Welcome to Cartona located in the Tuscany region of central Italy between Florence and Rome.
Cortona is a 3,000 year old Etruscan hill town recently made famous by the book and movie “Under the Tuscan Sun”. Along with incredible physical beauty and views of the valley and Lake Trasimeno below, Cortona is a magical place to explore.
Imagine yourself walking up, throwing open the shutters to the sun in a piazza, having your morning cappuccino and heading out for a day of adventure. Your stay for one week is at the Casa Comedia a two bedroom, two bathroom apartment that sleeps four people comfortably. It is situated in the historical center of Cortona and is steps away from Via Nazionale, the main shopping street of Cortona, Piazza della Repubblica, cafes and many wonderful restaurants.
Casa Comedia is situated on a tiny alley up a short incline of steps and is very quiet and tranquil. The first floor of the apartment includes the living room, the kitchen and dining area, an entrance foyer and a full bath. The kitchen has the original stone fireplace that was used centuries ago. The original terracotta floors and wooden beams give the apartment an authentic ambiance. The apartment has been renovated and all its amenities are new and modern. The furnishings are composed of antique and modern furniture. The owners of this home, who live in Portland, will work with you to ensure that you have a unique experience not normally available to tourists. They can help you to arrange personalized tours of the area, cooking classes, hotel accommodations in Rome, Florence, Venice and beyond.
Note: Cortona is an ancient, walled hill-town with many stairs, steep streets and limited driving/parking with no elevators or handicap accommodations. Please be advised of this if you have mobility issues of any sort.
Details: Seven night stay (Saturday to Saturday) subject to availability. Apartment sleeps four guests. Airfare not included. Expires: 10/5/13.
