Italian Historic Villa Hotel in Cortona Tuscany

This luxurious four-star hotel, boasting 25 bedrooms, is nestled in the heart of Cortona, offering stunning views of the surrounding hills and Lake Trasimeno. Originally a grand 18th-century villa, the building was transformed in 2001, incorporating frescoes from a 14th-century church that once stood on this historic site.

The hotel, long established as a premier tourist accommodation, excels in hosting banquets and conferences alongside providing overnight stays. There is also significant potential to expand into individual catering, thanks to its generous, interconnected spaces and comprehensive service facilities.

Strategically positioned, the villa offers easy access to Tuscany and Umbria’s many captivating tourist attractions, including Arezzo, Florence, Siena, Montepulciano, Assisi, and Perugia. Cortona itself is a cultural and historical gem, renowned worldwide.

Spanning four floors, the property includes a basement and two terraces/gardens perfect for outdoor relaxation. The ground floor features a welcoming reception area, breakfast and restaurant rooms, professional kitchens, and a bar. The upper floors house the bedrooms and service rooms, accessible via a state-of-the-art elevator and a beautiful stone staircase. The lower ground floor accommodates storage areas, staff locker rooms with separate entrances, two staff bathrooms, and various technical rooms. A private garage offers exclusive convenience not commonly found in the area.

The villa’s conversion preserved its historic charm while ensuring the highest standards of technical efficiency and comfort in both common areas and bedrooms. A 245 sqm terrace provides a delightful space for guests to enjoy the town’s tranquillity and pleasant weather.

The hotel exudes luxury and elegance in its halls and rooms, adorned with period furniture, fine fabrics, and frescoed walls in warm tones. Covering 1,500 square metres, the mansion features four levels and twenty-five rooms, including two designed for disabled access. Each room is individually decorated with hand-painted frescoes, equipped with air conditioning, mini bar, satellite TV, LAN and an internet connection, a safe, and an en-suite bathroom with a whirlpool tub or emotional shower.

Common areas are equally refined, featuring precious blown-glass chandeliers, medieval stone arches, trompe-l’œil, finely crafted friezes, polished Tuscan terracotta floors, and original pietra serena fireplaces. The furnishings include fine antiques and luxurious fabrics, with walls and ceilings decorated by esteemed Tuscan craftsmen. Independent, zonal adjustable heating ensures comfort throughout.

Historically, the villa stands on the site of the Church of the Virgin of the Alamanni, a 14th-century church built by Germanic soldiers during the Crusades. Over centuries, the site evolved, with the current manor house being erected in 1786 by order of Grand Duke Leopold of Tuscany. Remnants of the original church, including Gothic-style capitals and frescoes from the 14th and 16th centuries, are preserved by the Institute of the Servant Sisters of Mary Repairers.

This Italian hotel for sale offers a unique blend of historical significance, luxurious accommodation, and prime location, making it an exceptional investment opportunity.
