Owner's Map of Cortona
I grew up in this very house in the centre of Cortona and have always loved it with all of my heart. After a short time in which nobody has lived in here, I've decided that I had to invest in my "sweet home" and completely restored it, starting from its basement. At the end of all the works that were done I was just amazed the first time I re-entered it. "That's the right place to let other people experience what it means to live Cortona and its life!". I hope you'll enjoy all that my town, Cortona, has to offer and I am sure you'll want to keep coming back too! Fernando, Cortona, Italy
