Casa Fiamma
Casa Fiamma
Overview
This old building is located within walking distance of the historic center of Cortona, within the Etruscan walls. A few years ago, the whole building was converted for hospitality purposes, and it has been divided into three cozy, spacious and comfortable apartments. From each apartment, one can admire and enjoy the splendid view over the Val di Chiana. At Casa Fiamma our guests are received in the large, light-filled rooms. Imbued with history, the family crest painted on the walls suggests that Casa degli Affreschi was once a noble residence.
Casa Fiamma is a cozy apartment on the ground floor, and it has about 150 sq mt.
The spacious entrance to the apartment is furnished with a wooden table and chairs so it’s possible to enjoy here a convivial dinner, since the kitchen is easily accessed from this room. Furnished with all you will need to prepare delicious dishes, the kitchen is fully equipped with a stove, oven, an American-style coffee maker, fridge, toaster and kettle; an additional dining table and a window complete it.
The living room is furnished with armchairs, sofas, a mirror and antiques. It is the perfect place where to enjoy some family time, talk with friends or simply relax. Two long windows illuminate this space and afford beautiful views from this room over Val di Chiana and surrounding hills.
From the kitchen, some steps lead to the two bathrooms, both with showers. For this reason, the accommodation is not suitable for people with walking disabilities. On the right side of the kitchen, a door leads to the first, well-appointed double bedroom. The second bedroom can be reached in two ways: either directly from the first bedroom, thanks to a door that connects them both, or from the spacious living room.
Casa Fiamma is the ideal option for the stay of two couples, each one with its own privacy.
The Palazzo has a small courtyard equipped with garden furniture which Casa Fiamma’s guests can definitely enjoy.
Overlooking the beautiful panorama of Cortona’s rooftops and Valdichiana valley, it is a tranquil corner where breakfast or a light meal can be enjoyed. Plus, a dining set for 2 is available for guests to use.
During summer, it is a pleasant area to stay, since it is a shadowed area of the garden.
From an outside gate, a delightful communal garden can be accessed by Casa Fiamma’s guests. It has a con una copertura di materiale naturale, una seduta in pietra ricoperta da morbidi cuscini. In the shade, one can enjoy a local glass of wine while watching the sunset and wonderful view on the surrounding landscape.
