Property Description

I Consoli di Gubbio is an apartment located in a medieval building characterized by an external facade with "exposed" stones and a sixth arch above the entrance to the building, which has maintained the most representative architectural elements of the time. We are just a few meters from Piazza Grande, almost in correspondence with the Bargello Fountain (or Fountain of the Fools), by going around which three times you traditionally have the right to obtain a madman's licence. Located on the second and third floors of the building, the apartment comprises, on the second floor, the entrance which opens onto a large living room with an antique fireplace and three large windows overlooking the main street. A short corridor with built-in kitchen and view of the Monastery of Sant'Ambrogio leads to a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom and shower. Upstairs, connected by a private internal staircase, there is a second living room, also with an antique fireplace and panoramic windows, a first double bedroom, a bathroom with shower and a second double bedroom with panoramic terrace, equipped with ensuite bathroom and tub. The property includes a 63 sqm tavern located on the lower street floor, entirely in stone and exposed brick with barrel vaults, completely renovated on a structural level maintaining the original features. The tavern leads to an ancient underground tunnel dug into the rock which continues for several meters dividing into two paths and then reuniting.

Location

The apartment is located in the center of Gubbio, in the lively district of San Martino, in one of the most exclusive and important streets of the city, overlooking the ancient Bargello fountain and a few meters from the renowned Palazzo dei Consoli. Dominated from above by the monumental Basilica of Sant'Ubaldo which houses the incorrupt remains of the Patron Saint, Gubbio hosts architectural masterpieces which symbolize and recall the power of this medieval city-state. Gubbio is considered by many to be the most beautiful medieval city in Italy. Among the most important events that are organized in the city, the Corsa dei Ceri and the historical re-enactment of the Palio della Balestra undoubtedly deserve special mention.
