One-Week Stay at Antica Cortona in Tuscany
 You will enjoy a week in a fully furnished condominium unit at the beautiful Antica Corona. The “Cloister of Cortona” has been renovated according to the architectural characteristics of the time, and provides all types of modern comforts. The middle age world is still living here: the time seems to have stopped in this unreal place, suitable for a relaxing holiday in Tuscany. One of the most beautiful and ancient churches in the valley of Arezzo is San Michele church, called simply the church of Sant’Angelo of Cortona. It is set in the cloister, like a rare diamond of precious brilliant cut and brightness. The origins of this church are old. In the IV-V century a roman road led to the church. This road is still visible along the cloister of Cortona.
