Casa Jutta Grande
(sleeps 6 people, view)

Villa Location
Casa Jutta is located on a hill, overlooking the beautiful Tuscan countryside. A gravel road leads to the property, which is secluded but not remote. The owner lives nearby and the grounds are shared by the guests of Casa Jutta Piccola and Casa Jutta Grande. Each property has its own separate outdoors sitting and dining areas. You can walk to a cafe and a tiny village in about 15 minutes. Here you will also find a grocery store, a Pizzeria, and a hairdresser.

Local Area
Casa Jutta is just outside Cortona. There is a lot to do in this city. Wander through the winding medieval streets, admire the ancient palazzi and enjoy the breathtaking views from the ramparts of the city walls. Precious gold and bronze treasures can be seen at the Etruscan museum. The Chiesa di San Francesco is one of many churches you can visit. Cortona features the popular Tuscan Sun Festival and plentiful offerings of outdoor theater, musical performances, and opera. In the surrounding area you can go horseback riding, hiking or bicycling.

Owner Recommended Restaurant
La Locanda del Mulino, for typical Tuscan fares. Make sure you try their "tortelloni d'oca" . Il Falconiere: elegant dining. Tonino: downtown Cortona.
