Immersed in the beautiful countryside just minutes from Cortona, the Relais is a traditional 18th century historic residence. This stone country home, lovingly restored to preserve its authenticity has recently been awarded with the very prestigious 4 stars as a "Period Residence". Every one of its rooms have a private bathroom and are carefully decorated with luxurious fabrics and charming antique furniture.
Suites are available - some with a separate lounge area and one with a jacuzzi-sauna shower - all elegantly equipped to provide guests with an unforgettable holiday. This venue can accommodate up to 22 people.
The Relais also has an excellent restaurant where one can taste delicious local specialties accompanied by fine wines. Wedding receptions and symbolic blessings can be celebrated here - the whole premises can be available just for the wedding guests - its elegant gazebo and terracotta pavements around the swimming pool used for dining during the warmer months. This is an ideal choice for guests desiring to combine total comfort with a new learning experience. Learn about wines during your guided tasting at local wineries, or take a cooking course with a famous chef. Many activities can also be arranged by prior request such as excursions to many famous cities in Umbria and Tuscany and educational holidays. Or simply relax near the pool in the Relais delightful garden. When you do tear yourself away, walled Cortona is just 6km from the centre Piazza Garibaldi... One of the oldest cities in Italy, it was here that Hannibal routed the Romans in the 2nd century. Although it has Etruscan origins, what you see today is mainly medieval. In the ancient centre are historical buildings and the Etruscan Museum home to archaeological masterpieces. Arezzo is under an hour’s drive while Siena and the northern towns of Umbria can easily be visited in a day.
