Authentic Tuscan Elegance in the Historic Centre

Arranged over several levels, the home offers approximately 226 sqm of commercial space and combines the charm of traditional architecture with the practicality of a residence ready to be enjoyed.

Its spacious rooms, high ceilings and natural brightness create a sense of openness rarely found in historic centre properties, making this home particularly attractive for those seeking both authenticity and comfort.

Generous Interiors Across Multiple Levels

The ground floor welcomes you with an elegant entrance and a striking staircase that sets the tone for the entire residence.

On the first floor, a spacious living area with kitchenette and dining space creates a warm and inviting setting for everyday life and entertaining.

A mezzanine level hosts a guest bathroom, while the second floor features two large bedrooms, the main bathroom and a study — an ideal space for reading, working or creating a private retreat within the home.

From the study, a small internal staircase leads to the attic and to the property’s most distinctive feature: a panoramic rooftop balcony.

A Rooftop Balcony Over Cortona

The rooftop balcony offers breathtaking views stretching from Lake Trasimeno to the Val di Chiana, across the terracotta rooftops, bell towers and historic skyline of Cortona.
