In the city of Cortona (Arezzo - Tuscany), in the heart of Italy, which was the cradle of the ancient Etruscans, the Hotel Restaurant 'Corys' was born. A legend tells that Dardano, who was the founder of Cortona, lost his Corys corythos (helmet) just in this area while fighting against the neighbouring peoples; from this fact derives Corito and then Cortona. Nowadays Corys is a reality: it is a little charming, refined and elegant hotel, with every comfort, which overlooks the Tuscan Valdichiana and Lake Trasimeno, from its 600 metres' altitude. New outdoor swimming pool on the terraces with relaxing area.
It is also the perfect starting point if you decide to spend some days giving yourself to the Etruscan and Medieval art and culture, which characterise Tuscany and Umbria. Situated in a peaceful, noiseless and panoramic area, within a few steps from the city centre, and surrounded by the green vegetation of the Tuscan hills, Corys is the ideal place where you can spend such relaxing holidays characterised by the good Tuscan cuisine and the excellent typical wines you can taste in this zone.
