One of our top picks in Cortona.Il Giardino Degli Ulivi is a holiday house hosted inside a 19th-century converted farmhouse just outside Cortona, an ancient Etruscan town that has perfectly preserved its historical charm. Overlooking Cortona and offering a charming view of the town, the Giardino Degli Ulivi is surrounded by a garden allowing all guests to enjoy an independent external area and a large swimming pool. All 4 apartments were built respecting the existing structures maintaining all the exposed-stone walls, exposed beam ceilings and characteristic terracotta vaults and furnished in characteristic Tuscan style. Just next to the house guests will be able to use an old wood-burning oven located in a covered area. A covered car space is available for each apartment. The Giardino degli Ulivi is located along the road running across the Valdichiana valley, and is thus the perfect site for bicycle and walking tours. It is also ideally set close to the main historical centers and towns of Tuscany and Umbria.
