LOCATION:
Cortona, a jewel of Tuscany, is a hilltop town that seamlessly blends ancient charm with breathtaking scenery. Perched on a ridge overlooking the lush Val di Chiana and shimmering Lake Trasimeno, Cortona offers visitors an enchanting escape steeped in history, art, and culture. Its cobblestone streets, sun-dappled piazzas, and medieval architecture create a timeless atmosphere that feels like stepping into a living postcard.
Originally an Etruscan settlement, Cortona boasts a rich heritage still visible in its well-preserved walls and archaeological treasures. The town's historic center is a maze of narrow alleyways leading to landmarks such as the 13th-century Palazzo Comunale in Piazza della Repubblica and the stunning Santa Maria del Calcinaio church. For art lovers, the Museo dell'Accademia Etrusca houses remarkable artifacts, while the Diocesan Museum showcases work by Fra Angelico and other Renaissance masters.
Cortona’s elevated position provides unparalleled panoramic countryside views, with rolling hills, olive groves, and vineyards. These vistas are best enjoyed from the Basilica of Santa Margherita Gardens or the ancient fortress of Girifalco.
Beyond its historical and visual allure, Cortona is a vibrant hub of the Tuscan culture. Its lively markets, boutique shops, and traditional trattorias invite visitors to immerse themselves in local life. Savoring a meal of handmade pici pasta paired with robust regional wines is a quintessential Cortona experience.
The town’s charm extends through the seasons, from the golden hues of autumn to the lively summer festivals. Cortona offers a truly unforgettable Tuscan retreat, whether exploring its storied past, indulging in its culinary delights, or simply soaking in its serene beauty.
