Hotel San Michele, Cortona - Arezzo

Dominating the Val di Chiana, Cortona stands on an olive-clad hill at about 600 metres above sea level. Its origins are lost in the nights of time, said to pre-date both Rome and Troy. Extensive traces of its Etruscan past emerge to document its role as one of the twelve cities of the Etruscan Confederation

Recommended restaurants
