apartment is located in a historic building in a little side street called Vicolo della Notte, just off the main shopping street, Via Nazionale. The area is closed to traffic for most of the day and the apartment is quiet and yet all the restaurants, elegant boutiques, shops and cafes are within walking distance. The owner's family antiques business is just across the road. The apartment Iooks out over the street and the typical 15th century buildings of Cortona.
