ITALY, TUSCANY, AREZZO, CORTONA
Positioned above the Etruscan and medieval walls, this splendid historic stone house offers a breathtaking view that embraces Lake Trasimeno and the valley below, with a 360 degree panorama of the breathtaking landscape of Cortona.
The Property
This charming residence, which extends over approximately 500 sqm, has been recently renovated with the highest quality materials to guarantee maximum comfort and functionality. The electrical, plumbing and heating systems have all been renovated to the highest standards, without compromising the historic soul of the house.
The property is spread over multiple levels, with two separate entrances that lead directly to the ground floor. Here there are two large, bright living rooms, with frescoes decorating the walls and overlooking the private garden. A fully equipped kitchen and a separate large laundry room and utility room complete the ground floor, together with a finely decorated guest bathroom.
From this level, two separate staircases lead to the upper floors, each of which has its own unique character.
First staircase: An elegantly curving original staircase leads to 2 bedrooms and a large study, which could be turned into an additional bedroom. The main suite is comprised of a dressing room, bedroom and en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom includes an en-suite bath also. Both bedrooms enjoy separate balconies overlooking the garden and valley below
The real jewel of the property is the panoramic upper terrace of about 50 square metres, elegantly furnished and with attractive lighting. Here, you can enjoy unforgettable evenings, surrounded by spectacular views that embrace the entire city of Cortona and the surrounding landscape.
Second staircase: A carpeted staircase leads to an additional 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. The bedrooms enjoy views of the olive trees and a fountain below from a private shared balcony.
Garden and Cellar
A well maintained secret garden, embellished with 40+ years old olive trees and flowers, is the ideal place to relax outside. While the garden does have an English lawn, it is designed as a quintessential Italian garden. It is completely independent and irrigated and offers a rare serenity in the historic centre of Cortona, right above the ancient walls of the city.
A unique feature of the property is the underground cellar, an ancient secret medieval military passage, today transformed into a welcoming wine tasting room. A small corner of history that adds a fascinating and rare touch to this exclusive residence.
The property also has a private garage with automatic access from the street below, to ensure maximum privacy and convenience.
This property is truly one of a kind: the perfect balance between elegance, history, nature and comfort. Every corner of this home is designed to offer an extraordinary experience, an exclusive retreat in the heart of Cortona.
