Relais Alla Corte Del Sole

The Residence "Alla Corte del Sole" - at the sun's court - is located in the vicinities of the Lake Trasimeno, although territorially belonging to the Siena area of Montepulciano. On one hand it enjoys the view of one of the most suggestive italian lakes and of a nature filled with the sense of a wholly Franciscan mysticism, while on the other hand it is in close touch with the most important artistic monumental landscape expressions of the Tuscan region: on one side Cortona, Montepulciano and Siena, on the other the quiet image of peace transpiring from the surronding green and the silver waters of the lake, assure a serene and fulfilling stay.
The architecture of the village is a harmonious blend of rustic dwellings, the previous functions of which have been revalued and redesigned in full respect of the features conveyed over the centuries, and certain antique structures that had been either destroyed of modified over the years have been revived.
This old settlement dating back to the sixteenth century, but its original centre probably originated halfway through the fourteenth century, when it belonged to the Order of St. Stephen. It could very well have been a stopping point or landmark for religious orders or pilgrims travelling along the route to Chiusi, Castiglion del Lago and Arezzo.

The Relais "Alla Corte del Sole" thanks to its particular structure and its various facets in terms of hospitality can accomodate up to 40 guests; having 19 rooms divided in Classic, Delux, Junior suite and Suite. Each room are equipped with every comfort and furnished with period furniture. Here and there, some precious details such as a fine painting, a canopied or wrought iron bed, drape curtains and soft fabrics, small armchairs and dressing tables.
A real event for the guest is the appoinment with the kitchen of this residence. Even better for the guests; considering the particularity of the menu, the restaurant can only welcome groups of the people. The execution is trusted to the chefs of Tonino's Restaurant of Cortona, whose experience and well known reputation are an assurance of good taste and refinement.
In a tasteful furnished dining-room, in old Tuscany style, in a warm atmosphere, our organisation offers to one's custom a special Italian and international "buffet" breakfast, suitable to satisfy any requirement. It's usually served from.....to....., but it's possible to anticipate or postpone it according our customers wishes, to whom our staff becomes always available. During their stay our clients can haunt our "cantina", in which they can taste or buy white and red wines, produced as well in our area as in the different Italian regions and enjoy our appetisers.
