Umbria

Our rating & descriptionOn the border between Tuscany & Umbria - near Cortona & Montepul-

ciano

The Relais - at the sun’s court - is located near Lake Trasimeno, facing

Cortona, and at the border of the Sienese territory of Montepulciano.

So you may enjoy the view of one of the most evocative lakes in Italy,

while at the same time being very close to some of the most important

cities in Tuscany for art, monuments, and landscapes: Cortona, Mon-

tepulciano, and Siena.

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 menu that skillfully elaborates both tradition

and innovation.

During their stay, guests can visit our ‘cantina’ — wine cellar — where

they can taste or purchase wine, products both from our zone and from

various Italian regions, and try some delicious snacks.

Other services and facilities include outdoor swimming pool, free pri-

vate parking, laundry service, and bike riding.
