Cortona

Cortona, perched atop the hillside with churches and olive groups spilling down to the countryside of Piazzano, and Pergo, is a jewel. An embarassment of riches for a charming hilltown, Cortona, can be enjoyed for days. With the magical and mystical monastery of St. Francis' Le Celle, to the Etruscan Tombs, that only seem real in a 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' movie. From the forests of Chestnuts, and Porcini mushrooms, to the abundant wine and olive groves, Cortona is a treasure and we will uncover some of these treasures in our journey here.
