Dardano is the founder of our great city. The city's foundation remains mixed in legends dating to classical times regarded to be the mother of Troy and the grandmother of Rome.

10 reasons to visit this ancient city, unique in Tuscany: the stunning landscapes from the fortress Il Girifalco or the peaceful Franciscan sanctuary of Eremo 'Le Celle' or the MAEC Museum which offers unique pieces from Etruscan, Roman, Medieval and Futurist art. There is also a rather famous photography festival.

There is a section in the section dedicated to restaurants and wine bars... but please do not hesitate to ask us too. In the link above you will find schedules, locations, contacts and how to explore our city and nearby lands.

 Val d'Orcia and its jems

Discover our land

The most beautiful valley: a 40 minute drive across the stunning hills between Cortona and Pienza, stopping by Montepulciano, San Quirico d'Orcia, Bagno Vignoni and Vitaleta chapel

this is The two Monti's area: Montalcino and Montepulciano wines are amongst the best in the world

Siena, Chianti and its castels

Jump in the middle age, from Siena to the antique small Monteriggioni till the town of San Gusmè, where Chianti begins: you can't miss Brolio castle and it's wine. Most of our family lived and studied in Siena.

Here's the CondeNast quickest - and most representative from my opinion - guide of what you should do there.

Umbria: Passigano and Assisi

Closer than what you think.

Passignano sul Trasimeno is a little town in front of Trasimeno Lake
which is less than 20 minutes drive from Cortona. Once you're there you can drive to Assisi, famous for its saint and Perugia

Tuscany by sea: Bolgheri and Argentario
 

only 2 hours drive from Cortona you'll find the wild etruscan coast, a must see for wine lovers and hidden beaches. Heading to Bolgheri mostly famous wine Sassicaia

... and then straight to the sea from Porto Ercole and Porto Santo Stefano.
Don't miss the beauty of hidden beaches like Cala del Gesso
