“This former Medici hunting lodge is now a magical Tuscan family-run hotel. Retreat to the romantic rooms, relax by the pool, stroll around the beautiful gardens, and feast on delicious Tuscan food and wine. The perfect country escape for all to explore Tuscany. Foodies will love the cooking classes.”

Hotel review

This imposing ex-Medici hunting lodge is run as a relaxed, civilised country hotel in fairly traditional style, and comes complete with an Italianate garden and a large pool. Views are over a landscape of rolling, wooded hills near Cortona and Lake Trasimeno.
