Appartamento Affrescato A Cortonese · Cor286

Frescoed residence in the heart of Cortona, Arezzo – Tuscany

Ref. COR286
A few steps from the Town Hall and the Clock Tower, in the heart of the historic centre of Cortona (province of Arezzo), we offer a residence of rare elegance inside a noble palace, one of the most prestigious and best-preserved buildings in the city, owned for centuries by the same family of Marquises.
The palace dates back to the 13th century and was enlarged in the 17th century, when it was embellished with frescoes and decorations attributable to the Cortona school of art, which are now extraordinarily well preserved. The entrance on the ground floor is stately and spectacular, with a refined foyer and grand staircase leading to the main floor, where there is exclusive access to the property.
The interior celebrates historical aesthetics with a rare presence: the reception 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 comprises two bedrooms, a kitchen and two bathrooms, with a consistent and sophisticated atmosphere, enhanced by period details and fine finishes.
A truly unique feature is the private chapel, which is still consecrated and can be used for private ceremonies: an authentic gem with a marble altar and the noble coat of arms with an 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, providing discreet contemporary comfort that is well integrated into the historical context.
Ideal both as a private residence 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 travellers, celebrities and culture enthusiasts.
Cortona is located at an altitude of 490 metres above sea level and dominates a spectacular area on the border between Tuscany and Umbria, a short distance from Lake Trasimeno, with comprehensive services, a railway station and easy connections to the region’s main historical sites, natural parks and food and wine itineraries.
