Cortona lies on top of a high hill in Tuscany. From here one can admire the marvellous plane of Arezzo and the ancient cities nearby.

The city has been built in the so called “art triangle” formed by Arezzo, Siena and Perugia.

Cortona has always been an important village of craftmen and, in the last few years it has increased its tourist appeal. The Porta di Sant'Agostino or Porta Guelfa is the last remain of the majestic Etruscan boundary walls of the city and represent a real architectonic masterpiece.

The ancient house has been recently restored and is to be found above the walls that fence Cortona and overlook the Piazza del Mercato. From here you will enjoy the splendid view of the whole Valdichiana and of Trasimeno Lake.
