Cortona & Arezzo

This little town perched on top of a hill in Tuscany was the place where they filmed 'Under The Tuscan Sun' movie. We checked into the local convent run by a few South African ninnies. Bloody great value massive room. We strolled through the quaint town exploring the restaurants and shops. The next day we travel about an hour to the larger city of Arezzo. This is the set for one of the best films ever made in my opinion. When you get to the main square you will soon recognise it from the opening scenes of 'Life Is Beautiful'. The weather wasn't crash hot so we wondered as much as possible around this large tuscan town before heading back to Cortona. This whole area is patchwork fields with the majority of houses perched up on any rising in the area. Tuscany was all I imagined. Perfect scenery and some handy wild boar parpadelle.
