Historical Villa Leopoldina to Renovate in Cortona

In the countryside of Cortona, in a quiet and panoramic position, prestigious Leopoldina villa from the early 19th century, approximately 900 sqm, with agricultural buildings, an annex of 36 sqm, and private land of about 3,400 sqm. The property, documented in the historical Leopoldino cadastre, preserves important original architectural elements, including the characteristic tower, stone vaults, and terracotta floors. Completely to be renovated and subject to historical constraints, it offers interesting recovery possibilities as a representative residence or charming hospitality structure.

Historical Villa, Main Rooms and Annexes

The villa develops on three levels, with spacious environments and a layout that reflects the original agricultural and residential destination.

The ground floor includes an entrance, four cellars, a storage room, a bathroom, a habitable kitchen, a large garage, and an ancient wood oven.

A canopy connects the residence to an agricultural building with former stables, tool storage, and a cellar, characterized by generous volumes.

On the first floor, accessible via internal and external stairs, there is a habitable kitchen, a bathroom, and seven rooms allocated to the living and sleeping areas.

The top level houses the characteristic Leopoldina tower of about 20 sqm, with an engraving depicting Saint Stephen on the facade.

Completing the property is an independent annex of approximately 36 sqm, originally used as a garage and also to be recovered.

Land and Panoramic Context

The villa is surrounded by about 3,400 sqm of private land, set in the rural landscape of the Cortona countryside.

The property also has two wells to be recovered. The location offers tranquility, panoramic views, and convenient proximity to services.

Condition, Historical Details and Potential

The villa requires complete renovation, both in the residential part and in the agricultural environments. Some works have already begun, but systems and fixtures are absent, while the roof shows partial damage caused by wind.

The interiors preserve original terracotta floors, elements in sandstone, a historic fireplace, barrel and cross vaults, and ceilings with original pine beams.

The historical significance of the building and the spacious volumes provide the opportunity to develop a recovery project for a prestigious private residence or hospitality business, in compliance with the constraints and required authorizations.

Located in a hamlet of Cortona, the property is just over five minutes from the main services. The Camucia-Cortona train station and the A1 Bettolle toll booth ensure connections to Rome and Florence. Siena, Arezzo, and Perugia are reachable in about 40 minutes by car.
