The grounds were absolutely beautiful, but unfortunately, the rooms were not. They were very dark and musty. To cover the smell there were gardenia sachets and incense all over the room. To our suprise the rooms on the first floor were actually below ground level in the back and only had one high casement basement window. When we tried to... more

This trip was a 50th birthday present from my husband and he wanted it to be a memorable celebration. I wanted to experience Tuscany by staying in the countryside in an intimate setting. Relais Alla Corte del Sole was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were overwhelmed with the warmth of the staff and the beauty of the... more

We booked a junior suite and when we arrived were greeted by a swarm (around 20) flies swirling about the room. I understand this is a farm house setting and evidently the rooms windows were left open to 'air it out'. We called for a can of spray and the problem was taken care of --- just kind of gross... more

My husband and I stayed at the Corte del Sole the first four nights of our honeymoon. We flew into Rome and rented a car to drive to the Corte del Sole. If you are wanting to explore southern Tuscany/Umbria this is the place to stay! You must have a car, as it is in a rural area, but you'd... more

This hotel was a beautiful location within the Tuscany area to make day trips to other cities, but the hotel was disappointing. The grounds were beautifully kept, and the views were amazing, but the room itself was dark and needed a face lift. The service was a 3 on scale of 10. The staff was overworked and did not seem... more

If you are looking for a classy, small, quiet, rural and ultimate Tuscan experience, this is it. In an absolutely beautiful and tranquil setting sits the former paper mill built in the 1600s I believe. Everything is here is 5 Star quality. The people are wonderful and accommodating and treat you with fantastic service and friendliness. They know they are... more

This was the first destination of a three part stay in Italy. This section of my holiday was for my sister-in-law's wedding which was held in Cortona town hall and was magnificent. The Reception for the wedding was held at the Hotel, which catered for it magnificently. The Corte del Sole is one of the most stunning rural hotels I... more

A piece of heaven on earth! We were so lucky to have our wedding in the orangerie in the garden at the relais late of May this year. Everything was perfect! The service included everything from setting the tables to sleeping in one of their beautiful and unique suites! we choose to arrange our own flowers and music, but everything... more

My husband and I were married in Italy this April, and stayed at Corte Del Sole before leaving Italy and heading for our honeymoon. This truly is a dream location. We arrived on the monday before the wedding which was held on the Thursday. All our friends and family joined us on the wednesday. The chef put on a fantastic... more
