The property is arranged over three levels and connected by a traditional wooden staircase.

The ground floor includes a private garage with space for a car, as well as the boiler and technical facilities. The first floor features a spacious dining room with access to two large outdoor terraces, a comfortable living room, a compact kitchen with dual-aspect windows, a bathroom, and a laundry/utility room. An external entrance also provides direct access to the garden.

Upstairs, there are three generous double bedrooms and a bathroom. Two bedrooms open onto a balcony, while the third benefits from dual-aspect windows and particularly impressive views. There is also a versatile studio that could be converted into a fourth bedroom or used as a home office.

The property’s greatest attraction is its extensive garden, which reaches the ancient walls of Cortona. Several terraces, patios and grassy areas create excellent spaces for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxing.

A small independent annexe sits on the first terrace level of the garden. It includes a living area, kitchenette and bathroom, making it ideal as a summer guest space, barbecue area or private retreat.

The combination of a central location, generous outdoor space, spectacular views and easy car access makes this a particularly versatile property. Despite being close to Cortona’s restaurants, shops, culture and entertainment, it offers a quiet and private setting surrounded by greenery.

Thanks to its separate entrances, there is also potential to convert one level into an independent rental apartment, creating an opportunity for additional income.
