Are you looking for an exclusive property that combines the charm of the past with the potential for an extraordinary future? This enchanting Cortona Castle, dating back to the year 1000, represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Located just 17 km from the center of Cortona, in the heart of a picturesque mountain village, this charming castle offers spectacular views of the valley below, providing breathtaking views and a timeless atmosphere.
Cortona Castle stands majestically in a unique setting, surrounded by other splendid properties, already renovated and lived in, which enrich the village with a harmony of elegance and tradition.

The Property Composition
The main Castle is spread over three floors, with a total surface area of 650 m2, divided into:
Ground floor (180 m2): a large entrance hall leading to various spacious halls and rooms, all with high ceilings and rich in original details.
First floor (97 m2): a sleeping area consisting of bedrooms and bathrooms, perfect for ensuring the privacy and comfort of each member of the family or guests.
Second floor (373 m2): a large area that still offers enormous possibilities for customization, with large spaces to be used as common rooms or private apartments.
The small annex in the immediate vicinity of the castle, on two floors, offers an additional 100 m2 of surface area, ideal for creating an independent apartment, a guest house or a professional studio.
The Private Church and the Courtyard
A distinctive element of this property is the attached private church, which adds a mystical and historical touch to the castle. The internal courtyard, which connects the various structures, is equally evocative: spacious, tranquil and perfect for events, al fresco dining or moments of relaxation immersed in the natural beauty that surrounds it.
