Relais Alla Corte Del Sole
Welcome to Corte, an old monastic village skilfully turned into a romantic and charming relais, set amidst the most significant expressions of Tuscan art and the Franciscan appeal of unblemished nature.
The Corte del Sole Relais is in the heart of Italy, near Lake Trasimeno, immersed in the colour, fragrance and silence of the surrounding landscape, which emits different effects from season to season and guarantees a peaceful, satisfying stay. Nearby, there are wonderful cities of art such as Cortona, Montepulciano and Siena, which are excellent destinations for those who love travelling through history in search of unique treasures.
Various kinds of rooms have available sitting area and outside terraces in the park surrounding the property. The rooms, all with air-conditioning, colour TV, safe box and telephone, are all different and furnished with valuable antiques: all around you can find precious details, like a fine painting, a canopied or wrought iron bed, drape curtains or soft fabrics, small armchairs and dressing tables.
The details in the architecture are particularly impressive with the history beautifully preserved, such as decorative beams, old wooden doors with their original frame and the stone and terracotta tile floors.
Everything has been carried out with the greatest care for detail, to make every stay comfortable. All bathroom walls are frescoed: flights of butterflies, fronds of ivy, vases and baskets of flowers, curious scenes and details inspired by art history.
At the Relais everything is special: breakfast is a real triumph of delicacies. And not only this… for those who love good cuisine and traditional flavours of the past, you can find here a characteristic wine cellar where you may try a large variety of typical local products together with the best selection of Italian wines.
Thanks to its particular structure and its various facets in terms of hospitality, the Relais can offer the guests at the same time comfort and freedom for a pleasant stay.

Restaurant
Time spent in our new restaurant is quite an event, whether you dine on the covered terrace overlooking the beautiful landscape or in the refined atmosphere of the dining room. After opening the restaurant in the summer of 2005, our guests now enjoy fully the owners' experience in the art of dining, with a menù that skilfully elaborates both tradition and innovation.
Breakfast
In an elegantly furnished dining room, with an old Tuscan style and a warm atmosphere, the Relais offers its guests an Italian and international buffet breakfast that satisfies every need. It is a pleasant and relaxing moment of the day, something to remember and to talk about when you are back home from your vacation.

Guided Tours Tour guides and transportation are made available to guests in order to give them the opportunity to visit nearby cities and places of special interest, such as Cortona with its museums, ancient streets and Etruscan tombs, or Montepulciano, Castiglion del Lago, Siena, Montalcino and Pienza, all with their own monuments, historical squares and enchanting views.
Our goal is to make our guests stay as pleasurable as possible, thus we also suggest specific iteneraries in Tuscany and Umbria that can also be organized through the Relais with an expert guide who collaborates with us. These are daily excursions for either singles or couples, and for small or large groups. Usually our tourist guide, who specializes in the wine region, gets into the car or bus with the clients, and while driving gives detailed information while answering any question or request.

A daily excursion in the southern area of Siena, visiting old wine cellars and tasting two famous red wines, “Nobile” di Montepulciano and “Brunello” di Montalcino, having a taste of the “Pecorino”cheese in Pienza, living the spiritual atmosphere of S. Antimo Abbey, listening to the Gregorian chants and enjoying the hot water baths of Bagno Vignoni.

A final visit to Civita di Bagno Regio, a medieval “borgo” on the top of a hill, only accessible by a high and narrow bridge, will complete the tour.
