Vasari's Gem In Cortona - Santa Maria Nuova

Cortona is a charming medieval hilltown in Tuscany which is an important artistic and cultural centre. Within the walls of the town, it can sometimes seem as though time has stopped long ago and everywhere you turn, you will see historic architectural gems. However, some of the real highlights of the town and its surrounding area are its churches. The Church of Santa Maria Nuova, in particular, as a centralised square-plan Renaissance church, is a prime example of an important principle of Renaissance construction. Santa Maria Nuova was built by Giorgio Vasari in 1554 and is an example of one of that great architect’s later works. If you’re an architecture lover and have found a luxury villa in Cortona, be sure to stop by and check it out.

Lake Trasimeno is one of the most beautiful lakes on the Italian peninsula. It lies just over the border of Tuscany near Cortona, and dominates the northwestern part of Umbria.

The lake is surrounded on three sides by the hills that are so common throughout the region, with a lowland stretching out from the west of the lake. Olive groves dot the hills surrounding the area, and hills nearest Tuscany also grow many grapes, along with other fruits and vegetables. The climate here is warmer that the other hills surrounding the lake, as they are at a lower elevation. Portions of the shores are covered in many older pines, willows and poplars; many of them over 30m tall.

The towns on the lake are all rather small in population. Some of the notable ones are Passignano sul Trasimeno, Tuoro, Monte del Lago, Torricella, San Feliciano, San Arcangelo, Castiglione del Lago, and Borghetto. Castiglione del Lago is probably the most well known as its the largest peninsula onto the lake and has the largest shoreline by far. The water of Trasimeno remains very clean, with very few large farms and a small population living on the lake it has been able to avoid some of the modern problems.

Planning on exploring the gorgeous and historic city of Cortona in Tuscany with its charming medieval core? Or maybe you’re dreaming of a getaway in Tuscany generally and you’re not sure where to go but you’d like to be able to walk to shops and restaurants and tourist attractions easily? Or maybe you have a fantasy of escaping to a place far from the stresses of your daily life, completely immersing yourself in an evocative and charming destination? Well, if so, our luxury apartment rental, Appartamento Reale, delivers on all of the above and then some and is a perfect holiday rental in Cortona!

Love being right at the heart of things? Want to be able to stroll to the nearest restaurants each evening? To be able to enjoy a glass of wine or two without worrying about how you are going to get home? To have an amazing and historic city right at your fingertips? Well, all this and more is available at Il Glicine Cortona, one of our vacation rentals in Tuscany that is located right in the centre of the beautiful medieval city of Cortona. Sleeping two guests comfortably (but up to four guests in total) in one bedroom and one bathroom, Il Glicine Cortona is a gorgeous stone building with typically Tuscan interiors and easy access to all that Cortona has to offer.

Cortona is one of Tuscany’s famous medieval towns with Etruscan origins and a preserved historic centre that seems to almost have gone entirely untouched by time. It is the kind of destination where one could easily spend their entire vacation visiting local museums, admiring gorgeous churches stuffed full of incredible artworks and lovely architectural gems, wandering the winding cobbled streets and picturesque little alleys, strolling to a restaurant for long meals and glasses of wine enjoyed sitting out in a piazza, grabbing fresh pastries and delicious Italian coffee from nearby coffee shops and bakeries in the morning, and generally soaking up the wonders of Tuscan life. For those who want to visit other parts of the region, it is also a great base from which to explore Tuscany as a whole. The best way to really make the most of your time in Cortona, then?

Excellent 5^/5 Villa Review Rating Details

What a fantastic place. Very clean rooms and wonderful hosts that are on hand if needed but leave you to feel the house and grounds are yours. The pool is a great size and there is plenty of seats and shade as well as an outside eating area and BBQ. It is very rural so would probably need a car (where there is safe own entrance gated parking). We went with 2 kids (16 and 9) and they loved the place which was peaceful and beautiful. The sunsets over the fields are amazing as well. Only negative was the hard beds but this didn't spoil the holiday at all
