This private day trip features Cortona, one of the

cities in Tuscany. As you follow Cortona’s
meandering medieval walls, you will be treated
to magnificent views of vineyards, olive groves
and Lake Trasimeno. As you explore Cortona’s
charming medieval streets, it will be clear
why it was chosen as the setting for the movie
“Under The Tuscan Sun,” The town is also known
as the birthplace of the Renaissance painter
Luca Signorelli.
You will next visit Trasimeno Lake, the fourth
largest in Italy. The lake is historic as the
site of Hannibal’s victory over the Romans
in 247 B.C. You will also make a stop in Passignano,
by the lakeshore, for a tasty lunch of freshly-caught
lake fish. Time permitting, you
can take an optional ferry to the islands situated
in the lake itself.
