This remarkable residence offers a rare combination of architectural elegance, panoramic terraces, and modern comfort. Next to the town hall that is home to celebrated 19th-century frescoes by Antonio Cappelletti, the property enjoys a privileged location within one of southern Tuscany’s most refined villages.
Spanning approximately 250 sqm, the residence was designed by a renowned Roman architect and reflects a thoughtful balance between traditional Tuscan craftsmanship and contemporary sophistication.
A Village of Timeless Heritage
Cetona is one of Tuscany’s most enchanting hilltop villages, with origins dating back to prehistoric settlements and later flourishing through Etruscan, Roman, and medieval periods. Today it is recognized among “The Most Beautiful Villages in Italy”, celebrated for its preserved architecture, lively piazzas, and commanding views of the surrounding countryside.
Medieval walls and the historic fortress built by the Sienese in the 15th century still shape the village skyline, giving the town its unmistakable character.
Elegant Interiors with Artistic Detail
Upon entering the residence, a welcoming hallway leads to a beautifully appointed bedroom on the left, accompanied by a bathroom just opposite. Large windows frame sweeping views of the valley and Mount Cetona, bringing the surrounding landscape into the home.
To the right, an elegant sitting room features a charming fireplace, a flower-filled balcony, and an intimate reading nook nestled within a staircase alcove—an inviting space for quiet relaxation.
The Heart of the Home: Kitchen and Living Areas
Ascending the main staircase, a small terrace overlooks the historic Palazzo Minutelli—an idyllic spot to pause and enjoy the village atmosphere.
A few steps above, the living area unfolds into a spacious kitchen and dining room crafted with exceptional materials. The bespoke kitchen was designed by a local artisan and features marble from San Casciano dei Bagni paired with finely crafted wooden cabinetry.
The adjoining dining room centers around an imposing fireplace with built-in benches, creating a warm and convivial gathering space.
Beyond this lies a grand reception hall flooded with natural light. From here, doors open onto a spectacular panoramic terrace, furnished with a marble table and equipped with an electric sunshade. The terrace overlooks the valley and Mount Cetona—offering one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in the entire village.
A Home Framed by Light and Landscape
Every window reveals sweeping countryside views, transforming the surrounding valley into a living backdrop. Throughout the residence, handmade terracotta flooring runs seamlessly across the rooms, enhancing the warm tones and authenticity of Tuscan materials.
Private Sleeping Quarters
The sleeping area is introduced by a corridor decorated with hand-painted trompe-l’œil floral motifs, created by a local Cetona artist.
This level includes:
A spacious master bedroom with en-suite bathroom
A second bedroom with a bathroom just opposite
Both rooms enjoy peaceful views toward the terrace and countryside.
A striking cast-iron spiral staircase leads to the upper level, where an additional intimate bedroom with private bathroom opens onto its own panoramic terrace.
Comfort and Modern Infrastructure
While rich in historic character, the residence is equipped with modern comforts designed for year-round living.
Features include:
Air conditioning in the main living and sleeping areas
Fibre-optic Wi-Fi connectivity
Carefully selected materials including wood, wrought iron, exposed beams, and hand-crafted decorative elements
The property also includes an additional room with bathroom and independent entrance, ideal for guests or staff.
Rare Amenities in a Historic Village Setting
Completing the property are several valuable features rarely found in historic centers:
A large double garage
A spacious ancillary room (“fondo”) suitable for a private wellness area, fitness studio, or creative atelier
A Unique Tuscan Residence
Combining panoramic terraces, refined interiors, and a prestigious village location, this residence represents a truly distinctive opportunity in southern Tuscany.
Whether envisioned as a primary residence, elegant second home, or representative retreat, it offers the rare privilege of living within one of Tuscany’s most captivating historic settings—where art, architecture, and landscape meet in perfect harmony.
