Further details for La Stufa in Cortona area, Arezzo Area, Tuscany, Italy
Charming Cortona nestling on its hill, just twenty minutes away from La Lombarda, has much to offer the visitor. Meander the medieval streets, sit and watch the world go by at an open air bar then lunch or dinner in one of the many excellent restaurants. Cortona has a fascinating Etruscan Museum, an Archaeological Park & continues excavating sites. The Archdiocese Museum contains paintings by Luca Signorelli, Beato Angelico & others, but the masterpiece is Beato Angelico’s painting of ‘The Annunciation’. In the summer Cortona hosts various cultural events including 'The Tuscan Sun Festival'. Arezzo is famed for its goldsmiths & its Antiques Fair held on the first Sunday of the month & the preceding Saturday. See Piero della Francesca’s restored ‘Legend of the True Cross' in the Basilica of San Francesco.
From La Lombarda it is a short & pleasant drive to Montepulciano, famed for its ‘Vino Nobile’. Visit the famous wine cantinas, then relax with a coffee & delicious cake in the Art Nouveau Café Poliziano. From Montepulciano continue on this scenic road & visit Pienza, famed for its Pecorino cheese. Enjoy its quiet pretty streets & admire the outstanding views over the Val D’Orcia. Continue to Montalcino, the second richest locality in the province of Siena, due principally to the revival and marketing of its wines. Notably the Brunello, reckoned by many the finest in Italy. Tuscany is without doubt the most important wine producing area in Italy whilst the Umbrian producers have made great strides to compete in terms of quality & variety. Follow a planned ‘Wine Route’ & visit some of the famous vineyards. Avignonesi is just five minutes from La Lombarda and offers tours of its vineyards, cellars and also a wine tasting.
Lake Trasimeno, where Hannibal defeated the Romans in 217 BC, is just 15 minutes away. Visit Passignano and Castiglione del Lago and take a boat ride to one of the lakes islands. Paciano, just to the south, was voted one of the eight most beautiful villages in Italy and after wandering its quiet streets a lunch at ‘La Loggetta’ is recommended. Assisi, birthplace of St. Francis, attracts large numbers of visitors year-round. The Basilica di San Francesco houses the Saint’s tomb and frescoes by Giotto and Lorenzetti. Travel a little further and visit the pretty hill top towns of Spello, Bevagna, Montefalco and Spoleto. Nearby Deruta is rightfully famous for its uniquely designed ceramics. While the ladies meander round one of the many local markets the men might fancy a round of golf. Val di Chiana & Perugia Golf courses are respectively 30 minutes & 45 minutes drive by car. Maybe now its time to just simply relax and enjoy La Lombarda, with a cool drink and a good book!

'Our family holiday last year was a wonderful introduction to your welcoming hospitality & the lovely Tuscan & Umbrian countryside. It has been particularly relaxing to visit in Spring when everything is green & flowering & the birdsong delightful. From 'Fufluns' to Santa Margherita's wax Cortona is full of pleasant surprises. We shall certainly be back! Angela & Fred, Suffolk.
'You have made us feel so welcome, thank you for all your help. We have visited some lovely places but here is a place to relax & unwind - just what we needed. Linda & Barry, Northants'
'Thank you Nina & Peter for the warm welcome, local knowledge and friendliness. Tuscany is all & more than we hoped it would be. We are looking at the calendar already to see when we can return. Vicky, John & Family. Tyne & Wear'
