Il giardino degli Ulivi

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.
Within the farmhouse the owners have created, maintaining all existing structures, six 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 (18x7).
Just next to the house guests will be able to use an old wood-burning oven located in a covered area.
The house, situated on the road that links Foiano and Cortona borders the farmer’s cooperative consisting of a warehouse and some wheat storage bins.
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.
