Casa Della Nonna 2 Bedroom 2 Bathroom Sleeps 4

RETAIL $3200

Casa Della Nonna, or "home of the grandmother", is a charming little 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment, tucked away on one of the ancient medieval alleys, Via Jennelli, in the centre of Cortona. The building is a 15th century dwelling and is owned by Toni, an accomplished woodworking artisan from Rome. He inherited the building from his grandmother, or Nonna. Toni has just completed the restoration of Casa Della Nonna, with exquisite attention to historical detail and keeping the integrity of the medieval architecture in tact. The blend of Tuscan antiques and contemporary furniture are tastefully appointed through out the home. The apartment is on the second floor and the kitchen, living and dining area is all open floor plan, and face the valley below with spectacular vistas from several windows. The kitchen is equipped with modern amenities, dishwasher, washing machine, and houses the original centuries old stone sink. The living room has satellite TV and the fireplace has been restored to working order. The master bedroom is off the living area, has a queen size bed, and has its own en-suite full bathroom with shower, and a mezzanine sleeping area with a twin size bed. The second bedroom is off the kitchen with a queen bed and its own ensuite half bathroom. Parking is available on the nearby streets or in Cortona's municipal parking lots outside the city walls, very close to the apartment. Casa della Nonna is ideal for 4 people, and is a wonderful home to base yourselves during your adventure in Cortona.
