Dardanus, by legend the founder of Cortona and more famously Troy, is supposed to have lost his helmet (in Greek corythos - also the root of the name Cortona) here during a battle with the locals. The area was for a long time a stronghold of the Etruscans and has a wealth of archeological and cultural remains to discover during your holiday. Here too you will find ample evidence of Roman, mediæval and Renaissance influences. The old centre of Cortona, saved from over-development by its mediæval walls, is a lovely place to explore on foot — with excellent restaurants and shops, museums, churches and a Medici fortress. The city centre is an easy, pleasant walk of about a kilometre from the hotel. The area also has some outstanding trails for horseriding, walking or cycling, and guided excursions are available by arrangement.
The refined and comfortable Restaurant Corys offers high quality cuisine, a very big selection of excellent Tuscan and italian wines and an outstanding service, with typical Tuscan dishes prepared by our chef all to satisfy your good taste. You'll enjoy also our tasting menus of seafood and porcini mushrooms. Breakfast and meals are served in the garden that overlooks the splendid Valdichiana valley and lake Trasimene. Guests can enjoy the crisp morning air and later the coolness of the midday shade. Restaurant in is open all week. By reservation, we can arrange receptions for special events.
