Farm 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. 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.
