The journey to Sussurro in Montagna begins just beyond the timeless town of Cortona, where the road gently ascends into the Apennine foothills. As you leave the bustle behind, you’ll find yourself on a scenic, winding mountain road, bordered by chestnut trees, stone terraces, and the occasional glimpse of wildflowers nodding in the breeze.

Eventually, you’ll turn onto a traditional strada bianca, a white gravel road that leads you deeper into the hills. This is a well-traveled country lane, one that has carried Etruscans, Romans, farmers, and dreamers across the centuries. Along this quiet stretch, you’ll pass a handful of charming holiday homes and a local gem: the small countryside restaurant Tenuta La Scure, beloved by both visitors and locals for its rustic elegance and authentic flavors.

While the road may feel narrow or remote by modern standards, rest assured , it is safe, serene, and very much part of the Tuscan experience.

We recommend:

• Arriving during daylight hours for your first visit

• Choosing a compact or midsize vehicle (avoid oversized SUVs or vans)

• Driving slowly and soaking in the scenery  -  you’re almost there

Detailed driving instructions will be provided in your reservation confirmation to ensure a smooth arrival. Should you prefer a private driver or need help with directions, we are happy to assist.

This journey is not just a route, it’s a gentle return to stillness, to land that whispers stories of centuries past. By the time you reach Sussurro in Montagna, the outside world will feel far, far away - exactly as it should.
