As our main site, we stayed in a villa near the hill town of Cortona. Here's the third installment:
The nearby town of Camucia, which is the service center for the more tourist-famous Cortona, offers an excellent Coop supermarket where produce, meats and other essentials, including wine, are offered for purchase. Also, the train and regional bus service runs through Camucia.
To provide ease of transportation, we had rented two cars at the Rome airport. Public transportation among the hill towns is limited, or slow, so for maximum flexibility an auto is required. A local train line runs through a portion of the area, and local bus service connects most towns, but schedules can be complicated for visitors who speak minimal Italian.
It can a bit harried to drive out of Rome on the major highways, but once located, the A-1 toll way (about €10) that ties Rome and Florence is a quick trip of a couple of hours to the Cortona exit.
