The Bourbon Palace

The Bourbon Palace
Inside the prestigious Palazzo Petrella, located in the historic heart of Cortona just steps away from the main attractions, we offer for sale a charming noble apartment. This historic residence, once belonging to the family of the Marquis Bourbon Petrella, who settled in Cortona in the 13th century, retains its original beauty.
The apartment is located on the second floor of the Palace, in impeccable condition, and welcomes visitors with the family crest at the entrance, symbolizing the role of Imperial Vicars. Ascending the elegant staircase, one accesses the first reception hall, a space of rare magnificence with original flooring, a splendid fireplace, decorative friezes, and an imposing coffered ceiling over three meters high.
Continuing down the corridor, there are two spacious bedrooms, characterized by vaulted ceilings adorned with elaborate Baroque decorations that give the property an old-world charm. The masonry kitchen, situated in a large room with delicately painted ceilings, is fully functional and blends history with practicality. The apartment features two bathrooms, also finely appointed.
A unique additional detail is the private chapel, with a marble altar and frescoed ceilings, a true gem of art and spirituality. The entire residence offers a spectacle of colors, charm, and refinement, with endless possibilities for customization for those who wish to live in a place where time seems to stand still.
Cortona, a famous Etruscan city, stands on a hill 600 meters above sea level, surrounded by ancient walls. It has been chosen as the set for famous films such as Life is Beautiful and Under the Tuscan Sun.
