Lying under the Tuscan sun in Cortona
The location itself is fantastic, as the Relais is located on the magnificent hills all surrounding the medieval hill town of Cortona, one of the most beautiful and suggestive villages of Tuscany and Italy and the one with the vastest panorama. Being on the border between Tuscany and Umbria, Cortona boasts a strategic location that makes it the perfect base to explore some of the best sights of Italy: Florence, Siena, Arezzo, Montepulciano, the Val d’Orcia and its lovely hill towns, the wonderful Trasimeno Lake, Perugia, and many other hidden gems.

Ciao Sharon,
Thanks for contacting me, I’m happy to give some advice for your trip to Italy.
The area of Cortona is one of the most fascinating of all Tuscany and one of those I prefer 🙂
You may start by reading my recent article dedicated to planning a holiday in Cortona, where to find useful info.
I also love to cook, especially cakes! For Cortona, I highly recommend the cooking school Toscana e Gusto, great to learn typical Tuscan recipes and much more.
As far as a tour of the countryside with a personal guide, I recommend the tours offered by Serena Ricci, a professional tourist guide, that will help you discover all the beauty of the region.
Finally here is a full website on visiting Cortona.
I remain at your disposal for any other help you may need,
Elena from Florence
