CORTONA

If your dream trip to Italy involves sipping aperitivo in a piazza, in a hilltop village with beautiful views over rolling hills, then you should add to your Italian itinerary the beautiful town of Cortona.

Cortona is a town and comune in the province of Arezzo, in the Tuscany region of Italy.

Perched on top of a hill in Tuscany, Cortona is an ancient walled town with a pretty city center, lovely piazzas, many churches and interesting history and you can visit it for the day or use it as a base to explore other neighboring Tuscan towns such as Montepulciano (45 mins by car), Pienza (1 hour by car), Montalcino (1 hour by car), San Quirico d’Orcia Orvieto (1h15mins).

It is one of the prettiest towns in Tuscany if you are looking for a beautiful Medieval atmosphere and people love it because of its delicious food and beautiful natural position.
