The 20 Best Hotels in Italy: 2023 Readers’ Choice Awards

"Originally just a restaurant, this Tuscan property, owned by the same family since 1860, has since expanded to offer guest rooms. Located "just outside Cortona," a town with Etruscan archaeological sites, the property comprises a seventeenth-century villa surrounded by vineyards and converted farmhouses. Rooms overlooking the vineyards and olive groves are individually decorated with antiques and modern and traditional textiles. The "wonderful property" also includes a winery and spa housed within a walled garden—treatments utilize olive oil, grapes, and wine. Enjoy "fine food and service" at the restaurant, which offers Tuscan cuisine and cooking classes." - Nicholas DeRenzo, CNT Editors
