About this property

Enchanting historical Medieval Tower on the Main Street opposite the Cathedral

The Tower of Uguccione, an early 13th century Condottiero, is in the center of Sansepolcro with its entrance on the main street, just 50 meters from the central “Torre di Berta” square.

The Tower is the perfect place to spend an unforgettable holiday in a real medieval tower located in the heart of Sansepolcro.

You enter the apartment through a medieval door.
On the first level are the kitchen/dining room and a bathroom. A large bedroom studio is located on the upper floor with a double bed, a sofa bed for a child (length is 160cm), a cot for a baby and large windows overlooking the roofs, the towers and the church steeples of the town. The bedroom can accommodate 2 adults, 1 child and 1 baby.
The terrace on top of the tower offers a stunning 360-degree view over the Tiber valley. It is also the perfect spot for tanning under the Tuscan sun, and having aperitifs and alfresco dinner.

A free Wi-Fi Internet connection is available.

The house has an air-conditioning and electrical heating system and provides all the necessary amenities for a perfect summer and/or winter stay.

The Tower of Uguccione is the perfect place to spend an unforgettable holiday and, at the same time, to enjoy the elegant city boutiques, shops, bars and restaurants.

The Tower of Uguccione della Faggiola is very close to the central “Torre di Berta” square and is one of the oldest standing structures of Sansepolcro (XIII century). It is an integral part of the harmonious setting that enables you to feel like you’ve returned to a distant past. Reaching the penthouse in the old, hidden tower is the culmination of this unique experience; you can almost hear the sound of the brave knights courting beautiful dames.

The apartment has been completely renovated in 2009. It was refurnished with piece of furniture from the historic period which the building belongs to.

All the details have been selected to allow you to feel like you had come back to an ancient past but, at the same time, to access to all modern comforts and facilities.

The Tower of Uguccione, being located in the main street (50 meters from the central square), allows you to enjoy all the highlights of Sansepolcro without the need to use the car.
At the same time, in case you reach Sansepolcro with your own car, unlimited free parking lots are available at walking distance from the apartment.

The peculiarity of the apartment is, without doubt, the extraordinary and spectacular terrace on the roof of the apartment. It represents a unique and matchless place. From the terrace it is possible to dominate the city center of Sansepolcro and the Tiber valley.

From the terrace it is possible to overlook the beautiful façade of the Cathedral and the other surroundings historical buildings.

The terrace is equipped with comfortable deckchairs to enjoy the warm Tuscan sun in a unique and amazing place.

The terrace is particularly suitable to have an alfresco aperitif and dinner while overlooking the red roofs, the towers and the church steeples of the town, absorbed in the peace and stillness of a sunset.

The apartment can be rented from March to October (inclded).

A special place to spend a short time in Sansepolcro S
Le logement correspond à la description, et permet un séjour confortable dans un appartement d'une grande propreté, et très pittoresque avec ses 3 niveaux et sa terrasse. Andréa s'est toujours informé de notre confort, et a rendu notre séjour plaisant. Une expérience agréable et une curiosité, M-Agnès et Vincent

Wonderful Stay in Historical Apartment!
I write historical fiction and was in Sansepolcro with my wife to continue my research. To stay in a medieval tower was obviously a huge attraction. Andrea was warm and welcoming from my first enquiry and could not have been more helpful throughout. He met us on the day of our arrival and showed us round the superb accommodation, including the roof-top terrace! The tower is jus metres from the main piazza in Sansepolcro and a very short walk from the Cathedral and the Tourist Information, among other locations. The property was beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. If we needed anything, we could contact Andrea. (We didn't need to but he made it clear we could.) Sansepolcro is a very friendly small town in eastern Tuscany and well-placed to visit nearby sites as well as what the town itself offers - some wonderful eating places, a world-famous Piero della Francesca fresco and the Aboca museum of herbal/medicinal remedies. I would hugely recommend this property to anyone wanting a comfortable stay in a great location and experience a bit of history too. We certainly hope to return. this place deserves to be booked out continuously! THANK YOU, ANDREA. Ciao.

Lovely place in a lovely town
We have just returned from a super holiday in this property. The tower was magical and the roof terrace even better. We felt like Lords looking out over the town from the roof. Everything needed was provided and we would love to go back sometime. Sansopolcro is a lovely town and there were plenty of places to visit in the area. Peter & Gaby

Ein absoluter Traum
Zu der Wohnung kann man nur eins sagen. Wow. Da die Wohnung direkt im Stadtzentrum der Altstadt liegt, muss man aussserhalb der Altstadt parken. Aber das ist absolut kein Problem. Es gibt genug freie Plätze und es sind nur 5 Gehminuten zur Wohnung. Die Wohnung liegt direkt am grossen Marktplatz von Sansepolcro. Die Umgebung ist einfach nur schön, die Kirche ist direkt am Platz, genauso wie ettliche Märkte. Die Wohnung selber ist in 2 Etagen unterteilt. In der ersten befinden sich das Bad, Küche und Aufenthaltsbereich. Nach ein paar Stufen erreicht man das Schlafzimmer. Und dieses ist einfach nur schön. Grosses Bett, genug Stauraum für alles und einfach herrlich eingerichtet. Alles passt zusammen. Aber jetzt kommt das absolute Highlight. Wieder nach ein paar Stufen kommt man durch ein Oberlicht auf die Dachterrasse. Und den Ausblick von dort kann man fast nicht beschreiben. Ihr könnt über die ganze Stadt und das Tal blicken. Es ist absolut ruhig dort. Wir hatten während unseres Aufenthaltes Sonnenschein pur und haben dort immer gefrühstückt und auch ein paar Stunden faul in den Sonnenstühlen verbracht. Einfach nur super. Wir würden immer wieder kommen. Auch danke Andrea (Ansprechpartner vor Ort), der uns immer wieder Tipps gab, wo man am besten essen kann, oder einfach nur guten Wein kaufen kann. Danke nochmal Andrea. Klaus & Simona

A perfect place to discover Sansepolco
An atmospheric and cosy tower on a charming street with great shopping and restaurants. Everything is spotlessly clean, the bed is comfortable and the roof terrace breathtaking! Andrea's communications were perfect, as was his welcome. He gave us lots of information so we made the most of our all too short visit. Hope to visit again.

A superb and unique vacation!
Our vacation in the Old Tower was excellent and very romantic. The location is unique. Being in the heart of the town and, at the same time, in a so peaceful and ancient place is really amazing. The apartment is very well done and clean. Andrea has been very kind with us: many tips and suggestions for restaurants and places to visit were given. The view from the top roof terrace is unbelievable. Sansepolcro is also located in a preferred location to visit surrounding towns such as Anghiari, Arezzo, Cortona, Monterchi, Citerna, Caprese Michelangelo, Perugia, Urbino and Gubbio. We strongly recommend this place and we hope to come back soon!

Superb location
The apartment is beautifully furnished and the views from the roof terrace of the town are gorgeous - the location is perfect, the bread shop is across the way and the lady who sells English newspapers a little way down the street. There are a lot of stairs and the climb would not suit everyone, but as long as you are prepared for that it is not a problem. It is quiet, comfortable and as good as they get.

Simply amazing!
We spent a couple of days in the apartment/tower during this summer and everything was perfect! The apartment with its roof terrace is really amazing: the view from the top of the building is unbelievable. The place is very romantic too: admiring the starry sky and the view of the city from the roof terrace at night is a priceless experience. The quality/price is very good. I really recommend this place!

A very good holiday in a wonderful place!!!
My wife and I have spent four days during this summer in the “Tower of Uguccione”. The apartment was exactly as described in the listing and everything was in good shape, clean and in order. The owner has been very kind with us and gave us all the information and support we needed during our stay. A very big advantage of the house is its location that is wonderful: just few steps from the Cathedral and “Torre di Berta” square. Exiting from the main door of the building you are in the main pedestrian street (Via XX Settembre) which is plenty of good restaurants, bar, pubs and boutiques. During our stay, we had the possibility to enjoy alfresco aperitifs at sunset in the roof terrace: the atmosphere was so nice that we would have spent the complete night up there. I just mention that the “Tower of Uguccione” is not for elderly people with physical disabilities since it is on top floor of a medieval building with no elevator. However I want to recommend this amazing and unique place. Nowadays it is very rare to find similar and so fascinating apartments. We had the possibility to spend a really romantic holiday in an old charming tower. We hope to come back soon but with one difference this time: we will stay longer.

What to say: outstanding and extremely good!!
We were spending our holiday in Florence when we decided to explore the remaining part of Tuscany. By chance, we have found the “Tower of Uguccione” and immediately we fell in love with the place. Few days later we were there and the best part of our holiday was about to begin. Everything in the apartment was as we expected or even better. The overall quality of the apartment and available services were excellent. The price was affordable. We never had before the opportunity to spend a vacation in a so old, fascinating and peculiar place as the Tower: that was for us a so nice experience that we would repeat for sure. It was really worthy to spend part of our holiday in this medieval Tower. The view from the terrace was extraordinary: overlooking Sansepolcro city center from a different perspective is something to be experienced once in a life. No doubt: we would recommend this place!!!
