Rented a room for 2 nights in a monastery in February and were the only guests during our stay. The caretaker didn't speak English so we got by with smiles and gestures. The atmosphere was peaceful and view from the back balcony over all of Cortona was breathtaking. The caretaker made a very simple breakfast each morning.

A dusting of snow on a flower pot outside our room window was my good morning sight.

The draped window is in a hall in the monastery. I love Italy's Hill Town hospitality.
