You will have the chance to stay in the spectacular medieval town of Cortona known all around the world as the setting for the book and movie Under the Tuscan Sun. Cortona is a charming hilltop town, founded in the Etruscan era, before the Romans, with evidence that the town existed as far back as seven centuries before Christ. Now Cortona is truly a gem, with its medieval charm, dominating the enchanting landscape of the valley below, framed on the horizon with soft hills and the wide expanse of Lake Trasimeno.
The easy and relaxed vibe will capture your heart, as you stroll past the countless restaurants, quaint boutiques, artisanal shops and friendly cafes where you can enjoy an aperitivo while sitting in the main square watching people stroll past, just like the Italians do. The town is located in a strategic position between Florence, Rome, Siena, Assisi and the wine regions of Montepulciano, Montalcino and Chianti, making it the perfect base for exploring Tuscany!
