Found on the second floor of a noble palazzo, this apartment overlooks Cortona and the rolling Italian landscape beyond. Though it is a little more rustic, which might not be everyone's cup of tea, we think it charming. The balcony is its best feature, and we recommend sunset drinks to fully appreciate the views. As for your location, you're pretty central. This means a quick walk can get you to everything from restaurants to museums. Perfect for immersing yourself in this picturesque village.
