Cortona
A photogenic hilltop town in Tuscany's Val di Chiana, Cortona sits high enough to offer panoramic views in every direction and holds an unusual concentration of churches and cafés for its size. Once one of the twelve cities of the Etruscan League, it retains that ancient identity alongside its medieval and Renaissance fabric. The wider region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites, and Arezzo is a short distance away.
