A Day at La Casa Cappellina
A day at La Casa Cappellina can take on various forms! We often find ourselves sitting with a coffee gazing at the Tuscan hills for hours at a time! Here, we take pleasure in the small things; the views, birdsong and the smell of lavender. However there’s so much on the doorstep it’s important to venture out at least for a walk to Cortona.
Olive Oil Harvesting in Tuscany
If you arrive in this part of Tuscany in mid-late October or early November, you’ll notice a subtle shift in the Tuscan landscape. The colour deepens, not dramatically, but enough that the greens begin to feel heavier, deeper, more saturated. The light softens. Mornings carry a slight chill and often a light mist that wasn’t there before. And then, before you know it, the olive harvest begins!
THINGS TO DO AND SEE AROUND CORTONA
You could come to Cortona 100 times and still want to come back for me. There’s so much to see and do in and around this charming hilltop town, but the best way to experience it is by wandering around and soaking up the Italian way of life. A stay at La Casa Cappellina is perfect as you’re just 10 minutes from Cortona by car or a 40-minute walk.
