Description
Tucked away on a peaceful street in the heart of Sarteano’s medieval centre, this hidden gem reveals one of the town’s best surprises — a spacious and luminous three-bedroom apartment with its own private garden, an unexpected oasis behind the ancient stone façades.
From the outside, there is little to suggest the generous scale within. The apartment, located on the second floor, features original beamed ceilings, traditional terracotta and parquet floors, and plenty of natural light throughout. It is immediately habitable, though some modern updates could easily enhance comfort and style. If desired, there is space to create a second internal bathroom.
