Relais La Corte dei Papi is situated in the heart of the Esse valley, surrounded by gentle Tuscan hills. The Relais is an oasis of peace and quiet, ideal for those who would like to enjoy traditional local atmosphere. David Papi and his staff are pleased to offer you the greatest hospitality and comfort in this enchanting hotel, where you can sample local dishes and fine wines of the region. La Corte dei Papi is an ancient Manor-House dating back to the end of 1700. The stone and terracotta structure has been completely restored to maintain the style, history and culture of the area. All rooms and suites are each unique in decor with handmade antique furnishings and fine crafted linens. Our private parking and luxury garden with swimming pool are at guests’ complete disposal.

The garden, with a swimming pool and gazebo, gracefully outlines the hotel and makes it one of the most sought after relais and hotels in Cortona and Tuscany by travelers who seek tranquility, relaxation, and charme. During the summer season, our guests will be able to dine outside around our swimming pool, under elegant gazebos.
