San Martino agli Ulivi is the result of a long and accurate renovation of the family estate. On one of the stones of the old barn you can see a date inscribed: 1895; however the original core of the house - which without foundations lays on the flank of the hill - dates back to the 1600.
The renovation aimed to conciliate the preservation of the original structure with the innovative techniques for sustainable constructions to protect the environment and to reduce energy consumption.
Therefore, matching to the typical cotto floors, in-sight beams ceilings and bricks, you will find the photovoltaic system and solar panels, thermal and soundproof cladding for the inner walls, certified window and door fixtures.
The estate graciously accommodates 10 guests in 5 beautifully appointed bedrooms.
On the ground level, a large and welcoming living area that is the perfect place to gather together.The property is tastefully furnished and completed by the modern comforts: pyroceram induction hobs, satellite TVs, air-conditioning system, Wi-Fi internet connection. .

In order to enjoy their relaxing moments and to eat in the open air, guests have on their disposal two nice gazebos in wrought iron, one located in front of the house and the other one made next to the pool.
