Country Residence Cortona 2
(ref. code: cortona 2)
...................................................................................................
Located in the middle of the enchanting Tuscan countryside, just south of the historic Etruscan town of Cortona,
lies the Country Residence Cortona 2 with its own private art collection.
Surrounded by the typical picturesque scenery of sunflower fields, this holiday accommodation offers exactly what all Tuscany
fans eagerly anticipate and await:
peace and tranquility, closeness and affinity to nature, wonderful panoramic views overlooking the Chiana valley and Cortona,
stylish ambiance, excellent wines and the close proximity to all the famous cultural and historic sights and places
of interest in Tuscany.
This historical building, which contains 8 modern holiday apartments, has an interesting history.
It dates back to the 18th century where it was built in 1760 by the noble and aritocratic Cortonese Fabbri family.
It was taken over in 2005 by the current owner who invested 3 years in renovating the totally derelict building that
was once a magnificent stately home. With the aid of old existing building plans from the local town council's archives
and under strict supervision and help from the local department for national and cultural heritage, restoration work was carried out on the
ruin and remains of the building. Using only original building materials, in keeping with the typical and traditional Tuscan style
(arte povera'), for example the kitchens are stonewalled with hand painted tiles, the reconstruction has been successful and the property
is now in appearance true to its original state incorporating all modern comforts within.
Each of the 8 apartments features air conditioning, heating, internet connections (ADSL, cabel),
satellite TV with LCD flatscreens (up to 32 Zoll) and the bedrooms all have a private ensuite bathroom.
Outside there is a delightful garden, swimming pool and childrens play area available.
On top there is the private art collection! However the paintings are not displayed in the typical exhibition form of an art gallery,
but are used in the cultural decor. The rooms have all been decorated with paintings by various artists and show original Tuscan landscape
sceneries, hereby presenting the outstanding beauty and uniqueness of this region.
The property consists of the ground floor and 2 upper floors
and divided into 8 apartments as follows:
- 1 x loft-apartment
- 3 x 2-room apartments
- 2 x 3-room apartments
- 1 x 3,5-room apartment
- 1 x 4,5-room apartment
