Cortona
A contemporary villa-plus-cottage at the edge of Cortona — fifteen minutes on foot to the piazza, with an infinity pool and a steam room.
Villa Tullia sits on the edge of Cortona, recently and beautifully restored to a contemporary style, with wide windows that take in the surrounding countryside from every room. The villa is a three-storey main house plus a separate cottage; together they house twelve guests across six bedrooms and five bathrooms. Cortona's medieval centre is a fifteen-minute walk down the lane — rare for a villa this far into the country.
The wow features are the bathrooms: three with Jacuzzi tubs, one with a private steam room, all with contemporary finishes and towel heaters. Outside there's a panoramic infinity-edge pool, a large terrace with comfortable seating for long lunches, a BBQ, and views across the Valdichiana toward Arezzo. The interior reads as a peaceful, light-toned modern villa — understated rather than themed.

Cortona
The piazza fills slowly between six and seven. A glass of wine from the café, a half-hour of people-watching, and the warmest light of the day on the bell tower above.
Cortona
A morning at a small producer below the town — most of them still under-the-radar despite making excellent Cortona DOC Syrah. Cellar tour, four wines, lunch.
Cortona
Hand-rolled pici, fresh ricotta gnudi, a Chianina ragù, and the tiramisu that everyone fights over. Half a day, ending with the meal.
Cortona
The Museo dell'Accademia Etrusca holds the Tabula Cortonensis — one of the longest Etruscan inscriptions ever found. Smaller than the great museums and far more personal.
Cortona
Twenty minutes by car. A private boat across to Isola Maggiore for a long lunch of fresh perch and a swim in clear water.
Cortona
Down on the plain, just below Cortona. Cheeses, salumi, vegetables, and the cookware everyone in Tuscany seems to own. The shopping morning of the trip.
