Apartment for sale in Appartamento L'antico Convento, Anghiari, Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy

Appartamento l'Antico Convento is in the picturesque, medieval, hilltop town of Anghiari. Anghiari is situated in the Tuscan part of the Upper Tiber Valley, in the province of Arezzo. It has been voted one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Italy and is a vibrant, small town with an abundance of cultural events throughout the year. The town is approx. 429 m above sea level and has a population of around 5,800 people.

Set in the heart of the historic centre of Anghiari, the property is located in a stunning 16th-century convent, which, over the centuries has been converted into apartments and still maintains many original features making the building fascinating from both a historical and architectural point of view. This type of living accommodation is unique within the town, with the original "nuns' cells" being converted into apartments all linked by an internal courtyard. Appartamento l'Antico Convento is located on the second floor of the convent and accessed by walking through the internal courtyard and up the original, wide, stone communal staircase.

The front door of the apartment leads into a large hallway that is a flexible space for dining, study or play. To the left of the hallway, are the original 'cells' which have been cleverly converted into functional rooms. The kitchen, directly to the left of the front door, is full of rustic charm with bespoke, brick-built cupboards and tiled tops. The next cell has been transformed into a cosy lounge area. At the far end of the hallway, on the right, there is a recently added second bathroom, a practical utility room and a large, contemporary bathroom with a large window looking out onto an old wall covered in vegetation, creating an eye-catching effect which works beautifully in the context of the property. Two spacious double bedrooms are found in the cells adjacent to the lounge, both of which are light and airy.

The property also includes a large attic space above the apartment and a spacious cantina of approx. 50 sqm with a lovely barrel-vaulted ceiling, which is located on the floor below.
