Stay in historical residence Cortona Tuscany
Spending a stay in a historical residence in Cortona, Tuscany, means stepping back in time while being enveloped by unique atmospheres and sensations.
Just as it happens with Monastero di Cortona Hotel & Spa, a 5-star hotel that was born in the highest point of the village.
The Monastery, a place known since Roman times for its abundant waters, housed “Bagno di Bacco,” a large cistern.
The original structure came into being during the 15th century and became a refuge for the Confraternity of San Rocco, the Dominican Monks, the Servants of Mary and finally the Cistercian Monks.

The original spaces, together with the architectural structure, have been preserved giving life to a 5-star hotel rich in comforts and services but capable of conveying all the sensations of a bygone era.
The former refectory of the friars today is a large hall that leads us to interconnected staircases and corridors witnessing the sacredness of the past.
The charm of Monastero di Cortona Hotel & Spa also lies in the irregular windows, which tell of different historical moments, and in the enchanting frescoes now restored.

Today Il Monastero di Cortona is a luxury hotel, with rooms and suites converted from the old cells of the monks and priors.
The ancient Roman cistern has been transformed into the modern “Bagni di Bacco” spa, a location of well-being and harmony.
Inside the Monastery there are numerous centuries-old frescoes, some of which seem to refer to the Battle of Montaperti in 1260. Today we can admire them in the hall of “Gli Affreschi” Restaurant, a temple of haute cuisine.
The journey through history and time continues with the rooms where the Osteria del Santo and the Cantina now stand.
We then move outside: what was the botanical garden of the friars now houses a panoramic terrace overlooking the Val di Chiana, a swimming pool and a solarium area.
