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 typical terracotta vaults and furnished in typical 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 centres and towns of Tuscany and Umbria.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.0 for a two-person trip.

Here you can breathe peace and enjoy the scents of the flowers and trees surrounding the Giardino degli Ulivi. You will feel as there's no better place to spend your holidays, you will fell as at home.
Hi everyone, I am Federica and I run Il Giardino degli Ulivi near Cortona. For me, the love for this beautiful land and its fruits is a family tradition. It was my father who started the farming business by buying the farm where the agriturismo is now located. Today, we still grow cereals and sunflowers, and we also raise cattle. In our plans, we also have the cultivation of a vineyard to produce our own wine as well as other farm products. The history of our agritourism began in 2002 when my father and I decided to renovate this old farm about ten kilometres away from the current family farm. It took us three years to renovate the Giardino degli Ulivi, and we did it by faithfully preserving the original structures and materials, until we opened it to guests in 2005. Since 2012 I have been personally in charge of the reception of our guests and it has been a great joy to receive visits from all over the world. Meeting different cultures fascinates me and makes me feel part of the world, since, between family and the farm, I don't have much time left to travel, one of my passions. All the time I have I dedicate to my true passion, Il Giardino degli Ulivi, and to everything that happens in this magical place every time we receive a guest. I look forward to seeing you at Il Giardino degli Ulivi to help you discover this wonderful little piece of Tuscany where you will feel at home.
Il Giardino degli Ulivi is located near to Cortona, a tipical italian medieval town, and nearby there are Etruscan areas of archaeological interest. Cortona is also very close to Umbria, which makes it possible to visit the area around Lake Trasimeno, Perugia or Todi.
