Italy holiday rentals - apartments in Umbria, close to Tuscany. Green Tree vacation rental apartments.
Situated in Umbria, close to the border
with Tuscany, in the Pausillo Regional Natural Park, the Green Tree apartments
are located in an ideal spot for anyone wanting the peace and relaxation of
the Italian countryside, whilst at the same time having the artistic and cultural
delights of both Umbria and Tuscany close to hand.
The nine apartments are surrounded by a large enclosed park of approximately
10000 m², part and parcel of an estate of 120000 m² of olive-trees
and Mediterranean woods. Each apartment has its outside patio and/or a porch
with tables, chairs and surrounding deck chairs. All guests have at their disposal
a swimming pool with solarium, equipped areas for barbecue, games for children,
mountain bikes, private and shaded parking.
The cottages have been delicately restored, using traditional methods and materials
wherever possible - chestnut beams, hand made bricks and tiles, and local stone
for exteriors. The rooms are charmingly furnished and decorated with local antiques,
objects and assorted old implements, once part of everyday life.
The property rests on top of a hill at 400 metres above sea level, and is surrounded
by olive-groves (more than 400 olive-trees produce an extraordinary olive oil)
and woods of Mediterranean undergrowth, with various kinds of trees such as
evergreen oaks, hornbeams, junipers and different varieties of pines. There
is even an age-old cork tree, a real rarity for the local flora. The brushwood
is rich in countless classes of shrubs such as broom, heather the dog rose,
hawthorn and blackberry bushes.
Two small brooks flow at the lower part of the hill and bound the estate, and
as far as wildlife goes, you may be lucky enough to see wild boars, hares, pheasants,
common and grey partridges, or migratory birds such as turtle-doves, thrushes,
wood-pigeons and woodcocks. There are numerous paths heading off into the Pausillo
Regional Natural Park that can be used for nature walks or bicycle riding.
