Getting around Cortona, Tuscany and Umbria
You'll definitely need a car. Whilst we are close to towns we are a couple of km off the main road. There is no public transport here but in nearby Camucia or Terontola there is a fantastic rail network linking you with the whole of Italy for excursions to Rome or Florence just an hour away.

TUSCANY: within 100km / 60m
AREZZO (30mins) Our Provincial capital and a charming medieval centre with a lovely cathedral and many antique shops. The Legend of the True Cross frescos, masterpiece of Piero della Francesca are in the Basilica of San Francesco. Arezzo was also the birthplace of painter, architect and biographer Giorgio Vasari who gave his name to the elegant portico on Arezzo’s Piazza Grande.
MONTEPULCIANO (30mins) One of the best-preserved hill towns of Italy. Wine & Cooking of this town are well known all over the world. Much to see. Great visit. Taste the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano.
PIENZA (45mins) Overlooks the Val D’Orcia. It was the birthplace of Pope Pius II Piccolomini who endeavoured to create an “ideal city” of the tiny town of Corsignano. There are many fine buildings and breath-taking views. The English Patient was filmed here. Pienza features fun boutiques and several shops selling the typical Pecorino cheese.
MONTALCINO (1hr) A Medieval settlement in enchanting natural landscape. Montalcino is all about the famous Brunello di Montalcino wine which can be sampled in the numerous wine bars or nearby wineries. The fortress has a wine shop too and magnificent views from its ramparts
SIENA (45mins) Exquisite Gothic walled city – perfectly preserved since it was never damaged in the 2WW. Small, manageable and pedestrian; pop.50,000. Duomo: see cathedral-library frescoes by Pinturicchio. Campo Square is the place to have coffee and people watch and imagine the Palio race taking place. Enoteca - located in the restored Medici Fortezza; stocks 1000 different wines. You can taste or buy at reasonable prices. Parking in Siena: the best place for 95% occasions is the Fortezza or Stadio - there is nearly always a space. There is also parking San Francesco with escalators into town. It is not easy to find free street parking. Beware of illegal parking.
FLORENCE (1hr 15 minutes) Capital city of the Region of Tuscany and jewel of the Italian Renaissance. We strongly suggest booking the major museums in advance. Going by train saves the problem of parking and is far less stressful and tiring in our opinion. You can park at one of the Cortona train stations and come back in the evening.
 
UMBRIA: within 100km / 60m
CASTIGLIONE DEL LAGO (25mins) The town of Castiglione del Lago is a large balcony overlooking Lake Trasimeno. It retains a beautiful historic centre within 12th-century medieval walls. From its Rocca, the view captures the entire lake with its islands, the surrounding hills and the profile of the towns that dominate the landscape, from Cortona to Panicale. From Castiglione del Lago there is a cycle-pedestrian path that enables visitors to circumnavigate Lake Trasimeno, some sixty kilometres long.
LAKE TRASIMENO (15mins) Fourth largest lake in Italy. Great day out, with or without children. Pretty towns all around with cafes, beaches, boating, trips to the islands. PASSIGNANO SUL TRASIMENO (20mins) is a charming lakeside town – the spot for Sunday ‘passeggiata’ or to rent a boat - and features several good restaurants specialising in both lake and sea fish.
PERUGIA (45mins) Significant traces of the city’s Etruscan past are visible and there are a number of important historical places to visit. Corso Vanucci offers magnificent stores and historical buildings & the Pinacoteca, Umbrian National art gallery. By car it is best to park at the bottom of the city in the Piazza Partigiani parking garage and go up the moving staircase to the Centre – emerging from inside the old “Rocca Paolina” Fortress. Central Perugia itself is largely impossible to park in.
ASSISI (45mins) Umbria’s best-known city and home to Saint Francis of Assisi & Saint Claire. One of the highest expressions of religious vitality of the region is to be found in the Basilica of San Francesco, which houses the body of the saint and contains a variety of priceless frescoes (Giotto, Cimabue, Lorenzetti, etc.). Pay car parks located all around the walls.
GUBBIO (1hr) High and off the beaten track, it has the most medieval appearance of the Umbrian towns. Well preserved buildings in pink limestone; spectacular countryside all around.

To get there take the scenic drive via the hamlet of Mercatale and the Umbrian town of Umbertide.
ORVIETO (1hr) take the A1 south to get there. Ancient Etruscan hill town high up on a tufa rock plateau; superb Gothic cathedral & square, it is one of the oldest towns in Italy, famous for its white wines with lots of enjoyable narrow streets to explore, underground Etruscan ‘Ipogei’ or underground tombs. Return via the scenic route stopping at TODI (1hr) ancient hill town and perhaps DERUTA (1hr) for its world famous, prized, colourful majolica pottery.
TORGIANO (1hr) is small but is host to two marvellous museums: - the Museo del Vino and the Museo dell'Olio. Both are the private collections of the Lungarotti winemaking family, who are responsible for having put Umbrian wine on the map. Wine tasting is possible next door to the wine museum!

Every year at Pentecost there is the ‘Spello in Fiore’ competition in town for the most beautiful display of flowers along the narrow streets, windows and balconies making this a charming spot to stop and wander.

- "Molino di Bordone is simply magnificent. We. along with two other couples, stayed in Stalla Rustica (3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms) for a week in mid-May 2018. We could not have dreamed of a more wonderful experience. Caroline Nobile and her husband, along with son Antonio and chef Simona, provided a most generous, supportive, and delicious stay. All of them went out of their way to be helpful, including providing help with train reservations, Mass times at "Le Celle" (a monastery founded by St. Francis just outside of Cortona), and immediately addressing any concerns. Simona prepared two absolutely delicious meals for us, including salad with fresh ingedients from their garden, which we shared in the family area. The setting is gorgeous, access to main sights is easy (10 minutes to Cortona, an hour or so to Montepulciano, Montalcino, Florence, Assisi, and Orvieto), all the essentials (groceries, etc.) are nearby. The accommodations are great, and are quiet and peaceful. All of us are experienced travelers, so we have encountered many different types of accommodations. All of us are in agreement that, if anything, the descriptions provided online actually understate how terrific Molino really is. And, for an extra attraction, even though the villa is officially in Tuscany, you can, in fact, see Umbria from the property. An additional bonus is that the family operates a tour company, so can provide wine tasting and other excellent excursions. If you are seeking the ultimate experience in Tuscany/Umbria, look no further and book Molino di Bordone as quickly as your fingers will allow."
