Maybe it’s all about the wine for you, maybe it’s the food. It could be that you are a history buff or an art lover or even an artist. Whatever your focus, the Tuscany of Your Dreams Tour is the perfect starting point for your Italian adventure. Spend 7 nights/8 days in the beautiful hill town of Cortona, “City of Art”.
Cortona sits on the southern side of Monte S. Egidio overlooking the Val di Chiana and Lake Trasimeno. From here you have easy access to Rome or Florence by train, dozens of vineyards, fabulous local restaurants, historical landmarks and museums.
There are over 20 churches in and around Cortona boasting extraordinary works of art. Fra Angelico’s world renowned painting “Annunciation” can be viewed in the Museo Diocesano along with several works by Luca Signorelli. The Museo Dell’Accademia Etrusca e della citta di Cortona (MAEC) features artifacts from different eras including those found in the nearby Etruscan tombs and dating back as far as the 7th century b.c.
The most exciting part of the experience is that you will meet many of our friends in Tuscany who will welcome you to their beautiful homeland and invite you to experience their vibrant culture.
