Sightseeing
Cortona is a very compact city which at just 18km from the property is ideal for an evening meal or a stroll. All the roads up to the centre of town are very steep but once you arrive the main thoroughfare, the "Rugapiana" is very flat and very busy.
Our favourite restaurant in this area of Italy is in this town, La Bucaccia, but there are other excellent restaurants such as the Osteria del Teatro.

Absolutely idyllic location to be seen especially in the months of April and May when the wisteria is flowering. The owners during the second WW played a big part in preserving the culture of the entire Val d'Orcia.

Arts & Culture
In less than one hour by car from the property you can arrive in the heart of Siena. The magnificent Piazza del Campo and the incredible cathedral must be visited. The cathedral with the stunning use of black and white marble is probably the most beautiful in all of Italy. Siena is very much a "lived in" town and does not have countless shops selling religious artefacts as does Assisi.
Do not pass the opportunity of eating a meal at one of the restaurants which border the Piazza del Campo as their prices are surprisingly affordable.
