Renovation project with an abundance of charm for sale in Anghiari
Appartamento Il Gran Camino is located 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.
Voted one of the “Most Beautiful Medieval Towns in Italy,” Anghiari is a vibrant small town with a rich cultural life and numerous events held throughout the year. The town stands approximately 429 m above sea level and has a population of around 5,800 residents — the perfect size for an authentic, close-knit community while offering all essential amenities.
Set in the heart of Anghiari’s historic centre, the property occupies part of a stunning 16th-century convent. Over the centuries, the convent has been carefully divided into private residences, each with distinctive architectural features and a sense of timeless character. The building remains a fascinating example of local history and craftsmanship.
Appartamento Il Gran Camino is located on the first floor, accessed via the original wide stone staircase leading from the internal courtyard — an atmospheric entrance that immediately evokes the property’s monastic origins.
Unique, spacious apartment brimming with original features
The apartment spans approximately 300 sqm and retains many of the convent’s most distinctive architectural details, including the original laundry trough in a magnificent barrel-vaulted space. The imposing, historic kitchen fireplace offers a charming glimpse into centuries past, where meals were once prepared for the resident nuns and consumed in the refectory which was within the apartment.
Large windows at the front of the property fill the spacious rooms with natural light. In more recent years, this area was used by a local club for meetings, reflecting the building’s continued role in the community. In total, the apartment includes 14 generous rooms, each with an abundance of period features and renovation potential.
A balcony overlooking the internal courtyard provides a peaceful outdoor retreat — ideal for morning coffee or as a reading nook.
