The
Farmhouse
|
|
Il Giardino degli Ulivi is located about 2
miles away from Cortona, an ancient Etruscan town that perfectly
preserved its historical charm and has grown to be one of Tuscany’s
main cultural and artistic centres. The holiday house was created
inside an old 19th century converted farmhouse which was later
enlarged in the course of the 20th century. The first floor was
originally, as was then customary amongst farmers, where the family
actually lived whilst the ground floor was used as a tool shed,
hayloft and animal shed.
Within the farmhouse were created, maintaining all existing structures,
4 apartments fully furnished in pure Tuscan style. All apartments
are equipped with kitchenette, independent heating, fireplace,
air-conditioning and satellite TV.

The farmhouse, overlooking
Cortona and offering a charming view of the town is surrounded by
a garden allowing all guests to enjoy an independent external area
and a wonderful swimming pool. Just next to the house guests will
be able to use an old wood-burning oven located in a covered area.
Two further apartments, a washing-room, the reception and a cosy
lounge area are located in an old converted stable and tool-shed.
The estate also includes a newly planted olive grove. The Giardino
degli Ulivi is located in an ideal position along the road running
across the Valdichiana and is thus the perfect site for tremendous
bicycle and walking tours and wonderful trips thank to its proximity
to the main historical centres and towns of Tuscany and Umbria.

All four apartments were
built with full respect of the existing structures maintaining
all exposed-stone walls, exposed beam ceilings and typical cotto-vaults
and furnished in typical Tuscan style.
In compliance with all current safety regulations and for the
full safeguard of our guests each apartment is equipped with certified
fireproof matresses, curtains, fire-extinguisher and a small first
aid-kit. Available for each apartment is also a covered car-space.
