Description
A beautifully restored hilltop hamlet, Borgo Bastia Creti’s old stone buildings have become five independent villas and apartments. Surrounded by extensive lawns and managed by obliging resident staff, they share the use of a barbecue, tennis court and sixteen metre swimming pool, along with a converted chapel that is now Club Bastia. This get-together venue has a PC for guests’ use, a sitting area and a delightful dining hall, where local dishes are the order of the day for (optional) evening meals. With super views from its elevated spot, Gli Olivi is accessed by steps from the central courtyard, which is furnished for al fresco dining. Beamed ceilings, bright rugs, tiled floors and cheerful décor create a light and airy feel throughout the two storey accommodation, which includes a dining kitchen and comfy sitting room on the lower level and, occupying the upper floor, a twin room with en suite shower, and a very spacious and romantically rustic double bedroom with bathroom. Well equipped with modern comforts, Gli Olivi also offers (pre-bookable) cook service, and is 15km from shops and restaurants in Umbertide.
