Relais La Corte dei Papi In Cortona

My husband and I stayed here for four nights during our honeymoon around Tuscany. This hotel is a very beautiful and special place. When we arrived in from one of our previously visited cities, it was a Monday afternoon and the hotel restaurant was not open that night. Zoe helped us to reserve a table at a delicious local restaurant that was a short taxi ride away. (Definitely rent a car if you can or you will have to pay a pretty penny for the local taxis.) David the owner came to our room when we arrived with an aperitivo of some of their prosecco. The hotel grounds are well kept and very nice for sitting and enjoying the serenity of the area. We booked a cooking class with the executive chef and we handmade amazing dishes and enjoyed them for lunch as a four course meal. Greta helped translate the chef’s words to us from Italian to English the entire class and it all went very smoothly. We ate dinner in the hotel restaurant two nights and the food was superb. I ordered the fusilloni pasta two nights in a row because it was that good. The service in the restaurant was exceptional and professional as well. The breakfast buffet was great with freshly baked goods and the fruits were fresh and ripe. The waiters were always by our side and ready to make any hot drinks or anything else hot from the kitchen. We did use the hotel’s laundry service and our clothing was clean and nicely ironed. The housekeeping team did an excellent job, always leaving our room super clean and looking untouched and closing the outside shutters at turndown. All of the staff were readily available to provide anything extra if we needed. David has done a phenomenal job in training his staff. I feel like I have more to say but this will do for now! We would love to return back one day with more friends and family to share Relais La Corte dei Papi with. Thank you all again!!

Beautiful place outside Cortona. Was there for a wedding and the place was decorated beautifully. The villa has 12 huge room and 4 smaller cottage style bldgs. The owner was on-site entire time. It's been in his family for 8 generations and his land includes a vineyard, so all the wine was from there. Our wedding rented out the entire property and everything was perfect. We had a car which helped in getting people to trains since taxi could be scarce. Also, go to the real town up the hill. Very pretty view and awesome small village

We had the pleasure of staying at Relais for four nights, where we were warmly welcomed by the owner, David, and his wonderful staff. They went above and beyond to help us, offering excellent recommendations and making reservations for both lunches and dinners in the area. The level of service we received was unparalleled, and we felt incredibly grateful for the kindness and hospitality we experienced throughout our stay. The property itself is stunning, with beautiful grounds and breathtaking views of the rolling hills. We stayed in a charming, rustic cottage just 10 minutes from Cortona. As a thoughtful gesture, David even gifted us a bottle of their wine to enjoy on our next stop. Our experience at Relais was truly exceptional, and the hospitality was outstanding.

We stayed two nights in this fabulous property. The room was nothing short of wonderful, impeccably clean, the service excellent, very professional and attentive. The restaurant is superb, from the starters to the dessert, everything is exceptional. The location is optimal near Montepulciano, Pienza and Montalcino We will definitely return to the Court of the Popes. Special thanks to Davide for his courtesy and special welcome

Off the beaten path. Meals adequate but not what expected for a 5 star hotel. No washrooms in dining area have to walk up to second floor. Staff polite. Difficulty communicating meal specifications namely gluten free. Telephone and wifi service difficult to access. Pool looks nice but swimming area is small. Grounds pretty and well maintained. Surrounded by residential area dogs barking at 6 a.m.. If weather not permitting no library or main seating area to allow people to get out of rooms.

We were very fortunate to have stayed at La Corte Dei Papi for a week. David and his staff could not have been more accomodating, they are truly special - 2nd to none! The grounds are beautifully kept and are breathtaking. The food is consistently 5 star restaurant quality and waiters were professional, courteous and friendly. The wine and olive oil are the best!!! We look forward to enjoying it at home on a special occasion. Thank you David for making our Tuscan adventure so memorable. Until next time!!!! Arrivederci! Maria and Joe

My wife and I and some our friends went where after cruise 🛳 around Italian and Greek Islands. It was a final stay before we went home to Canada. We had amazing stay. Accommodations and location to experience Tuscany [Italy] is perfect. Villa is in the garden, excellent local food and wine, plus some historical medieval cities nearby. Thanks for the pleasant time.

Luxury location, the beautiful room perfectly reflects the photos, in fact perhaps even better, service without any flaw, very good restaurant, the only flaw I would have to complain about is the price of the additional packages which is perhaps a little exaggerated and also the price for the massages, everything else was perfect, the place is worth it and the owner was very kind and always present

This is without a doubt my favorite hotel that I have ever been to, anywhere in the world. David is incredible and truly makes this an unforgettable experience - the food is amazing, the surroundings are wonderful, the wine is amongst the best I have had, and the service goes above and beyond anything I have ever experienced. The rooms are opulent without being overstated, and the location perfect for exploring Tuscany. Without a double, my wife and I will be back. If you are between here and elsewhere, there is only one good choice, and that is here.

Little did I know that Relais La Corte Dei Papi would always have a special little place in my heart 💕💍The views were breathtaking and the breakfast was phenomenal as was our private hotel room dinner served by David himself. Our room had such an elegant charm, it truly felt like I was living in a fairytale. You can tell David and his family have worked hard to make this place so beautiful it is truly magical. He goes above and beyond to make you feel so welcome…forever grateful to have met him and stay at his lovely home 🙏 Thank you for the wonderful memories we will be back!
