Relais Borgo San Pietro is nestled in nature, cloaked in serenity and
embraced by natural beauty, even if close to the main ways of
communication and only a couple of miles from Cortona. Relais Borgo San Pietro is an ancient 16th century farm,
transformed in Relais (country hotel) through
restoration works that have brought back the antique magnificence of
the little village, emphasizing its typical characteristics such as the
stone facade, the inside ceilings with beams, the "cotto" pavements and
the fire places made of "serena" stone, all traditional building
materials of the Valdichiana. The outside areas, with the stairs and the little alleys which,
from the Relais, lead to the swimming pool, the landscaping, the
wonderful arcade of the 1600's, and the antique well, all contribute to
making this Relais/Hotel an enchanted corner of local history.
The Hotel has 14 rooms all equipped with every modern comfort.
Relais Borgo San Pietro is located at the foothills of Cortona, one of
the oldest towns in Italy, with its characteristic roofs, towers and
churches, that make it resemble a painting hanging from the sky.
Cortona is one of the Tuscan towns that best represent Tuscany with its
artistic treasures, museums, Etruscan walls, medieval streets and
renaissance palaces that make it a town out of time; as well as its
famous and seductive wines and food specialties, not to mention olive
oil.
