Experience the Luxury of a Classic Country House Stay at Relais La Corte dei Papi

 

Imagine the picture-perfect scene: driving along tranquil roads lined with Cypress trees, vineyards, and olive groves, medieval hilltop towns and villages silhouetted in the distance, and the sound of the cicadas welcoming you to Tuscany.

This may sound like a fairytale, but this is the reality for guests arriving at the historic country estate of Relais La Corte dei Papi. A secluded country house in true Tuscan style, it sits serenely in its own beautifully kept private gardens just a short drive from the historic town of Cortona.

Owned and meticulously cared for by David and his mother, Gabrielle, Relais La Corte dei Papi is brimming with character and thoughtfulness, from the carefully restored and selected antique furnishings to modern comforts such as spacious spa suites and delicious authentic Tuscan meals.

There’s a gorgeous outdoor swimming pool to lounge by and lavender-scented gardens to relax in, much like in Frances Mayes’ 1996 memoir Under the Tuscan Sun. The small and ancient Etruscan town of Cortona, made famous by the subsequent blockbuster film, lies just a short distance away.

Relais La Corte dei Papi offers refined yet relaxed hospitality and is perfectly placed for exploring Tuscany and nearby Umbria. Here, you can discover a taste of authentic Italy and savour the very best seasonal cuisine, accompanied, of course, by exceptional local wines.
Your Relais La Corte dei Papi hosts can arrange unique experiences that embrace the vibrant history and heritage of this ancient and enthralling land. Favourites include:Venture into the Vineyards
Enjoy a guided tour of the estate’s historic farm and vineyards followed by a VIP visit to its impressive wine cellar, where you can enjoy a wine tasting with the in-house sommelier.

Traditional Truffle Hunting
Head into the woods with a local expert to hunt for the coveted yet elusive Tuscan truffle. Spend a morning learning the art of truffle hunting, then savour a truffled-infused lunch.

Tuscan Cooking Class
The Relais La Corte dei Papi chefs will give you a hands-on lesson in preparing a traditional Tuscan feast, including pasta making and share their secrets for creating delicious dishes.
The concierge team can tailor-make experiences just such as:

  • Horse Riding through the Tuscan hills and valleys
  • Hot Air Ballooning over the ancient towns and olive groves
  • VIP Helicopter Flight, discover the beauty of Tuscany from the air
  • Exclusive Shopping in Florence, visit artisan studios and designer stores
  • Alfresco Yoga and Meditation
