Hiking

Cortona is one of the jewels of the Val di Chiana. Wandering around the paved alleys of the historic center is like stepping back into the Middle Ages. It enjoys an exceptional position: it is in fact located at 500 meters above sea level, on a hill from which you have a magnificent view of the hilly Tuscan countryside.

Hiking

The town of Cortona is located on a ridge of Monte Sant'Egidio on the Tuscan-Umbrian border. It was founded by the Etruscans and colonized by the Romans. Today it is one of the most beautiful hill towns in Tuscany.
