TOUR BEGINS – CORTONA
We are located near Cortona; 2.5 hours by regional train from the main train station in Rome (Roma Termini) and 1.5 hours by regional train from the main train station in Florence (Santa Maria Novella).
PRIVATE TRANSFERS TO AND FROM THE VILLA:
Please contact us for prices.
TRAIN TRAVEL TO THE VILLA:
If you are already in Italy connection to either Roma Termini or Firenze Santa Maria Novella train stations is easily accessible via other train stations.
Either of these two major cities are a good option for your arrival into Italy and then travel to our location. We will meet you at our local train station Camucia-Cortona and will transfer you, via vehicle to the villa, which is a short drive into the countryside.
Arrival from Rome Airport:
Arrival from Florence Airport:
Located in the valley, near the historical centre of Cortona (approx. 10km), the accommodation, a Tuscan villa with old world rustic charm, is your home base for the duration of the tour. Unpack, settle in to your own private apartment and commence your Tuscan experience.
Set on wonderful grounds with a spectacular pool and all modern facilities, including laundry, it overlooks the Val di Chiana and the historical centre of Cortona. On your tour free days take advantage of the country setting, pick fruit from the trees, stroll through the lush Italian countryside or simply enjoy reading a book by the pool under the Tuscan sun.
Nothing compares to the beauty of the landscape of Tuscany. We enjoyed the uniqueness of each city on our itinerary. We also enjoyed our free days where we had an option to remain at the villa, spend part of the day in Cortona, or take a train to a city of our choice. But the highlight was Ines & Monique, our tour guides, who were kind, knowledgeable, eager to please, exceptionally genuine women who made us feel welcome from the moment we met. If Tuscany is on your bucket list, consider Tours of Tuscany.

My expectations were high because of the location and after looking at your website – but this experience far exceeded what I had hoped for.
‘Tours of Tuscany’ do it very well, their Italian heritage shines through. Ines and her daughter Monique are both very professional, but also warm and friendly. They are there to please and nothing is too much trouble. They know the area and their choice of towns to visit is perfect and their choice of restaurants did not disappoint. As a single traveller I also had lots of laughs with the other tour members. I wish my week was just starting because the last one was sensational.
