The Origins
At the beginning of the XIVth century, the Chiesa della Madonna degli Alemanni, a very ancient church with an underneath oratory, was standing on the very spot of the hotel. The church was on the present hall floor, while the oratory was on the lower floor. The two structures were connected by a staircase which is still linking the two floors.
Besides the charm of its history…
… the building enjoys a scenic position: its rooms overlook the stunning landscape of Valdichiana, with the Amiata and Cetona mountain, the Trasimeno Lake, the gentle outline of the hills surrounding the city-walls and Cortona's steeples and towers.
Among the 27 rooms, all equipped with the most modern comfort, stand out 3 suites and 6 deluxe, made more comfortable with whirlpool bath.
Welcome to Cortona
The sun beats down with particular sweetness on this last part of Tuscany and in all seasons , it lends discoveries to the spiritual areas, where the active imagination can be tempted to recover, in an embrace, the past and the present in a dream aroused by art and history. The Valdichiana is a lovely area blessed by a mild clime and its varied and interesting countryside is completely unspoiled. The region is also famous for its wonderful bread, wine and olive oil.
On a 600 m high hill, at just few kilometres away from the border line that separates Tuscany from Umbria, Cortona dominates the whole Valdichiana.
