Cortona Propriété Exclusive à Vendre

Located in the heart of Cortona, this exclusive four-star hotel offers 25 elegant rooms with breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and Lake Trasimeno. The building, converted in 2001 from a sumptuous 18th-century villa, is enriched with frescoes from a 14th-century church, giving it a unique historical atmosphere.
For years, the property has been dedicated to tourist hospitality, specialising in banquets, conferences and overnight stays. The structure also offers the possibility of developing an individual catering branch, thanks to its generous and charming spaces, all interconnected and equipped with the necessary services.
The villa is strategically located, ideal for exploring the wonders of Tuscany and Umbria, with places such as Arezzo, Florence, Siena, Montepulciano, Assisi and Perugia within easy reach. Cortona is at the centre of a world-renowned historical and cultural heritage.
The building has four floors, a basement and two gardens, perfect for relaxing outdoors. On the ground floor, guests can enjoy the living area with reception, breakfast rooms and restaurant, professional kitchens and bar area. The upper floors house the bedrooms and service rooms, connected by a modern lift and a beautiful sandstone staircase. The basement floor includes storage areas, staff changing rooms with independent entrance and technical rooms.
An additional advantage is the private garage, a rare convenience for accommodation facilities in the area. The renovation work has preserved the historic charm, equipping the rooms with high standards of efficiency and comfort.
The 245 m² terrace, connected to the adjoining portion, offers an ideal space to enjoy the open air and tranquillity of the village. Each room is decorated and frescoed by hand, with air conditioning, mini bar, satellite TV, telephone with LAN network, internet connection, safe and en-suite bathroom with whirlpool bath or emotional shower.
The common areas reflect elegance and refinement, with blown glass chandeliers, medieval stone inserts, trompe-l’œil, friezes and Tuscan terracotta floors. The furnishings consist of fine antiques and precious fabrics, while the bathrooms are designed in a classic style. The heating is independent and adjustable for each room.

This charming villa is located on the ruins of the historic Church of Madonna degli Alemanni, a place of worship with deep roots in local tradition. According to legend, the church takes its name from a colony of Germanic soldiers who camped near Cortona during the Crusades, giving rise to a small but significant religious centre.
In the 14th century, a new church was built, richly frescoed and home to the venerated statue of the Madonna della Manna, now preserved in Cortona Cathedral. However, with the increase in the number of worshippers, the church became insufficient and, in 1730, it was decided to demolish it to make way for a new structure, which was completed in ten years.
In 1786, by order of Grand Duke Leopold of Tuscany, the church was demolished again and replaced by the current manor house, an architectural masterpiece that retains the charm of history. The hotel lobby occupies the area that was once the church, while the oratory is located on the lower floor, accessible via a staircase connecting the two levels.
The villa not only offers a unique investment opportunity in the tourism sector, but also preserves precious historical elements. These include two Gothic capitals and two frescoes dating back to the 14th and 16th centuries, originally located on the north wall of the current buffet room, now housed by the Institute of the Sisters Servants of Mary Reparatrix.
This property represents a perfect combination of history, culture and commercial potential, making it an unmissable opportunity for those wishing to invest in a prestigious property in the heart of Tuscany.
