Casa
del'Artiste is located in Cortona, the historic Tuscan hill town immortalized in Francis Mayes' bestselling book "Under the
Tuscan Sun". Rich in ancient and medieval history and architecture, Cortona is also host to innumerable festivals celebrating
regional culture, cooking, dance, music and art. Situated midway between Florence and Rome, Cortona is an ideal location for
exploring (through day trips) all that Tuscany and Umbria have to offer. The cities/towns of Siena, Florence, Perugia, Montepucciano,
Pienza and the world famous antique market at Arezzo are more of less than an hour away by train or car and Rome is less than
two hours away. A plethora of notable vineyards, monasteries, Etruscan tombs and other historic sites lie in the nearby countryside.
Hiking and biking trails crisscross the nearby hills, leading to ancient Etruscan ruins and enchanted medieval villages where
you can picnic and savor the essence of the romantic Tuscan countryside. Cortona is a lively, magical village and the ideal
place for a romantic getaway or family vacation. A dream come true for those who wish to experience the authenticity of Italian
country life, it's a place to meet friends in the Piazza, immerse yourself in local history, art and culture, watch movies
and opera under the stars ... or simply sip cappuccino and watch the world go by.
