Tuscany has it all - seaside and countryside, food and wine, cities and small towns. The beautiful Cortona countryside is quintessentially Italian, with rolling hills, cypress trees, and lovely vineyards. Tuscany is famous for its food and wine, and thanks to the abundance of the local sangiovese grapes, known for its Chianti, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Brunello di Montalcino.
The region is considered the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. Cortona museums house world-class art and the main piazza, Piazza della Repubblica, has a wonderful ambience and forms the focal centre of the town. The highest point on the hill of Cortona is dominated by a huge Medicean fort providing a stunning view of the town and the entire Val' di Chiana. You?ll feel as if you?ve stepped into a postcard of the Italian countryside.
Private Villa in Tuscany
Enjoy a 7-night stay for up to four people in a 2-bedroom, 3-bath villa in the Cortona countryside, including daily chef-prepared breakfast. Surrounded by olive groves and overlooking the peaceful valley of Val' di Chiana, you?ll experience the best of both worlds with an ideal location for a private getaway within a short distance to the town of Cortona. The outdoor terrace offers beautiful views and a perfect spot for barbecues and dining al fresco. The garden and private swimming pool allow guests to relax under the Tuscan sun.
