Experience the heart of Cortona


Elegant 3 bedroom apt

Historical building in Piazza Signorelli

Walking distance to all amenities

No need for a car

Right in the cultural heart of Tuscany


Palazzo Vecchio is a 3 bedroom home located in the Tuscan hill town of Cortona – made famous by the book/movie Under the Tuscan Sun. The apartment is on the first floor of a 15th century Palazzo in Cortona's main piazza. The house was recently restored by a local architect with exquisite attention to historical detail and keeping the integrity of the medieval architecture in tact. The blend of Tuscan antiques and contemporary furniture are tastefully appointed through out the home.

The living and dining area is all open floor plan, with large windows and facing Piazza Signorelli, where people congregate throughout the day to talk, shop and eat. The kitchen is fully equipped. The living room has satellite TV and the fireplace has been restored to working order. The master bedroom is off the living area and has a king size bed. At the far end of the living sit two single bedrooms, a bathroom and a mezzanine studio with a single bedroom. It is ideal for 4/5 guests.


Zone


Many people ask whether it is recommended to rent a car in Cortona. If you are planning to visit neighboring hill towns during your week in Cortona, then YES, rent a car! It is quite time consuming to take buses and trains around to hill towns. The only day trip we recommend taking the train for, is to Florence.

If you plan to stay put during your week in Cortona, you do not need to have a car at all, everything you need can be found in town.
In case you do rent a car, parking is available on the nearby streets or in Cortona's municipal parking lots outside the city walls, very close to the apartment.
Cortona is fully served with all amenities and great food shops for all food lovers. Butcher, baker, wine shops, fresh and local fruit and veggies. Most amazing Ice cream, nice restaurants on the Ruga Piana (main street, pedestrian). But the best part of Cortona lies in the hidden alleys, which you just have to discover!

Swimming and other Activities:
There is a brand new swimming pool in Cortona, set on the hill, with marvellous views. You can reach it walking from the house. It has a bar and restaurant where you can eat all day. Ideal on days far too hot to sightsee.
Otherise, 10 minutes drive away you have Lake Trasimeno, where you can swim, sail, windsurf, rent bikes or a fab Vespa!
In the area you can go horse riding, take a wine tour, purchase ceramics and antiques.
