The farmhouse is currently composed of several buildings that have found a harmonious arrangement over time. On the first floor are eight of the ten rooms with bathroom. On the ground floor there are two more rooms with bathrooms, the breakfast room and restaurant with a large fireplace, the reception and outside the porches with a large, panoramic terrace with a 360 degree view. In the remaining structure, partly on the ground floor, we find the service area with kitchens, wine cellar for fermentation and ageing of the wines, the meeting area, the wellness area, with heated swimming pool - sauna - whirlpool - hammam - gym, the private chapel and the children's playroom. The family-run farm activity takes place, for the most part, around the farm on a total area of 50 hectares. You will be surrounded by unspoilt nature and your gaze will be caught by ancient olive groves, woods full of life, green pastures and an endless series of hills, springs, waterfalls and small streams. The territory of the municipality of San Venanzo was part of the Papal State, a memory that we still carry with us is the 'sciapo' bread: to escape the 'salt tax' imposed by Pope Paul III Alessandro Farnese, the people resorted to the expedient, which today qualifies and distinguishes the Umbrians, of making sciapo bread. Cottages began to spring up in the area between the 16th and 17th centuries, with the advent of sharecropping; built stone on stone, almost always placed on ridges in the centre of the farm with the entrance facing east (at sunrise), they were generally structured in two areas: one for housing animals, the other for living quarters. The stable was the main centre of interest. The Olivastrella farmstead was part of the priest's tour for the blessing of the houses of San Venanzo at the beginning of the second day; the priest, with the sacristan and the donkey, set off early in the morning for the 'Sorce' farmstead, after the nickname of the settler of the time. The farmhouse is located about 1,700 metres as the crow flies from San Venanzo, and the farm road starts to the right of the aedicule of the Madonna of Lourdes on the S. S. 317. It was a farmhouse that originally had a rectangular shape that was later modified due to the sharecropper's family needs. The name 'Olivastrella' derives from the diminutive of the word 'olivastro', which is an evergreen shrub similar to the holm oak. The farm was abandoned around the early 1950s and remained so for a long time, until the new owner undertook renovation works and recovered all the agricultural activities, both production and breeding. In these lands it is still possible to rediscover the typical atmosphere of country life; the friendly discussions of the old-timers, the tight negotiations fought to the last penny, but concluded with a handshake, the genuine food and wine are still important values and that is why here you will rediscover the flavours of the past, the scent of the hearth, the genuineness of our organic products.
