Many people visit Cortona for its unforgettable views over Lago Trasimeno.
But this charming hill town on the Valdichiana Plain also attracts attention for other reasons, particularly since it shot to fame in 2003 as the film location for ‘Under the Tuscan Sun’. As a result, it can get crowded, especially in summer.
Italy, a country synonymous with breathtaking landscapes, historic cities, and culinary delights, often finds its most famous landmarks swamped with tourists. Yet, beyond the crowded streets of Venice and the bustling piazzas of Rome, lies a treasure trove of stunning locales untouched by the waves of tourism.
