Cortona is a charming medieval hilltown in Tuscany which is an important artistic and cultural centre. Within the walls of the town, it can sometimes seem as though time has stopped long ago and everywhere you turn, you will see historic architectural gems. However, some of the real highlights of the town and its surrounding area are its churches. The Church of Santa Maria Nuova, in particular, as a centralised square-plan Renaissance church, is a prime example of an important principle of Renaissance construction. Santa Maria Nuova was built by Giorgio Vasari in 1554 and is an example of one of that great architect’s later works. If you’re an architecture lover and have found a luxury villa in Cortona, be sure to stop by and check it out.

Guest Reviews for Villa Liliana
We have been back a home for two weeks after our trip to Italy and we are all in deep depression!!! Leaving Villa Liliana was so hard!! We (my husband and I, and our friends, Donnie and Betty) have been traveling together every summer for 21 years, and without a doubt this was the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. Not only the beauty of Villa Liliana, but the graciousness of Nicoletta and her son Niccolo. We did not get to meet Ugo as he was out of town, but loved Enzo (the gardner) and his wife Ada (the chef who cooked a fabulous meal for us one night), and of course, Millie (the family dog) who joined us two nights for dinner! Villa Liliana is a wonderful base, as you can go on day trips to so many places and be back for dinner that night. We recommend this villa to everyone, our only regret is that we could not have stayed longer. Jane and Tom
