RistoARTE Corys
Well known in the region, the restaurant RistoArte Corys (entirely restored in 2008) offers a la carte menus with a wide variety of typical seasonal products and specialities of Tuscan cuisine plus tasting menus of fresh seafood, black and white truffles and porcini mushrooms.
The skill of our chef together with the excellent international and domestic wine list and our exceptional service all contribute to making RistoArte* Corys one of the jewels of Cortona.
Why RistoArte?
RistoArte Corys offers a new concept in dining, incorporating an art gallery showcasing different international and Italian artists throughout the course of the year. Together with our unique levels of service and exceptional cuisine we hope to offer you a really memorable dining experience.
Dardanus, by legend the founder of Cortona and more famously Troy, is supposed to have lost his helmet (in Greek korys — also the root of the name of Hotel RistoArte Corys) here during a battle with the locals. The area was for a long time a stronghold of the Etruscans and has a wealth of archeological and cultural remains to discover during your holiday. Here too you will find ample evidence of Roman, mediæval and Renaissance influences.
The old centre of Cortona, saved from over-development by its mediæval walls, is a lovely place to explore on foot — with excellent restaurants and shops, museums, churches and a Medici fortress. The city centre is an easy, pleasant walk of about a kilometre from the hotel. The area also has some outstanding trails for horseriding, walking or cycling, and guided excursions are available by arrangement.

There are excellent road links to the Tuscan cities of Arezzo (28km), Siena
(78km) and Florence (90km); and the wine lands of Chianti, Montepulciano and
Montalcino. The Umbrian capital of Perugia (55km) is a 'must see' and Lake
Trasimeno, just inside Umbria a short distance to the south, offers boating,
fishing and water sports. If you want to avoid the roads, there is a railway
station just 10km away.
