Frescoed Residence In The Heart Of Cortona

A few steps from the Town Hall and the Clock Tower, in the heart of the historic center of Cortona (province of Arezzo), we offer a residence of rare elegance, in one of the most prestigious and well-preserved palaces in the city. The palace dates back to the 13th century and was expanded in the 17th century, when it was adorned with frescoes and decorations attributable to the Cortona art school, which are now extraordinarily well preserved. The entrance on the ground floor is stately and dramatic, with a refined foyer and a grand staircase leading to the noble floor, where there is exclusive access to the property. The interior spaces celebrate historical aesthetics with a rare scenic presence: the representative living room is enriched with delicate stucco decorations and an elegant marble fireplace, while a central corridor harmoniously distributes the rooms of the house. The property includes two bedrooms, a kitchen, and two bathrooms, with a coherent and sophisticated atmosphere, enhanced by period details and high-quality finishes. A truly unique element is the private chapel, still consecrated and usable for private ceremonies: an authentic jewel with a marble altar and the noble coat of arms with the eagle above the altar. All rooms feature original 17th-century frescoes and vaulted ceilings, and enjoy views of the city or the surrounding countryside. The residence is also equipped with air conditioning, for discreet contemporary comfort well integrated into the historical context. Ideal both as a private representative dwelling and as a high-profile investment, the property is also suitable for generating income through tourist rentals, thanks to its central location and the iconic appeal of Cortona, one of the most sought-after destinations for international travelers, celebrities, and culture enthusiasts. Cortona is located about 490 meters above sea level and overlooks a spectacular territory on the border between Tuscany and Umbria, a short distance from Lake Trasimeno, with complete services, a train station, and easy connections to major historical sites, natural parks, and food and wine itineraries in the region.
