Cortona

OK, this was one of our favorite towns in Tuscany! Can’t always say why one town speaks to us and why one town doesn’t, but in the end, we were totally and utterly entranced. Cortona had loads of charm and fabulous views as the town was perched on top of a hill.

From the moment we walked up to the town’s entrance, we were enchanted by the nooks and crannies between the buildings, the small restaurants and shops, and the wonderful “small-town” Tuscan feel. We spent an entire day doing nothing but putzing about. Yes, we did have numerous “café” pit-stops for people watching as well.

We’ll be back for a long weekend….I do not get my fill of this delightful town.

PS – know which recent movie was primarily filmed in and around Cortona? Answer tomorrow.
