Appartement Des Marbres

Apartment of the Marbles
In the heart of the historic center of Cortona, nestled among the cobbled streets and ancient aromas, stands Palazzo Zefferini, one of the most illustrious residences in the city. Built in the second half of the 14th century and transformed into a noble residence in the 17th century by the design of Filippo Berrettini, the palace still retains its original charm: the majestic stone entrance, the Florentine coats of arms, the stone honor staircase with wrought iron railing, and the frescoed vaults tell its centuries-old story.
Within this extraordinary context lies the Apartment of the Marbles, a residence of approximately 225 sqm located on the noble floor. Light, proportion, and harmony define every room: the large representative living room with refined flooring and shiny surfaces, the decorated ceilings, the classic-style kitchen with a serene stone fireplace, three spacious bedrooms, and two elegantly finished bathrooms.
The property also includes an attic with exposed beams, ideal as an office or additional space, offering picturesque views of the rooftops and the Cortonese landscape.
Completing this charming residence, on the basement level of the palace, is a large storage cellar with independent access from the internal courtyard. An authentic environment, perfect as a service space, garage, or additional area to be reclaimed, in continuity with the historical style of the building.
The Apartment of the Marbles represents a rare opportunity for those wishing to live in a place where time seems to have stood still: a house of history and beauty, in the heart of Cortona, where every detail, from the shiny floors to the original decorations, tells the noble elegance of Tuscan tradition.
