Planning your next Tuscan getaway? Then check out this incredibly stylish apartment in the historic city of Cortona...
Cortona is medieval walled town perched on a hilltop overlooking the typical and lovely Tuscan landscape of rolling green hills and lush farmland plains of the region. One of the most undeniably picturesque destinations in all of Tuscany, it is the idyllic setting of the beloved book and film, “Under the Tuscan Sun.” With origins dating all the way back to the Etruscans and the Romans, it is steeped in history and tradition and is remarkably well-preserved. Merely wandering around the historic centre is a pleasant activity that could well occupy an entire day but in addition to the charming surroundings and aesthetic of this ancient citadel, there is an array of incredible museums in the town. Cortona boasts a City Museum, library, Museum of the Accademia Etrusca (MAEC), and Etruscan Academy Art Gallery (home to works by a variety of Tuscan and local artists from the 13th to the 17th century, such as Pinturicchio, Signorelli, Taddeo Gaddi, Spinello Aretino, Piazzetta and more) all located in the beautiful Palazzo Casali. Another fascinating museum in town is the Diocesan Museum and there are a number of gorgeous churches, including the Church of Santa Maria Nuova built according the design of famous 16th century architect Giorgio Vasari.
Then there is the Medici fortress and the calendar of traditional local festivals throughout the summer that involve elaborate parades, events, feasting, and historic costumers. Plus, as you explore all that the town has to offer when it comes to tourist attractions, you will also discover lots of charming and excellent restaurants, cafes, gelato shops, bars, and more tucked into the little squares and streets that wind through the historic core. Cortona is a truly idyllic Tuscan destination where visitors can readily immerse themselves in history, culture, small town charm, regional tradition, and the rich culinary heritage and offerings of this part of the world.

The living room area maintains this same minimalist colour palette but also has pops of colour in a bright yellow rocking chair, a multi-coloured statement armchair, and a large and colourful cityscape painting behind the couch. Details such as the lights and lamps dotted throughout, the big plush couch, the rug, throw, and cushions, and these aforementioned pops of colour all ensure that though modern and stylish, this space also remains cosy and inviting. There is also a bathroom downstairs as well as a separate little utility room in which you can find the washing machine and dryer.
Upstairs, meanwhile, you will find the three bedrooms (one of which is en suite) and another separate bathroom. Two of the bedrooms are double rooms and one is a single room and all of them continue the simple and modern theme of the rest of the apartment but are decorated in brighter cream shades that make the spaces relaxing and welcoming places to return to after days of exploring all that Cortona has to offer.
