Hotel San Michele
This Hotel is more than just an accommodation; it is a welcoming home within the picturesque Palazzo Baldelli, meticulously restored to honor its architectural origins. Revered as a “Concentration of Cortona’s History” by specialized media and declared a “National Monument” by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, it offers 40 unique rooms furnished with antique furniture and equipped with modern comforts.
Centrally located, a short distance from Cortona’s main squares and attractions. Moreover, it overcomes challenges related to pedestrian zones by providing exclusive parking, a distinctive advantage among local establishments.
In the heart of the hotel, a corner holds a surprise: a 15th-century mural attributed to a Cortonese painter associated with Bicci di Lorenzo, yet bearing elements reminiscent of Masaccio’s art. An artistic testament that enriches the atmosphere of this historically infused establishment.
Villa Marsili
Skillfully restored, offers frescoed rooms adorned with antique furniture and refined fabrics. This Cortona hotel boasts 25 rooms, including suites, deluxe, and more, each a unique masterpiece of period elegance.
The true highlight is the breakfast, featuring high-quality products, ensuring a delightful start to your day. The rooms, all distinct with unique colors and decorations, guarantee a personalized experience.
