Just below the town of Cortona, a smaller, less rustic apartment is also available, located in a hilltop complex of four houses on 30 acres, including a majestic turreted main house dating back to the eighth century. An ancient Roman road winds through the property, which abuts the very fields where Hannibal's army fought the Romans in the Punic Wars. Olive and flowering almond trees surround the houses, and well-kept trails wind to a cypress-topped hill that overlooks lovely Lake Trasimeno.
