View of Cortona (apartment)

Home description

The apartment is located at first floor of a beautiful family house with a large garden available for guests. It is ideal for a couple with a baby, in love with Tuscany and its fantastic itineraries.
The other two apartments of the house are occupied by my family and my brother in law's one.

The house is on the hill of Cortona, next to the Village of Camucia, surrounded by olive trees, at walking distance from the train and bus stations (7 to 10 minutes).

The most beautiful towns of Tuscany an Umbria could be easily reached by train or bus so it is not necessary to have a car during your stay. We could facilitate your arrival and departure (transfers free of charge).
Cooking class available on request.
