Cortona is located 600 meters above sea level, on a hilltop position overlooking the Lake Trasimeno and the Appenines. Cortona is located in the centre of a triangle, among the cities which are the most rich in history and art works: Arezzo, Siena and Perugia. Florence is at eighty kms. Here the author of “Under the Tuscan Sun” lives. There are beautiful restaurants, furniture-antique shops and the theatre Signorelli. During the summer there are the beefsteak and the porcini festivals. The streets of the historic centre are always full of people.
