Cortona town hall, a minute from the apartment	Piazza della Repubblica, central Cortona

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.

Appartamento Marri
A well appointed luxury two bedroom apartment in a palazzo right in the heart of Cortona. The entrance to the apartment is just a few metres up a narrow alley, Vicolo della Notte, which leads off the main street, via Nazionale. Via Nazionale is traffic free and is given over to cafes, restaurants and shops, from local food stores to designer clothes, art, antiques and bookshops; a lively, friendly place.

After the few metres up the vicolo and eight steps inside the door, the apartment is on the first floor of the palazzo. It has a big main room with windows over the street, comfortable seating, a dining area and a kitchen area at the other end. There is a double bedroom and a bedroom with two beds. One of the sofas is also a single sofa-bed. Maximum - five guests. Furnishing is stylish and antique; the apartment is opposite the owner's family antique business.

There are two bathrooms, one with bath and shower, one with shower. There are large windows looking down over the narrow street and the stone buildings typical of the 15th Century. This is a wonderful place to enjoy an Italian walled city. Parking areas start about 200 metres away.
