I'm thinking of renting a house in Cortona in early November. What is it like at this time? Does it, and other Tuscan hill towns that depend on tourist activity, shut down considerably? I don't mind fewer tourists, cooler weather and a more relaxing scene, but want to enjoy what Cortona has to offer (as I did last Sept). Will stores and shops be closed, will it be too dead to enjoy?

BG,
It has been a few years since I was in Cortona in November but I don't remember things being closed. For that matter I don't remember any hill town that 'depended' on tourism. They were less busy but they were towns with residents that still had to get through the winter months.
