L'ULIVETO
Near SIENA
Sleeps 10
|
Only 10 minutes drive from Siena, and
located in a small hamlet in a tranquil,
classical Tuscan setting in the heart of the
Chianti, this former school provides a
most comfortable holiday venue. A
decision of whether to set off touring in a
hot car, or relax at L'Uliveto, by the
beautiful pool area, or enjoy a game of
tennis, is never a difficult one.
L'Uliveto was originally the
schoolhouse for a small 17th century
village. One of the
main features of the house is the trompe
l'oeil decoration on the front and back
of L'Uliveto, painted by the owner's
ancestor, a governor of Siena in honor
of a visit to the estate by the then ruler of
the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. It was
done to remind the Grand Duke of a farm
in his native Austria, although the locals
at the time remained rather skeptical as
to whether it was truly authentic. A
plaque still commemorates his visit.
L'Uliveto is set at the edge of the hamlet,
with beautiful gardens, terraces and pool
area facing towards a lovely view of the
Tuscan countryside. Inside, the house is
comfortable and spacious, and provides
ideal accommodation for families with
two living rooms and two kitchen areas
which add to the suitability.
The owner has provided thoughtful
touches to ensure her guests enjoy their
stay, with a high ratio of baths to
bedrooms and large comfortable beds.
Outside, extensive "wrap around"
terraces provide two areas for dining al
fresco under a rose covered shaded
pergola or under umbrellas, and extensive
lawns provide endless play areas for
children.
