Tuscany was love at first sight on our first Italian road trip, charming us with its timeless beauty. Losing yourself in the rolling hills, indulging in the rich flavors of Tuscan cuisine, exploring the treasures of Florence, or immersing yourself in the idyllic countryside dotted with ancient castles — Tuscany awakens your senses and leaves you longing for more.

Cortona is a charming hilltop town in the province of Arezzo in Tuscany. This town is full of history, dating back to the Etruscan civilization, and is surrounded by beautiful Tuscan countryside. Visitors can enjoy exploring the town's narrow, winding streets and historic landmarks, including the 13th-century Palazzo Comunale and the 16th-century Fortezza Medicea.

Cortona is also known for its art and culture, with several museums and galleries showcasing local and regional artists. The Museo dell'Accademia Etrusca houses a collection of Etruscan art and artifacts, while the MAEC Museum features exhibitions on ancient civilizations and modern art. The town also hosts several cultural events throughout the year, including the Cortona Mix Festival, which celebrates music, art, and culture from around the world.

Compared to other Tuscan towns, Cortona is a smaller, less crowded destination that offers visitors a chance to relax and enjoy the slower pace of life in the Italian countryside.
