Relais La Corte Dei Papi

La Corte dei Papi is a true gem and we cannot recommend it enough. We chose to have our wedding here this April, and it was one of the best decisions of our lives. The property is stunning, elegant, intimate, and every detail is exquisite - in both the rooms and common spaces. Most rooms have Turkish baths and/or jacuzzis, making it a romantic stay for couples. However, the most incredible part of the venue is David Papi- the owner who spends every single day on site tending to his guests and welcoming them to his family estate. He goes above and beyond to provide incredible, family like hospitality. We literally cried having to leave the venue and say goodbye to him!! David and his team, especially Sara and Katya, made the whole planning process for our wedding so smooth - every detail was tended to and our guests were enamored with him as well. The food was also incredible- from the creative menu from the restaurant to the exquisite breakfast. I cannot recommend Relais La Corte dei Papi enough and we will certainly be back many times!!

La Corte Dei Papi is a picturesque hotel/villa in Cortona that my girlfriend and I couldn't recommend more. We stayed at and attended our friends' wedding at the villa and have nothing but positive and glowing remarks about the scenery, rooms, accommodations and amenities, and the service. We were greeted daily by staff who were kind, pleasant, and attentive. Staff were beyond accommodating before we arrived at the villa; helping set up transportation, answering our questions, and providing us with a list of wineries in the area that we could visit. Staff were helpful in booking taxis throughout our stay and helped make traveling to/from wineries and the town simple. If you're looking to visit Tuscany and the Cortona area or looking for a venue for your wedding we highly recommend!

David was an amazing host who showed us the property, then proceeded to serve us the most incredible meal paired with outstanding wine! A must when visiting Cortona or to have the perfect wedding or event! We loved it! The rooms and property was immaculate and the restaurant should be reviewed by Micheline!

A Picturesque & Perfect Stay – Truly Unforgettable Relais La Corte Dei Papi is one of those rare places that completely exceeds expectations. Tucked into the breathtaking Tuscan countryside, the property itself is absolutely stunning. ..every corner feels like a postcard. From the beautifully restored estate to the peaceful gardens and luxurious rooms, it was the perfect escape. What made our stay truly exceptional, though, was David, the owner. His warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care for every guest sets this place apart from anywhere we’ve ever stayed. He and his staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and taken care of, from personalized recommendations to thoughtful touches throughout our stay. Whether you’re sipping wine under olive trees, relaxing by the pool, or enjoying a meal, everything at La Corte Dei Papi feels intentional, peaceful, and elegant. The turkish spa in our room was incredible as well! If you’re looking for a romantic, luxurious, and authentically Tuscan experience this is it. We'll be talking about this trip for years to come.Thank you to the Relais La Corte Dei Papi team!!!

A beautiful hotel in a beautiful place. David, the owner, is amazing. So hospitable and creates an incredible ambiance. The food is delicious, the rooms are luxurious, and the pool is perfect. A definite must visit.

Unbelievable venue, attended a wedding and it was absolutely stunning. Superb service from David who ensured everything went off without a hitch. The rooms are gorgeous, very romantic spot at the foot of Cortona. 10/10.

David and his staff were incredibly welcoming and we had an amazing stay. The staff was very helpful in helping us with bike rentals and dinner reservations and the property was magnificent! Will definitely recommend for anyone looking for a getaway in the Tuscany region and the town of Cortona was also beautiful to explore.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel! The room was beautiful and very clean. They even had a hamam feature in the shower. The property is also stunning and cortona is a lovely town. Highly recommend if you’re planning a trip to Tuscany!

Best meal we had in Tuscany by far! Not only is the food delicious but so is the wine. Be ready for 5 courses that will increasingly blow your mind. If you're looking for a little spot off the beaten path in Tuscany, this is your spot. David is amazing! He has created a work of art with his hotel/restaurant/spa.

We went to dinner at La Corte dei Papi. Each dish was exquisitely executed and the service was impeccable. The taste of each was delicious. The have their own white and red wine, we had the White with our dinner and when cheeses arrived we had a glass of their red wine. A total positive experience. As a treat to the two of us, the owner David Papi was present, it simply made the entire experience a joy. Many photos to share but Yelp is having problems uploading the images.

The room, the service, the attention to every detail, the restaurant and the property. I can say nothing but assolutamente fantastico! David was a dream to work with and the rest of the staff is quick to follow his lead. There is no question that the moment you step onto the property you feel like you have been invited into this family home. The environment is so professional and a step above what we expected. The restaurant will make you want to use your manners, but the food made me want to lick the plate! David, what an amazing place you have created to share with us and we thank you and your family. Your mother has to share how she keeps the roses so perfect!

I would give this place more than 5 stars if I could. The best meal we had in Italy by far! The food was amazing and the service and attention to detail amplified the experience that much more. The rose champagne was also so good we had a case of it shipped back home. We didn't stay at the hotel, but we sat by the pool for lunch and it looked so relaxing.

I can't say enough great things about this incredible place. The owner, David, has transformed his home, that has been in his family for generations, into this amazing relais and restaurant just outside of Cortona. If you're going to stay in this part of Tuscany, this should be number 1 on your list. David treated us like family, and provided us with the highest quality of care and service. The food at the restaurant is incredible, as is the wine list, and the overall atmosphere. We can't wait to go back! As for the accommodations when staying here, our room was beyond our expectations, complete with a massive jacuzzi style bath AND a sauna/shower. The maids came by multiple times per day to ensure that everything was perfect. David also went out of his way before we arrived to help us coordinate day trips during our stay in Tuscany, all of which went very smoothly. Again, I would highly recommend this place to anyone, whether your looking for a great place for dinner, or the perfect place to stay for your vacation in Tuscany.

Dreamy, delicious, perfection. This charming set up is impeccable. Our host, David, has such attention to detail. The grounds are beautiful and I am imagine in warmer weather, the place to be. Our cottage was lovingly restored. Beautiful hand painted designs, vintage furnishings, lovely bedding and pillows, fabulous bath tub with spa treats. The restaurant is fantastic. The service was flawless, the food incredible. The night we stayed it was a full house and the evening ran smoothly and so cozy. Breakfast the next morning was a generous set-up of delights. My husband and I can't wait to return next year. Thank you David and staff for a memorable time.

We had the most amazing stay. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a wonderful romantic getaway. The staff was fantastic and accommodating, the rooms were beautiful and clean, and the location was great. We are going to make a tradition out of coming here. Amazing!!!!!

My daughter and I shared a wonderful escape to Tuscany last month. Not only did we leave husbands at home, we left our stresses on the doorstep at La Corte dei Papi. The next four days were spent savoring every moment in relaxation and enjoyment. Even though we longed to explore the Tuscany hillsides, David's little piece of heaven gave us no reason to leave. Thanks David for your passion and your gift to make everyone feel like family. We look forward to seeing you again. Elaine and Meghan

Our dinner last night was the best we had during our 14 night stay in Italy. David, the owner, ensured that our service was outstanding from start to finish. The food from pasta to beef to the fish was excellent. The atmosphere is perfect, we were able to sit outside and enjoy a quite, beautiful evening. I would without hesitation recommend this hotel and restaurant to everyone we know.
