Things to do
A hilltop fortress in Cortona
Housed in a gorgeous 13th-century palazzo, the Museo dell'Accademia Etrusca e della Città di Cortona is a riveting museum, filled with Roman and Etruscan treasures unearthed from the surrounding area. For staggeringly beautiful views of Tuscany and Umbria, the Medici fortress, Fortezza del Girifalco, cannot be beaten. Once you've soaked up the view, you can stay for a falconry show or dinner concert. The Eremo Francescano Le Celle, a Franciscan hermitage, is a short drive from Cortona vacation rentals. Nestled in the woods across an old stone bridge, it's a place of stillness broken only by the toll of bells.
