San Martino agli Ulivi is surrounded by a large 3000 square metre park where olive trees alternate with lawns, rosemary, lavender and hypericum bushes, many types of roses, geraniums and flowers, fruit trees, lemons, aromatic plants (laurel, basil, chamomile, wild fennel, mallow, mint, oregano, sage, thyme).
Near the swimming pool the owners take care of a small vegetable garden with seasonal products ( tomatoes, eggplants, zucchini, chillies) that guests can pick by themselves.
Many relax areas in the large garden also allow a large group to find moments of silence and tranquility. On the balcony of the apartment Botticelli are wicker chairs to enjoy a glass of Syrah at sunset. The other two apartments have a little private outdoor space with table and chairs.
On the ground level, the large and welcoming kitchen is perfect to have access to the gazebo and to the barbecue. The gazebo has white cotton curtains shading the sunlight and a large wooden table seating 12. In the barbecue area you can find all the necessary grilling tools and the owner is always helpful to light the fire for inexperienced guests.
The swimming pool (9 x 4 meters with a single depth of 1.20 meters) is surrounded by nature, set deep among ancient olive trees, flowery hedges and a large lawn. It was built in an splendid panoramic position on a natural terrace and offers a striking view of Cortona and the valley. It is exposed to the south with sunshine all day. There are many deck chairs, sun loungers, umbrellas and a solar shower with hot and cold water.
