Villa Ortano

Located on the east coast of the island of Elba, in that bit of territory between Porto Azzurro and Cavo that is able to combine panoramic landscape and tranquillity throughout the year, Villa Ortano stands in a splendid dominant hilly position, within the Minelba National Mining Park, overlooking the exclusive and enchanting bay of Ortano which is 1.5 km away on foot (only for expert walkers). The property is located in a centuries-old wood of cork oaks, maritime pines and numerous other protected plant species that guarantee strong oxygenation to the environment, even in the height of summer.The villa is to be admired for the taste and obsessive attention to detail with which it was recently renovated.

Exterior

The entirely-fenced park of the villa includes a large circular car park at the entrance and is surrounded by a luxuriant wood of cork trees, pines, broom, laurel, myrtle, strawberry trees, palms and Mediterranean scrub with its unique scents. To the right of the entrance is a beautiful olive grove suspended on a “purple bed” of verbena. Surrounding the villa are numerous porticoes covered by dried Mediterranean scrub and grassy areas with evergreen plants of particular beauty such as lippia nodiflora and zoysia japonica, designed to grow in maritime areas as well. All around is a harmonious succession of edging and flower beds of multicoloured flowers and aromatic herbs with their intoxicating fragrances, useful for preparing tasty dishes both on the stone BBQ and in the brick oven. The peculiarity of the tiered garden is to allow those who stay here to discover, every day, various different areas in which to relax.

Set just a few metres to the side of the house, and reached across the lawn, the rectangular pool measures 1.80 x 3.40 m with a constant depth of 0.70 m. above ground. Lined in sand-coloured PVC, it is equipped with a Jacuzzi corner, internal lighting, heating and waterproof seats on one side. Next to the mini pool is a paved solarium with comfortable sunbeds, umbrellas and a cold-water shower. It is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October.
