Situated in the very heart of the Etruscan town of Cortona, the Torre del Capitano del Popolo is a prestigious building dating from the C13th. The property we have for sale is located on the top floor of this building. Access is via the imposing entrance hall and grand staircase. It’s a bit of a walk up, but once there, one is treated to a comfortable apartment from which there are fantastic views down into the main piazza, across the rooftops of the town, over the Val di Chiana and onto the distant Lake Trasimeno.

The living accommodation comprises a 60m2 living/dining room, small fitted kitchen, 1 large double bedroom and 2 smaller bedrooms, full bathroom and a separate WC/washroom with washing machine. In total, there are approximately 130m2 of living space. A spiral staircase from the living area leads up to a mezzanine floor, currently used as TV area and for storage.

The apartment is steeped in history, there are the original terra cotta tiled floors, and a vast chestnut beamed ceiling. The roof is perfectly sound and thermally insulated. The property has full gas central heating. Telephone and high speed internet are available but not currently connected.

All the amenities of this wonderful Tuscan town are within a few minutes walk of the front door.
