CORTONA, THE PEARL OF VALDICHIANA
Our day starts with a visit of the beautiful town of CORTONA. From its 500 meters above the sea level Cortona dominates the entire Valdichiana. It offers a spectacular view that stretches from Trasimeno Lake to the peaks of Mount Amiata. It is all surrounded by Medieval walls that -together with a few fine Renaissance palaces- give the town an evocative atmosphere.
Afterwards, enjoy a light lunch in a local WINE FARM.
The farmers are two young entrepreneurs from northern Italy. They came to Tuscany to lead this little farm and produce wine. They also decided to have a lot of free-living animals in complete harmony with nature. Children will be happy to meet them at the farm!
After lunch, enjoy a visit to the National Museum of Chiusi. Around the 6th century BC Chiusi was one of the most powerful cities in the Etruscan league. All the remains found in the Etruscan tombs of the surrounding countryside can be seen at the National Etruscan Museum of Chiusi.
