|
L'Oliveto was originally the main olive mill in this village near Cortona, on the Tuscany/Umbria border. |
|
| Today there are 3 charming apartments and
a restaurant in the cantina of the main building and 2 further apartments
in a converted barn. |
| The three story building
can be approached from two directions. In the main picture, the drive
brings you to the ground floor which is a small restaurant serving Sardinian
cuisine. The cook is the owner of L'Olivetto. The balcony with flowers
on the first floor is private to apartment 3. |
|
 |
|
| Approaching
from the other side of the building, up a steep drive, you arrive at
a courtyard with the owners' house on the right. Apartments 1 and 2 are on the left with separate outdoor furniture and this is the top floor of L'Olivetto. The 10m pool is on this level in another part of the property. All are of a good agriturismo standard. |
 |
|
Apartments 1 and 2 have a large dining/living room with a kitchen corner; a double bedroom,
a bathroom with shower. There is a sofa bed in the main room. Apartment
2 also has a child's bed in the bedroom and a washing machine in the
kitchen. Both apartments have a table and parasol in the peaceful courtyard.
(For apartment 1, laundry can be given to the owner at €5 a load.) |

L'Olivetto is on the edge of the village and it is also a short walk to its twin village in Tuscany. There are other restaurants in both villages.
There are cafes, supermarkets, banks, post offices etc
despite the fact that the villages themselves are very small. |
|
 |
|
| It is a quiet area. In fifteen minutes you can be at
Lake Trasimeno and on your way to Siena, Montepulciano, Florence etc.
In the other direction lie Assisi, Gubbio, Perugia. |
 |
|
All around are wonderful
old hill towns dating back to thirteenth and fourteenth century (that's
the newer ones) set in exceptional verdant scenery.
The main line station at Terontola-Cortona is twenty
minutes with direct trains to Florence, Arezzo, Orvieto, Rome. Italian
trains are generally reliable, comfortable and inexpensive.
Fastest trains: Florence 65 minutes, Rome
95 minutes. |
