2-Bed Monastery Apartment in Historic Centre, Sansepolcro, Italy, €160,000
Medieval Monastery, Tuscany
About this property
Tucked into the second floor of a building dating to the mid-fourteenth century, this apartment occupies what was once a Franciscan monastery dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria. The entrance hall still bears painted ceilings, and original wooden beams with terracotta tiles overhead remind you at every turn that the walls around you have been standing for nearly 700 years. It is the kind of place that makes a new-build feel rather apologetic.
The layout is quietly practical: a living room with a fireplace whose window looks out over the city walls, a kitchen through an archway, a study, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. Floors have been refreshed with single-fired tiles, the heating runs on gas radiators, and a small laundry room sits off the stairwell with a ground-floor storage room thrown in for good measure. Bicycles can be left in the entrance hall, which tells you everything you need to know about the pace of life here.
Sansepolcro sits on the Tuscan-Umbrian border, offering proper small-town calm with Arezzo just 25 minutes away for larger-city amenities and motorway access north to Florence and south to Rome. Perugia and Florence airports are both within reach. For anyone seeking a characterful retreat, a creative bolt-hole, or a foothold in one of Tuscany's quieter corners, this apartment is a compelling proposition at the price.
