  • It's great to be back in Cortona. What a beautiful Tuscan town this is. Oozing historical and architectural buildings that will just take you breath away. Today "One Take Property Tour" is the top two floors of an incredible 14th century Palazzo in the heart of Cortona and directly opposite the cathedral (Duomo). The Duomo di Cortona was built over the remains of an Roman temple in the 11th century. Today elements of the Roman facade is still visible.
    This amazing apartment has that "room with a view" which is just stunning. With approximately 360sqm of internal space with exquisite restored frescos, artist studio, professional chefs kitchen and 4 bedrooms; this really is a special abode.
    At the time of this video publication the property details are being prepared and should be on our website, linked below, in the next couple of days. If you can't wait that long please just email us info@abodeitaly.com.
    I hope you enjoy this virtual property tour.
    Best wishes,
    Nick Ferrand.

    HOLY CRUDOLA!!!!! I really can't believe...... 4 bedrooms and plenty of space. I love the kitchen. I'm a very good cook and baker.... Heck.... I'm good at everything I set my mind on doing, LOL!!! I love the size of that fireplace in the living room. And to hear those tower bells reminds me as a child in my grandparent's home. As their house was next to a church with tower bells. Investors tore down their home earlier this year to build an apartment complex. I literally cried.

    I think the frieze you called arts&crafts is mideval. There are similar ornamentations from late mideval/ renaissance times and the arts&crafts designers drew much inspiration from that era as did the Prerafaelites.
    Beautiful flat, very high end modernization and interesting mix of ancient and modern design. Probably very reasonable price for this flay considering the size, location and the investments made in renovation!
    The church bells are an added charm, lovely!

      Hi Paula, No, Friday 17th is our unlucky day and 17 is the unlucky number. This superstition comes from the Roman numeral XVII, and then changed anagrammatically to VIXI; in Latin that translates to "I have lived," which can be understood as, "My life is over." Best wishes, Nick.

Not a fan of the stainless steel modern look of the kitchen. I did feel like I was looking at two separate homes with the style of the kitchen compared to the other rooms.

  • @Moonmaedyn

    Nick, what was this building originally? I mean, in the 14th century? And that recreation of the frescoes could have been "aged" and blended in, but I see why they did it the way they did. What was up the other staircase? It looked like the gameroom/bedroom level had another level beyond? The bedroom & bathroom off the kitchen is for the "help." Do not like the kitchen at all, but the view was spectacular! ♥

    • @italianproperty
      @italianproperty  Před 2 lety +1

    I have a contrarian view which I am sure will not be popular. The current owners modifications with the exception of the frescoes, are very particular. The SS kitchen, with the largest exhaust hood that is not in a restaurant. The wood and SS multilevel shelves near the staircase. The interior improvements but choosing to replace or restore the windows. The lack of outdoor space , all add to my question if it’s overpriced. A quick search on similar properties in or near Cortona will produce several that seem a better value. That being said Nick as the agent has to walk the fine line of pricing based on the owners beliefs.
