Our charming apartment is located in the heart of historic Cortona, a walled Etruscan town that dates back to antiquity. Situated in one of the more serene areas of Cortona, the apartment is near the ancient convent of Sant’Agostino and the historic center, rich with museums, monuments, stores, and other amenities. Free parking is also nearby, a mere 100 meters away.

Cortona is in the center of the Valdichiana, in the heart of Tuscany. The city is teeming with history, art, culture, local artisans, and regional wine and culinary specialties. Several popular tourist destinations of Tuscany and Umbria are well within reach of Cortona (Florence – 116km, Rome – 200km, Siena – 70km, Assisi – 70km, Orvieto – 90km, Montepulciano – 30km). Thanks to this favorable position, a choice of major international airports is also available (Rome Fiumicino – 230km, Florence Amerigo Vespucci – 130km, Perugia Sant’Egidio – 60km).

The apartment is on the ground floor of a palazzo that dates back to the beginning of the 19^th century. It is a single-level studio apartment with no stairs, making it ideal for two guests, or up to four guests by utilizing the pull-out sofa in the living room. The main door opens into an ample living space complete with a spacious kitchen completely restored by hand by a local artisan and highlighted by handmade artistic ceramic fixtures realized and painted by the property owner herself. 

The bedroom area is separated from the rest of the apartment by a great arch of brick and stone, which contrasts the spectacular wooden beam ceiling and antique terracotta floor. The room itself consists of a queen-sized bed and large armoire, and is divided from the rest of the apartment by a stylish curtain. 

The bathroom is located on the other side of the bedroom area and features a stand-alone shower with a stone floor, an exquisite ceramic sink, mirror, and lighting fixtures – all made and painted by hand by the property owner who also owns a small studio shop in the historic center of Cortona where guests are welcome to explore all her artisanal and artistic work.
