In typical Tuscan style – a flaxen-yellow facade and wooden shutters – this terraced house sits in the charming city of Arezzo. It’s mere footsteps from Saint Clemente Gate, marking the beginning of the medieval Old Town, and a seven-minute walk from the iconic main Cathedral in the very heart of town. Wandering the ancient, winding streets around you, you’ll find museums packed with medieval art, farm-to-table restaurants serving Tuscan fare and cosy little wine bars for an evening tipple.

You can see the old bones of the building inside the apartment. Think stone archways on display, wood beams running along the ceilings and an ornate old fireplace in the living room. Glass flooring has been added to show off the medieval stonework in the cellar below. But there are modern touches too – the sleek white kitchen and glass desk with a statement chair should you need to work remotely.
