Relais Villa Baldelli - Cortona, Italy 

Relais Villa Baldelli details:  Relais Villa Baldelli is a real discovery for tourists: immersed in the peace and quiet of the pleasant and abundant surrounding countryside, even thought it is close to residential areas and transportation routes.

If you look up you will see the rooftops, belfries and towers softly reaching towards the west like a painting hanging in the air in limbo: it is Cortona, the oldest city in Italy, as written by the American writer Henry James enchanted by the city.


Relais Villa Baldelli, a 17th century villa, which has undergone indispensable and meticulous restoration due to the needs of its new receptive function, has maintained its original unaltered condition inside and out. The original working water well is supplied by an underground water table, the paths and the trees invite you to rest and find peace in their shade, the paving is in cobblestone, the walls of the rooms are lightly painted with pastoral frescoes and decorated with vintage paintings and printed reproductions. The furniture and the four-poster beds are also vintage. Only the bathroom furnishings, simply elegant and efficient, with hydro massage bathtubs; bring the guest back to the reality of the third millennium.

The villa has 15 rooms now available, of which 5 are junior suites, 5 are deluxe rooms and 5 are classic rooms. The ground floor hall is particularly charming with its decoration made out of segments of seventeenth-century altars. From the hall you can enter the Relaxing Room furnished with sofas and tables. There is also a small bar and breakfast room on the ground floor, in which the antique stone fireplace makes a fine setting representing the history of the villa.

For leisure time activities outside the villa, the guests have an 18 x 9 meters pool, a golf course and footpaths for walking, horseback riding and mountain biking, at their disposal.
