In the very heart of Cortona’s historic centre, just 80 metres from the picturesque Piazza della Repubblica, stands the “Dimora della Pietra Antica”: an elegant flat of approximately 120 square metres that embodies centuries of history and the authentic charm of the most traditional Tuscany. The property occupies the second floor of a refined 18th-century stately home, skilfully restored in 2008 under the supervision of the Superintendency for Cultural Heritage, ensuring the authenticity and architectural merit that set it apart. Overlooking a quiet and exclusive street, it enjoys a privileged location: just a short walk from restaurants, shops, museums and monuments that make Cortona one of Tuscany’s most iconic and beloved towns. As soon as you step through the door, you find yourself immersed in a warm and timeless atmosphere, where every detail tells a story. The property comprises approximately 105 square metres of usable space, organised into a bright, open-plan living area that combines a cosy lounge with a fully equipped kitchen, ideal for enjoying moments of conviviality. The layout is completed by two spacious double bedrooms and two bathrooms with windows and modern fittings, as well as a comfortable mezzanine that lends itself perfectly to being used as a study or an additional sleeping area, complete with a sofa bed. What makes this home unique are its original architectural details, skilfully preserved over time: the exposed-beam ceilings, the exposed stone walls — from which the flat takes its name — the wooden window frames and the traditional Tuscan terracotta floors, which together lend an authentic and never mundane elegance. The 2012 refurbishment, carried out using high-quality materials and with great care to preserve the building’s heritage, has successfully combined contemporary comfort with respect for the building’s historic character.
