Just a short walk from Piazza del Campo, in one of the city's most peaceful and characteristic neighbourhoods, this historic building tells a story spanning centuries. Dating back to the 13th century, the apartment has preserved many of the original features that define its identity, elegantly enhanced through a careful renovation that respects its heritage. The entrance opens into spacious, airy interiors where the impressive ceiling height creates a wonderful sense of openness, while magnificent exposed wooden beams run throughout the rooms, telling a story that has endured for centuries. Natural light streams through the distinctive arched window, casting ever-changing reflections throughout the day and highlighting the warm tones of the timber alongside the soft hues of the walls. The living area unfolds with effortless balance, creating a space that conveys a harmonious sense of continuity. The clean lines of the contemporary finishes blend discreetly with the original structure, resulting in a refined and naturally cohesive atmosphere.
The kitchen follows the same understated design language as the rest of the home, featuring clean-lined cabinetry and neutral-toned materials that allow the property's authentic character to take centre stage. The contrast between the contemporary surfaces and the original timber ceiling creates a sophisticated balance, enhancing both the building's historic heritage and its carefully executed modern updates. Located on the ground floor, the apartment extends over approximately 95 sqm and also features two bathrooms, both completely renovated with contemporary finishes and minimalist design solutions that integrate seamlessly with the overall character of the property. In 2018, the apartment underwent a significant refurbishment, including the complete replacement of the electrical and plumbing systems, the renovation of both bathrooms, and the installation of new windows and internal doors. This comprehensive intervention enhanced the home's functionality while preserving its architectural identity and historical value. The result is a residence where different eras coexist with remarkable harmony. Centuries-old wooden beams, elegant arches, generous proportions and the natural light that fills each room tell a story that spans hundreds of years, while contemporary elements provide comfort and functionality with understated elegance.
A home where time seems to have found its perfect balance—between the memory of its origins and the comfort of a thoughtfully renovated residence, allowing its materials, natural light and architecture to tell the story of its unique character.
