la sommità - olivi

Olivi is a luxury 2-bedroom apartment beautifully enclosed in a splendid hilltop private hamlet for rent, set between Tuscany and Umbria. The magnificence of this luxury Italian vacation property is authentic when you visit the Niccone Valley; that is where la Sommità is located.
It is a valley chosen by many celebrities who prefer to spend their holiday in under-the-radar exclusive homes, where the service, the beauty of the countryside, and its luxury villas make the area really special. The private hamlet of la Sommità boasts of a private swimming pool, tennis court shared by five luxury vacation apartments.
The renovation of this very old and valuable estate has been carried out fully respecting the original beauty and structure, carefully bringing out the most significant characteristics; the beautiful mottled stone and round arches. Terra-cotta floor tiles, oak-beam ceilings, rustic antiques and bare stone walls create the finest country rustic effect with city-elegant furnishings and completely modern kitchens and bathrooms.
Set among the landscape which has formed the background to so many paintings, La Sommita’ radiates from every view a picture of harmony and beauty.
Indeed, this is a special place for special people who appreciate the mystic atmosphere of the countryside. It is a place to relax by the pool or under the cypress trees, to play tennis or enjoy a sauna.
La Sommita’ is also a centre from which you can visit the most interesting cultural and religious spots of Italy such as Assisi, Gubbio, Spoleto, Orvieto, Arezzo, all of which are a short drive away.
Guests of the La Sommita’ are lodged in five beautifully decorated, spacious stone houses, two of which, the Cottage and Limonaia (Lemon House), stand on the hill below the old chapel, looking out over the valley. The other three, Olivi (Olives), Cipressi (Cypresses), and Ginestra (Broom Flower) are located among the stone farm buildings and face each other across a piazza alive with colourful flowers.
All houses have quality furnishings and the kitchens are fully equipped with all modern amenities, i.e., dishwasher, washing machine, satellite and local television, cd player, and a separate telephone line with a meter.
Olivi is a lovely and bright apartment on 2 levels with a private entrance from the old hamlet’s courtyard. The house boasts amazing views on every side of the surrounding valley.
