CORTONA. Amazing restored frescos and a room with a view.

[@MakerNZ]

Living in New Zealand I can only dream of places like this. That is one of the best ones you have filmed Nick , the owners have hit the nail on the head with style and tradition. I would not change a thing. Love it. What a gem.

[@michellenorthington5872]

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.

[@jelsner5077]

Love these town apartments! More, please

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Beautifully and sensitively done. I was also squeaking with delight. Bless you thanks Nick.

[@Challenger540i]

What a city centre apartment ! All that history , stylish and quality. Ancient meets modern. It's unique

[@TalkTalk44]

Nick that was an incredible tour ,so well done .who would not want to live in this incredible apartment ,the views ,ahhhhh. I can dream !

[@patriciabrawner3717]

Very interesting, but I must say I love the country homes better. It was unique in design, I am sure it will be great for people who love convenience of being in town, & the architectural details just awesome. Thanks for sharing I love your videos.

[@italianproperty]

Thank you Patricia. Best wishes, Nick.

[@dawnpeterson1269]

Gorgeous apartment. I guessed 1.2 million before you said it.wish I could afford it and wasn't afraid to live on upper floors, (scared of fire). Thanks again Nick, love your videos.

[@italianproperty]

Thank you Dawn. Have a great weekend. Best wishes, Nick.

[@paulalaye6428]

Oh my good lord, what a find Nick. An 11 out of ten from me ! That is huge isn't it? And the price is very reasonable for what it is. The history here is out of this world I'm certain!! Best wishes Paula from uk.

[@danstoye3902]

Nick you crack me up, if I close my eyes, you could be describing a 4 course meal or a runway show with models! Great job as usual and if you hadn't mentioned it you can hardly tell except for the 1 bathroom the lack of lighting.

I loved it from the moment you opened the door at the street side, in fact… I loved that door, the hallway…, just like in Lugnano …. It has something magical. This is a real gem 💎.

[@italianproperty]

Looking forward to seeing you soon. Best wishes, Nick.

[@patreonsage5169]

Most interesting! Huge potential. The kitchen has no warmth. The Bells and the Bell tower would, however, assuredly drive me mad. Cortona, or not. Fantastic tour, Nick. Well done you.

Thank you. Best wishes, Nick.

[@pamlaenger6870]

Stunning! Yes!

[@pamlaenger6870]

I love your videos. They give me sweet dreams.

[@gnarbeljo8980]

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!

[@italianproperty]

Really enjoyed reading your comment. Thank you. Nick.

[@jleetxgirl]

This is the best yet! The restoration of the frescos is so lovely. The whole apartment is quite nice. The colors inside and outside make me want to paint a picture of the area, building, skies, everything! 🥰 I can see why an artist lived and worked there. ❤️ In the opening shot, you looked quite hunky, too, Nick. And the parting shots, as well.👍

[@italianproperty]

🙏 Best wishes, Nick.

Would buy this for the frescoes and the church bells, yet another gorgeous property from you.

Wow, this appartment is just incredible, a gem! Sorry that I can't afford it. Hope there will be other objects in towns, for an ordinary Scandinave, more affordable objects... I have followed you for a while, and you are very good presenting houses, and I love your positivity.

Amazing restoration, the only thing I will change If was mine to put the kitchen where the studio is which has a great dining room, I think that stunning kitchen is a bit sacrificed, maybe they eat outside with all the yummy trattoria around!

[@colleenmayes1537]

I'm doing the happy dance. In my head of course...

That is truly an amazing property, not my style or taste but I see the appeal.

Fantastic!

[@ramonajordan3875]

That is a kitchen! The frescoes are magical. Is the building currently occupied? Okay, this is a typical American question for which I apologize; is there parking?

[@italianproperty]

Hi Ramona, Thanks for your comment. No private parking but one would get residents parking. Have a great weekend. Best wishes, Nick.

[@rogerjob2780]

Beautiful. On your way to the dining room there is a door on right. Is it a closet….strange looking doors 🤔?

Good question Roger. I think that’s the front door. Best, Nick.

[@pauladominique7885]

#13! Are the Italians superstitious about numbers? Love seeing you close those lids! HaHa! Fantastic view and spaces!

[@italianproperty]

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.

[@raysville7256]

Devastatingly heartbreaking that I cannot move in tomorrow.

[@marypost2353]

I definitely like the features of the country houses better but there were little treasures in this one too. The frescos were beautiful! 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. Great camera work again Nick! It is fun to see these homes with your commentary! The views were amazing! Thanks for this video!

[@italianproperty]

Thank you Mary and thanks for you comment. Have a great day. Best wishes, Nick.

[@zissou6928]

Imagine adding a balcony to that master. Good lord

[@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]

I think it was just one house. I can ask as I know the family that owned it. Not sure about the other staircase. Was that in the hallway? If so, it was the back of the Palazzo which would have been for staff. Best, Nick.

[@kirkshrum6222]

Fabulous apartment, love the details! Not a huge fan of the staircase structure though. Cheers Kirk

[@domenicbarone3215]

Hi Nick, I enjoy your presentations as usual. But to spend this amount! I would prefer other alternative, such places in Umbria with open space better breathing air in the country with better views. Kindest Regards.

[@t.s.507]

Stunning apartment, although the first couple of floors look abandoned and unkept and I would be uncomfortable walking up those stairs alone at night!

[@italianproperty]

I think it just needs a good clean. Thanks for your comment. FYI: Cortona is super safe. Best wishes, Nick.

[@Beeson1sm]

hey, new to the channel but loving these vids, just a quick one. because of the red strip at the bottom of your thumbnails it makes it really hard to know which of your videos i've already watched, just something i thought i'd say cause it may be beneficial for you to know, cause it'll help people like myself binge all your videos more. keep up the good work though, love it!

Thank you. Best regards, Nick.

[@Larry-208]

No roof terrace? There were stairs going up...

Hopefully heaven. Best wishes, Nick.

[@matzzzz]

Dear Nick I love your video’s. However I must say that if a house is 14 th century, the door(s) and knockers most likely are later in date! This beautiful property had several updates throughout the century’s to keep up with fashion. The facade is defenitely later.

[@mrscuteas]

I knew it had to be at least 1 million, is the art work in the studio included?

[@italianproperty]

Not sure, I’ll ask. Thanks for your comment Mrs. Cute As. Best wishes, Nick.

[@jameslarue4190]

I like the house but...I really don't like the modern "Things" in this house. If I was to buy I would have to get rid of a few things. I say things because I have no idea what they are. Again...nice house.

[@lilide2729]

Very nice, is only the second floor or all the building, is the price!

[@italianproperty]

Hi Lili, It's the top two floors. Best wishes, Nick.

[@smilo7f255]

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.

[@italianproperty]

Thank you for your comment. Opinions are the spice of life and I appreciate yours. Best wishes, Nick.

They put a couch in the stairwell so that you can rest.

[@CarpetLayer]

Seems a bit sterile for my taste. Also, why is the dining area so far from the kitchen? The rooms just seem a little too closed off.

It is anybody living in that building? It is beautiful but abandoned. they need to repair or paint the outside and inside. It is a pity the way it actually is
