Charming Cottage with Pool in Tuscany, Romantic setting, Valdichiana

Cortona and Valdichiana location: Other charming towns or villages are Anghiari where traditional hand-crafted textiles and linen are made and sold. Daytrips in Umbria might include Assisi and Perugia. Approaching Cortona (494 meters) from the valley floor, one can’t help nohting its urban form, spread along the slope of the mountain ridge that separates the Valdichiana from the Valtiberina. The location of the Etruscan city and its importance, evidenced by the scale of its circuit of walls, were due to its strategic position within the road network of the Valdichiana, which was quite fertile even in ancient times. Two major road axes traversed the Valdichiana, connecting Arezzo with Perugia and the Valtiberina with the Tyrrhenian coast; Cortona arose precisely where they crossed.

The area of Tuscany lying south of Siena and hugging the border with Umbria is a treasure trove of natural beauties and cultural delights, especially the hills around Cortona, which provide a splendid backdrop for Borgo degli Artisti. Cortona itself is a wonderful place to while away the time, with its shops and gardens, theatre, market, and many tiny squares, which bustle with activity throughout the warmer months.
