Il Nascondiglio Small town house with 2 rooms, bathroom and courtyard.

Cortona is a hill town in eastern Tuscany, close to the border with Umbria. The walled town is essentially unchanged in appearance since the streets and palazzi were finished in the fifteenth century. Large areas are reserved for pedestrians throughout the day making a restful though busy atmosphere. It is packed with cafes spilling out onto the many piazze and the main street, via Nazionale, with its many shops and galleries. The Etruscan museum has priceless artifacts going back to the pre-Roman origins of Cortona and the surrounding area. The main art museum has the "Annunciation" by Fra Angelico and other paintings of Cortonese artists particularly Luca Signorelli.

A regular bus service links Cortona to the rail station on a mainline to Florence, Rome as well as Perugia, Arezzo, Assisi, and Orvieto. Siena is 50 miles to the west on a good road. From the Piazza Garibaldi the view takes in Lake Trasimeno and the hills of Montepulciano (Vino Nobile) and Pienza. The A1 autostrada is 20 minutes away.
