Il Giardino Degli Ulivi

It is wonderful place where you can spend nice holidays with family. The apartment on the first floor is very nice clean and comfortable, with good equipped kitchen. The house is in rustical style and there is not so hot. There is nice view for Cortona city. Arround the house is many plants with shadow places. There is also big, clean and beautiful swimming pool. It is very good place to see many interesting places in Tuscany. The owners are very frendly. It is lovely place.

Nice staff, spacious, clean apartment with nice furniture, nice view to Cortona, nicely maintened beautifull garden with clean pool, olive trees, table tennis, free washing opportunity. Cortona is in about 10 minutes with car.

Our apartment was on the first floor, and we hadn't balcony or terrace, we had only a place at the garden with table, chairs and sun umbrella. So every time we had our breakfast, we had to carrried down everything (food, plates, glasses etc.)from the first floor. It was a little bit uncomfortable for us. The apartments on the first floor are better in this respect, because they have their own garden areas. It would have been nice to have a microwave! Sometimes the farm in the neighburhood was a little bit noisy.

Beautiful property with lovely views of Cortona from the pool & from the apartment that we were in. Very clean both inside the apartment & in the grounds. The kitchen in the apartment was well equipped with everything you might need. Visitors also have access to a laundry room with a washing machine, clothes airers, iron & ironing board. Very secure property with electronic gates & enough parking spaces for all visitors. Only a short drive to Cortona town. The owner Frederica was very friendly & helpful as were all the staff.

There is a granary behind the property which is well concealed by trees, however, during our visit in July you could hear machinery noise at times & occasionally lorries pulling in & out & although the noise from this was minimal it was quite annoying when trying to relax by the pool as could last around twenty minutes each time. However, the owner did say that this only occurs around July time. The pool is a lovely size & very clean but the edging strip inside the top edge of the pool pool needs replacing as quite a few areas have chipped off & some of the terracotta tiles seated around the top of the pool edge need repairing or replacing.

We had a great view for Cortona from garden/pool. Amazing place to have a good rest as well as to visit fabulous places in Tuscany/Umbria.
