Cortona hills:
The villa is located in the hills above the romantic village of Cortona. 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 the villa. 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. Other charming towns within a short drive include Cetona, Montalcino, Montepulciano, Pienza, Siena, and the tiny village of Anghiari where traditional hand-crafted textiles and linen are made and sold. Daytrips in Umbria might include Assisi and Perugia, and the tiny village of Deruta, famous for its pottery. Visits to nearby vineyards are a treat, and golf, windsurfing, sailing, skydiving, balloon rides, hiking and biking.
