Serviced Apartments in Cortona

Legend has it that Cortona was built by a descendant of Noah who loved the hillside position so much he built a city on it. If you are considering staying in a service apartment or aparthotel in this region then you will see why this man was so inspired to create the gorgeous town of Cortona in this location. Being built on a hill naturally the panoramic views of the Tuscan countryside and Lake Trasimeno are just spectacular and on exploring this picturesque region you will feel as though you have been transported back in time.

Take a stroll from your Cortona holiday apartment or serviced residence through the steep lanes and streets that snake their way through the town. Admire the tightly packed jigsaw puzzle of medieval houses and the fortification walls and gates which are still clearly visible. At Cortona’s heart you will find the Piazza della Repubblica fringed by some incredible architecture including the 800 year old town hall and imposing clock tower.

Nearby is the Duomo, Cortona’s cathedral, built on the ruins of a 4th century church thought to be the oldest in the town, parts of which have been integrated into the cathedral’s façade. The beautiful domed Santa Maria delle Grazie is also worth a browse and this impressive church was built in the late 1400s specifically to house a statue of the Virgin Mary said to perform miracles.

A short distance from your Cortona holiday letting or apartment rental, on the outskirts of town, you will find a shady path lined with cypress trees which leads to the Grotto of Pythagoras, one of the most famous Etruscan tombs in the region. This large stone structure, encasing a 6 foot wide burial tomb, was built in the 4th century BC. Situated in a quiet, wooded location this really is quite a mystical place to visit and offers a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the countryside.
