This charming villa is located on the ruins of the historic Church of Madonna degli Alemanni, a place of worship with deep roots in local tradition. According to legend, the church takes its name from a colony of Germanic soldiers who camped near Cortona during the Crusades, giving rise to a small but significant religious centre. In the 14th century, a new church was built, richly frescoed and home to the venerated statue of the Madonna della Manna, now preserved in Cortona Cathedral. However, with the increase in the number of worshippers, the church became insufficient and, in 1730, it was decided to demolish it to make way for a new structure, which was completed in ten years. In 1786, by order of Grand Duke Leopold of Tuscany, the church was demolished again and replaced by the current manor house, an architectural masterpiece that retains the charm of history. The hotel lobby occupies the area that was once the church, while the oratory is located on the lower floor, accessible via a staircase connecting the two levels. The villa not only offers a unique investment opportunity in the tourism sector, but also preserves precious historical elements. These include two Gothic capitals and two frescoes dating back to the 14th and 16th centuries, originally located on the north wall of the current buffet room, now housed by the Institute of the Sisters Servants of Mary Reparatrix. This property represents a perfect combination of history, culture and commercial potential, making it an unmissable opportunity for those wishing to invest in a prestigious property in the heart of Tuscany.
