Amenities and special features of this apartment

In the very centre of Città Alta, in a thirteenth-century residence originally owned by the noble Lupi family, we offer for sale a top-floor flat of incredible historical charm. The turret, which fascinates every passer-by in Via Tassis, houses the panoramic kitchen that offers enchanting views over the rooftops among which the Campanone and the Torre del Gombito stand out, and over the green hills of Valverde and Maresana. Here time seems to have truly stood still in a noble past. The property is spread over two floors and currently has an interior layout that could also be suitable for the management of an accommodation business. The property has the availability to offer four independent bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms as well as laundry and technical rooms, connected by a large and suggestive entrance corridor. The large living area features a splendid sixteenth-century stone fireplace in perfect working order and an evocative crystal staircase leading to the upper floor where the jewel in the crown of this property is located: the Torretta. The flat is completed by a cooling system, independent heating, two garages in front of the property and an uncovered parking space inside the courtyard.

Romanesque Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore.All the streets have retained intact their medieval flavour with buildings and arched portals, once the once housed ancient craft workshops.
