Things to do
Wines and Etruscan tales in Cortona
It's impossible to come to stay in a Cortona holiday rental and ignore the town's long, long history. Local guides will be able to reveal the remnants of Etruscan and Hellenistic tombs in the dispersed Archaeological Park of Cortona outside the city walls. Back inside, the famous Diocesan Museum is a place to gawp at great triptychs and artworks of the Italian Renaissance, or encounter the carved tombs of Roman nobles. Then the wine calls. The Molesini and Baracchi wineries are just a stone's throw from the centre – get ready to taste.
Activities
Cortona's culinary flare
Views aside, Cortona is an authentic slice of Tuscan traditionalism. The streets that fly off from little Piazza Repubblica are awash with antique delicatessens, all bursting with buffalo mozzarella, fresh mountain herbs, fruity olive oils, hand-roasted coffee beans and peppered meat cuts. Cooking lessons with a local are a good way to dip your toe in the region's cuisine – forget pizzas, this is all about hearty stews and pappa al pomodoro. Alternatively, wait for the weekend market, a whirlwind of porchetta sandwiches and stacked tomatoes. No wonder Cortona holiday rentals with kitchens are so sought after.
Weather
Cortona's many seasonal faces
There's no hard and fast rule about when's the best time to visit Cortona. Seeking a family villa with a pool on the Italian hills? Summer's the best choice. There are dry, warm days aplenty between June and August. Prefer to explore the town's long history or culinary character? A spring trip – in September or October – could help save you a heap of euros to spend on truffle pastas and Tuscan T-bone steaks. More unusual are winter breaks between December and March, which could mean catching Cortona and the Apennines blanketed in snow.
Natural features
Clutching the Tuscan hills
Cortona clings to one of the last foothills of the Italian Apennines before the rolling plains of central Italy and the undulating landscapes of Tuscany take over. That means the eastern side of town is given over to mountains that forever rise and rise, clad in galleries of chestnut forests and pines. The western side, meanwhile, drops down to the Arezzo valley. You'll find endless farms and green fields and vineyards there, not to mention the vast Lake Trasimeno, with its islets and wooded shores.
