Traveler Reviews
 
 
 
Relais Villa Baldelli is a 17th century villa which has undergone indispensable and meticulous restoration making it perfectly adapted to receive guests. Inside the villa the characteristics of a bygone age have been retained: internal walls which have been restored and frescoed, and the outside walls have been restored to their former glory.
 
The original water well is supplied by the natural water table. The trees invite you to rest and find peace in their shade, and the garden paths are all paved with cobblestones. The walls of the rooms are lightly painted with pastoral frescoes and decorated with vintage paintings and printed reproductions.
 
From the hall you can enter a relaxing room furnished with sofas and tables. There is a small bar and a breakfast room on the ground floor, in which the antique stone fireplace makes a fine setting representing the history of the villa. The ground floor is particularly charming with its decorations made from segments of 17th century altars.
 
Relais Villa Baldelli is a real discovery for tourists: immersed in the peace and quiet of the pleasant and abundant surrounding countryside, even though it is close to residential areas and transportation routes. If you look up you will see the rooftops, belfries and towers softly reaching towards the west like a painting hanging in the air. This is Cortona, the oldest city in Italy, as written by the American writer Henry James who was enchanted by the city.
 
Cortona, which can be reached from the villa within few minutes, is one of the cities that best represent the region of Tuscany. Cortona is simply enchanting, with its archaeological, heritage, Etruscan walls, medieval streets and houses, Renaissance buildings and multilingual population passing in the town squares.
 
Cortona, high in prestige and mythology, tells the tourist an enchanting and suggestive story of the gods that founded it and lived there: Jupiter, Electra, Darden and of heroes that were buried here: Ulysses and Pythagoras. Finally, Cortona offers a variety of delicious and enticing cuisine waiting to be enjoyed.
