The Architects House

(#206)

Description

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 center 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.

Interior Description

A beautiful French window allows you to access easily from the kitchen to the outdoor garden.
On the first floor we find the first bedroom composed of a double bed and equipped with a private bathroom with a large shower. From the bedroom window, the view of the ancient church of San Niccolò deserves a mention.

Guest Reviews for The Architects House

Excellent Rating Details

We rented this property for two weeks in late April and early May. The house is an amazing combination of historical Cortona architecture with contemporary interior design. We enjoyed lovely private side yard and garden daily. The house is located in the Poggio, one of oldest neighborhoods in Cortona. It faces a small park and is surrounded by the original convents. If you are interested in immersing yourself in the local culture, it is an ideal choice.
As others have stated, the walk into the dining and shopping areas of town is about 12-15 minutes, but is very steep. We are active and in our 70s, and managed the walk fine. The meandering narrow streets and open vistas to the valley below are stunning. The locals were very friendly. We loved it there.
Special thanks to Alen for his patience and making sure we had everything we needed.
This house is highly recommended!
