Relais La Corte dei Papi - Cortona, Italy 

Having driven past the accommodation last year, we decided to book and the whole experience went beyond our expectations. From the genuinely friendly welcome by David the owner to the beautifully appointed room. Not to mention the outdoor restaurant, pool and gardens. The food, wines and service are exceptional, we ate in the restaurant twice both for lunch and dinner in the evening - David and his staff could not have been more professional yet giving very personal and friendly service to all the guests. We cannot recommend La Corte dei Papi more highly it was a truly wonderful experience and we cannot wait to go back.

There are only few - but fine decorated, very elegant historical - rooms in the 500 hundred years old house. The owner - David Papi - satisfies all wishes of the guests. The kitchen is fantastic, a real "houte cuisine" with excellent local specialities. The hotel has excellent wines, I propose to try Brunello, but if somebody can't decide from the extremly big assortment, David will give him the best advises. The hotel is natural, traditional, elegant and free from all artificial-marble, gold plating, etc. We will turn back!!!
