TO DO

Location and distances


Cortona is a fascinating town in the Valdichiana, enclosed by a wall in which both Etruscan and Roman features are visible today. Built on a 600 metre-high hill, its elevated position guarantees an excellent view from different points of the town, allowing you to admire the splendid surrounding landscapes, as well as a glimpse of Lake Trasimeno. The history of Metelliano, too, has very ancient roots, as it was the scene of a bitter clash during the Second Punic War and is located along the route of an important Roman road. There are thematic walking and hiking routes that retrace the roads of the battle of Trasimeno (the Hannibal Walk, 14 km away) or the ancient Roman paved route that connects Torreone to Mount Egidio and the splendid Strada Basolata. The location is one of the most ideal for those wishing to visit, with short trips, the two regions of central Italy, Tuscany and Umbria, aided by fast roads such as the A1 motorway and the Siena-Perugia highway. Places of particular interest such as Siena, Montepulciano, Pienza, Perugia and Assisi are less than an hour away by car and other less known, but no less interesting, localities from a cultural or artistic point of view can be reached with pleasant day trips. Shops and supermarkets in the area are open on Sundays as well.
