Property for sale in Tuscany: apartment in Cortona

Il Chiostro is a wonderful restored complex located in the exclusive area around Cortona - this property for sale in Tuscany is surrounded by 17th century villas and adjacent to a beautiful pre-Romanesque church.

The property lies in the centre of a small valley, protected by its hills from the cold northern winds; very well exposed to the sun, it is very green, lush with vineyards and olive groves, mature trees and cypresses. A delightful, serene environment.
