The Garden of Wax In the heart of the upper part of Cortona, in the picturesque area of Poggio, just a few steps from the historic church of San Nicolò, lies The Garden of Wax, a splendid independent stone residence that enchants with its authenticity and rare balance of history, comfort, and beauty. This area is among the most sought-after in the city, renowned for its tranquility, stunning views, and atmosphere steeped in culture and tradition.

From here, one can directly access the outdoor courtyard, an intimate and well-kept secret garden, ideal for outdoor lunches or summer evenings, thanks also to the barbecue area. Continuing to the second floor, the attic offers an additional versatile space, finely furnished, perfect as a private study or relaxation area, enriched by a charming skylight that brings light and warmth. Completing the property is a functional and well-organized laundry area. Every detail of The Garden of Wax reflects Tuscan taste and tradition: original exposed beams, terracotta floors, finishes in high-quality natural materials, and underfloor heating, which, along with air conditioning and double-glazed windows, ensure comfort and livability in every season.
