With 80 square meters (840 square feet) of floor space, this large apartment is designed to accommodate 3 people in comfort and is accessed directly from a private ground floor street entrance in one of the most beautiful areas of town.

There is ample metered parking space nearby (in the street above the house), plus a free car parking zone further downhill.
Outside the apartment one walks up a short flight of stone steps and then directly into Cortona in just 2 minutes, or one can stroll in the opposite direction into a beautiful avenue and gardens which is a pedestrians-only area also suitable for small children.

From the start of the gardens one can walk or jog for 3 miles along this beautiful panoramic route that circuits the entire Cortona hillside, including the Villa Bramasole property owned by Frances Mayes.
