Architects House is a beautiful property with garden located in the oldest and highest part of Cortona, called "Poggio" by the locals. Immersed in a fascinating and timeless atmosphere, this house is one-of-a-kind, it is surrounded by ancient churches, houses and convents and its position makes it ideal for taking pleasant walks immersed in nature, enjoying spectacular views of the valley and breathing the millenary history of the city. Don't miss the route that leads to the Sanctuary of Santa Margherita and the Girifalco Fortress. We are also just a few minutes walk from the city centre where you will find all the attractions that the city has to offer as well as good restaurants and wine bars where you can taste wines and local excellences.
The property is spread over three floors for a total of approximately 200 sqm. The windows offer lots of natural light and create a beautiful atmosphere with the central element of the house, a beautiful central staircase in oak and steel surmounted by a large skylight that allows sunlight to filter from the top to the bottom of the house. The Architects House is the result of a project by a well-known American architect who played with the historical elements of the house by fusing them with cutting-edge interior design, making superb use of space and light. The property is made even more exceptional by a garden full of plants and shrubs where there are both a patio dedicated to relaxation and a large stone table where you can eat your dishes in the open air. In the garden you will also find an outdoor area with barbecue and support surfaces.
