Renaissance Palace Home To A Hotel In The Heart Of Cortona

In the heart of the splendid Etruscan town of Cortona, located in the marvelous Tuscan hinterland, this extraordinary historical hotel is for sale. Deriving from the transformation of a Renaissance palace, this structure, which develops has 40 rooms and measures 1,550 sqm, is classified as a National Monument by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, and houses a 15th-century fresco by Masaccio.

The hotel, which occupies one of the oldest buildings in Cortona, is strategically positioned in the heart of the city. The 15th-century building that houses the hotel has been renovated respecting its original architectural features and is an authentic example of the architectural splendor of Cortona. Acclaimed by the specialized press and tourist guides as a "Concentrate of the history of Cortona", the building has also been officially declared part of the National Heritage by the Italian Ministry of Art. A hidden gem within the hotel is a wall painting dating back to the 15th century, depicting the Virgin and Child seated on a throne, surrounded by saints. This work is attributed to a painter from Cortona linked to the circle of Bicci di Lorenzo, but some critical interpretations note references to the art of Masaccio, who was also active in the first half of the fifteenth century.

Beautifully restored, the hotel boasts 40 unique and carefully furnished rooms, divided into classic, superior, junior suite and suite categories. Each room is embellished with period furniture and equipped with modern bathrooms and comforts. The interiors feature wooden beams and windows offering a panoramic view over the rooftops and the valley. In the heart of the structure, there is an internal courtyard with a lateral vaulted porch and an ancient tower transformed into a relaxation area with a Jacuzzi, which offers a 360-degree view of the city. On the first floor of this recently restored hotel, there is a refreshment point. Another unique advantage is the private garage, an exclusive convenience compared to other accommodation facilities in the area.

This prestigious hotel in Cortona, one of the most beautiful towns in Tuscany, is a short distance from the main squares and attractions, including the MAEC Museum, the Diocesan Museum, the Signorelli Theater and the Sant'Agostino Congress Centre.
