Entering through the ground floor door and ascending via an internal staircase, you arrive on the first floor. Here, a welcoming hallway guides you to a bright kitchen and a dining room that bathes in natural light. This room, with its large windows, offers breathtaking dual views—both of the lively Via Nazionale and the picturesque piazza—providing a unique and ever-changing spectacle throughout the day.

The first floor also hosts a comfortable master bedroom, ideal for restful nights after days spent exploring Cortona's wonders. Additionally, there’s a convenient storage room, another hallway, and a well-appointed bathroom, completing the living and service areas of this level.

Ascending further, an enchanting attic awaits, a magical space with panoramic vistas that capture the spirit of one of the village's most captivating spots. Perfect as a study or relaxation area, this space is complemented by another equally charming room, which can be used as an additional bedroom or office, offering the opportunity to live and work in a dreamlike setting.

The history of this house is as captivating as its location. Dating back to the 13th century, the building has undergone numerous renovations over the centuries, standing as a silent witness to Cortona's architectural and historical evolution. In 1515, Pope Leo X blessed the city from the stone loggia, an event marking a significant historical moment for this place. Known as "Casa Salvini," the building still bears the mark of its ancient owners, with the Medici coat of arms carved into the facade overlooking the piazza.

Every corner of this home tells a story, from the renovations that have shaped its current form to the architectural details that hark back to Cortona's glorious past. For those eager to delve deeper into the rich history of this location, the archives of Cortona and Arezzo offer a wealth of documents and texts revealing more secrets and anecdotes of the building.

This property is not just a house; it’s a unique opportunity to inhabit a piece of history, in a setting that seamlessly blends ancient charm with modern comfort, in the heart of one of Italy's most beautiful and vibrant villages.
