This Romantic, 2nd floor apartment is nestled between two historic churches & offers a spectacular Panoramic View of the gorgeous Tuscan Valley. The apartment building itself dates from the 15th century & is home to local Cortona residents. Comfortably & stylishly furnished with a new kitchen/dining area, living room with panoramic view & Italian sofa that converts into a very comfortable bed - feels firm like a nice futon rather than a sagging sofa bed - modern bathroom with glass shower, & rustically romantic bedroom with original detail of 15th Century hand carved wood ceiling.
Vicolo Orselli, the street the property is located on, is in one of Cortona's oldest & historic sections & is less than a 3 block stroll to Cortona's Main Piazza with clock tower. Awaken each morning to the aroma of fresh baked pastries wafting from the bakery below, spend your days immersed in true Italian culture enjoying life in the Piazza of this idyllic medieval Tuscan hill town. In the evening, toast the sunset with a glass of wine from your living room window then stroll to a fabulous dinner in any of Cortona's 20+ restaurants! Perfecto!
See Tuscany! Take easy day trips to Montepulciano 20 minutes, Pienza 30 minutes, Montalcino 45 minutes, Siena 45 minutes, Assisi 45 minutes, Florence 1 hr 15 minutes, Rome 2 hr 15 minutes.
