Join us in Cortona, one of Tuscany's ancient Etruscan hill towns, with its picturesque medieval buildings and spectacular vistas of the Val di Chiana and beyond. Spend 7 nights nestled in the rolling hills above Cortona, a short drive from the town center, at the luxurious La Torretta, a private 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home on a large estate. La Torretta, or little tower, was designed by an internationally renowned architect, who reimagined the historic medieval tower, converting it into a jewel box home that overlooks incredible valley vistas and boasts spectacular sunsets.

Savor your special Tuscan brunch that Ivan will prepare for you one morning that will include coffee, homemade bread, fruit, a platter of mixed salami and cheeses, bruschetta, and a handmade specialty cake, from the recipe that Ivan's family has been making for generations.
