Description
Offering a true getaway deep in the idyllic Tuscan countryside is characterful Olivetani. This historic villa has been lovingly restored and furnished to provide a comfortable place to call home during your stay.
Nestling peacefully on a green hillside and surrounded only by trees, there's a sense of peace and tranquillity throughout Olivetani and the lush gardens it sits within. And yet the town of Cortona with its restaurants and historic centre is only a short drive away .
Set over three floors, Olivetani has retained much of its original character and features after undergoing a tasteful renovation. Six bedrooms can accommodate up to 11 people, with the single bedroom being ideal for a younger member of your group. The lower-ground floor bedrooms are especially luxurious and each has its own en-suite bathroom. Whoever gets these bedrooms is also closest to the great gym and spa facilities found on this floor of the villa.
The living spaces and remaining bedrooms are where you can really appreciate the traditional features of the villa. Wooden beam ceilings and whitewashed walls complement the terracotta-tiled floors to perfection, creating cool and relaxed atmospheres.
Doors in the open-plan living/dining room open straight into the garden and beautiful terrace with outdoor kitchen and dining area. This gives you the choice of sitting at the elegant dining table for meals, or enjoying the pretty outside space with an al fresco lunch or dinner. Within the green and rambling gardens is a swimming pool where you can soak up views of the surrounding hills as you unwind.
Nearby Cortona offers every amenity you could need, along with a welcoming atmosphere and historic centre. Shops sell handmade items and wine from the vineyards of Montepulciano, which you can drive to in under an hour.
Historic cities you can also reach in less than an hour include Perugia and Città di Castello. Those with a sweet tooth will especially love Perugia, as it's famous for its chocolate and the nearby factory where you can sample some of the produce! Città di Castello is the place for art lovers, with many Renasissance works to be admired in churches and galleries.
