainment.
Highly recommended.

"Olive Leaf Tea" takes us on a journey through hospitality and culinary surprises from Portugal to Saudi Arabia. If you thought that you had signed up for a glimpse of sunny Andalucía, don’t worry. Eventually, we will get to cozy 'Cortijo Berruguilla', but not before Sabina Ostrowska has warned us of mountain blizzards, blistering droughts, and wackadoddle neighbors and colleagues. Those folks make the elderly women chatting in the local 'panadería' seem very normal and familiar.
Some of the diversions towards the vision of a self-sustaining home, hydroponic farm cum olive grove, and five-star Bed and Breakfast include the magnet that is the Arabian Peninsula, which is a means to finance the Andalusian dream. These detours include Ms. Ostrowska’s drive along the Saudi/Emirati border alone for most of a day before stumbling onto a friendly Emirati police patrol that leads her to the correct road to Liwa. In Oman she and her husband vacation on Masirah Island, camping, fishing, snorkeling and avoiding sharks. The pièce de resistance is a book presentation in Riyadh, capital of Saudi Arabia. The culinary delights pile up and astound.
Olive Leaf Tea is not a quick trip to explore Dubai’s malls and beaches. You are introduced to characters who are quirky and unforgettable. Intermingled throughout those detours into the Arabian Peninsula, we are treated to the views of expat life in the Iberian Peninsula, with numerous glasses of cava raised along the route. 'Salud!'

Having already read the first two books in this series, I was looking forward to this latest installment. Olive Leaf Tea exceeded my expectations: this travel memoir is a rollicking ride through Spanish countryside and diversions off to other places familiar to earlier readers, in the Middle East. Previous reviews have already given a synopsis of the story, so I will focus only on why I enjoy these books so much.
The writer has a keen eye and is an unflinching truth teller. Such qualities make for witty and sometimes unflattering tales of people who come into Ostrowska’s orbit. The tales are funny, but never mean, and the author and her husband come in for some honest self-criticism themselves. The characters who are always portrayed sympathetically are the stolid and pragmatic Spanish neighbors and the equally helpful folk in the nearest town. And that is how it should be: make fun of yourself and of your acquaintances when they deserve it, but be appreciative of the people for whom this beautiful part of Spain have always called home.
Another thread that connects these books is food. Glorious food falling from trees in the orchard, casually put-together feasts for friends and guests, seeking out elusive fresh seafood in beach resorts, these are all images that further color the life that Ostrowska so vividly paints.
Bring on Book Four, please!

Having read and loved Sabrina’s two previous books, I was really looking forward to reading this book and it didn’t disappoint , I loved it.
The book begins with Sabina being stuck in her car in a blizzard waiting for Robert to come and rescue her, snow being almost unheard of in Andalusia,
It’s now four years since they moved to Andalusia, Robert is away in Onan working, to help with finances and Sabina is alone, running the house and business. Life is never straightforward, from various guest issues, pool problems, language difficulties and loneliness,as well as the happy, fun and friend filled times, Sabina describes life so well that it’s as if you’re there with her, through it all.
I particularly enjoyed the part where Sabina writes about her time as a primary school teacher, as someone who has also worked with children and I could understand so well her feelings and sentiments.
The whole book is so enjoyable that I’m now eagerly awaiting the next one, and looking forward to reading about the next chapter of their lives in Andalusia.

Fun in the (Andalusian) Countryside
I have now read all three of Sabina Ostrowska’s books about her and husband’s move from Middle East to Andalucia, Spain and each one only gets better! Her writing matures, her descriptions are richer, and her sly yet funny comments get sharper and more amusing. “Olive Tree Tea” is a winner.
Sabina has a wonderful sense of humor which lightens even the most stressing of the renovations and leaves the reader laughing and hoping for more (and how do you laugh at the possibility of hosting guests with no water?). Her anecdotes about the visits of her family, interactions with her neighbors and her employer in a local school, and the idiosyncratic guests who come to stay (and pay) left me shaking my head.
I can’t wait for a further set of adventures of her life in Andalusia and wherever else life takes her. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes books about travel, relationships, home reno, and ex-pat life with a twist.

I've read Sabina Ostrowska's previous book and thoroughly enjoyed reading about how she prepared her guest apartments in the challenging environment of her Andalusian rural home. In this book, we meet the guests, many of whom provide extreme challenges too. Sabina also spends some time looking back to her former life in the Middle East, which helps to explain why she and her husband Robert were so motivated to make their home in Spain. The middle-eastern ties are not completely broken, though, and this book combines Sabina's experiences in both worlds.
I love her acerbic wit and her no-nonsense approach. She is funny, critical, quirky and cool; she loves animals and not children and she doesn't suffer fools gladly but is evidently a loyal and devoted friend. I laughed and learnt a lot from this memoir and would love to have a glass of wine and a chat with Sabina. I think I'd be crying tears of laughter. I won this book as a prize, but will definitely be buying the next one.

I was lucky enough to proofread this book and can highly recommend it!
The final book in Sabina Ostrowska’s trilogy will not disappoint those who have read the previous installments.
Filled with humorous escapades which had me laughing out loud as well as a few poignant and moving stories, such as the story of a family portrait ruined by its artist as he slipped into dementia and the frustration caused by builders and the failure of their water tank, the reader is taken on a rollercoaster ride of emotions.
There are occasional flashback chapters to the author’s time spent living in Saudi which are interesting and I found the perspective of a western woman having to wear an abaya when visiting Riyadh for work fascinating.

This book carries on where book two left off, with Sabina alone at home in Andalusia while Robert is working abroad to boost their finances. She doesn't want this way of life to continue, so this is a book of contemplating change. But we are still treated to Sabina's dry wit, and her deft character sketches of their friends and paying guests. I do sympathize with her Millenials experiences! We also get to experience travel to Oman and Saudi Arabia, with their very different cultures. One of the highlights of Sabina's books for me, is the beautiful artwork, done by the author, which heads every chapter. Sabina is a very talented lady in many fields. I loved this book, and am delighted to hear that there will be a fourth book published next year. I will be waiting very impatiently.

Having really enjoyed the earlier books in this series, I was keen to discover how Sabina and her husband were getting along in their new life. Hardships and struggles continue, but now they are making greater progress with the holiday rental business and also making headway in the locality by socialising more and trying to integrate. A lack of Spanish means they mix more with ex-pats but Sabina, through financial necessity enters a language school and begins to have dreams of running her own one day. To discover whether such an idea can develop or not, you must read the book. This hard-working couple appear to combine being sensible with moments of spontaneity and risk-taking. All in all, a lovely read!
September 18, 2024
The series is interesting I read all three. By the end of the first I was troubled by the narrator. My only hope is she made up a character to portray herself because she's a horrible human being. She absolutely has nothing nice to say about anyone, any country, any language, any religion. She refuses to listen to good advice or basically any advice. Not to mention, she might have a drinking problem. Honestly the books are fine and I found them interesting, but she's dreadful, just dreadful. I'm hoping she's not like that in real life. If she is she should never be running a guest house. She kind of hates other people -all of them
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Hmmm having read and enjoyed Sabina’s previous books I was surprised to find her depictions of ‘friends’, guests, acquaintances to be very critical.. Sabina found flaws to judge in almost every person she introduced into the story. Not just people but also circumstances. Even food was picked apart. Hard to find anything positive. I found Sabina’s attitude in this book to be a glass half empty.
The experiences in her relating episodes in Saudi Arabia felt like padding out the story.
This book was described as humorous I disagree.
Let’s hope the next book improves.

Andalusia is a place I have always wanted to go, not to live there and have the exciting/funny/good neighbors but because that is where they have the most amazing horses. But Sabina’s books are so good and she writes them with a lot of humor. It is amazing how friendly the neighbors are and what they do for each other. It is going to be tough waiting for the next book, she always makes me want the story to continue instead of waiting for the next book, Thanks Sabina for your enjoyable books.

Another good read by this author
This is the third book that I have read by t
this author I love her writing. I identify with her constantly and just wish I
was as funny.pr
I have read a great many.books about couples who give
Up everything to start a new life in Europe. Sabina Ostrowka's are by far the best. It is very humbling by that she writes much better English than most English writers.

I have read Sabina's first two books in this series and thoroughly enjoyed them both, this one was no exception. I love Sabina's stoic humor no matter what goes wrong, as we continue her and Roberts adventures in both Andalusia and the Arabian peninsula. The stories of tricky guests to their cortijo, renovations and the interesting Spanish neighbors are what brings the story alive for me, all set in exotic landscapes. Marvelous escapism, and a solid 5 stars.
March 5, 2025
Having finished this, the third in the series, I am looking forward to book four. For part of this one I despaired for the author and her husband to finally get to live out their dream in Andalusia together, and that was after they mostly solved the problem the drought caused. They certainly had some challenges. I really enjoyed the pictures and the art and I’m glad things turned out the way they did, and looking forward to more of the story after ‘settled’.

Exactly my cuppa tea
Bobby’s antics are hilarious and so much fun to read. I shared the part about him eating for a Labrador to so many friends and we all had tears in our eyes from laughter. Bring on book 4.

A New Direction
Well, this is a new adventure, and hopefully, it is a good source of income for Sabina. I am interested in learning how it goes and if she is happy with this new turn of events.
