Property Description

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.
Hotel Corys is a small, welcoming hotel with seven well-furnished, fully-equipped bedrooms offering luxurious holiday accommodation in one of the prettiest parts of Tuscany. Most of the rooms have marvelous views over the Valdichiana and Lake Trasimeno, the others look out over an enclosed, furnished garden area -perfect for reading or a relaxing cup of tea with local biscuits and delicacies.
You can enjoy the panoramic views over breakfast on the veranda, take a refreshment at the bar, or dine at our excellent restaurant — either a la carte or sampling a range of our local recipes, which make use of the best Tuscan produce. There is a wide, carefully selected wine list, concentrating of course on the excellent wines of Tuscany.
Supplied with magnetic keys, guests have excellent freedom of movement, and there is very good access for the handicapped, both inside and outside the hotel.
The bedrooms are comfortable and spacious, and furnished with all modern conveniences, including satellite TV, fridge and phone. There is also internet access in the lobby of the hotel.
A swimming pool few metres from the Hotel is available for guests. If not we offer the possibility to have free access to a pool in a sport centre at only 3 km from the Hotel.

Local Area Information

A look at the map shows the location of Hotel Restaurant Corys near the boundary between Tuscany and Umbria. There are excellent road links to the Tuscan cities of Arezzo (28km), Siena (78km) and Florence (90km); and the wine lands of Chianti, Montepulciano and Montalcino. The Umbrian capital of Perugia (55km) is a 'must see' and Lake Trasimeno, just inside Umbria a short distance to the south, offers boating, fishing and water sports. If you want to avoid the roads, there is a railway station just 5km away.
Hotel Restaurant Corys is also near Frances Elisabeth Mayes (300mt), widely published poet, gourmet cook, and travel writer, opens the door to a wondrous new world when she buys and restores an abandoned villa in the spectacular Cortona.
