Il Falconiere Relais & Spa, a luxurious five-star retreat just outside Cortona, captivates with its 17th-century Tuscan villa charm, blending Etruscan heritage with family-run warmth, set amid vineyards and olive groves overlooking the Val di Chiana.
The 22 rooms, scattered across the historic villa, chapel annex, and cottage, unfold with elegant individuality, featuring air-conditioned comfort, flat-screen satellite TVs, minibars, and private bathrooms with premium toiletries. Antique furnishings, vibrant textiles, and views of the Cortonese countryside create serene havens. Attentive staff, led by the Baracchi family, ensure thoughtful touches, from plush linens to warm welcomes, fostering a sense of belonging amid Tuscany's rustic pulse.
Dining at the Michelin-starred Il Falconiere restaurant, overseen by Silvia Baracchi and Chef Richard Titi, delights with Tuscan cuisine crafted from estate-grown produce, savoured in a glass conservatory or on a rose-clad terrace by an ancient fishpond. Guests can sample Baracchi wines or join Cooking under the Tuscan Sun classes. A daily breakfast brims with local specialties. Curated experiences, from spa treatments at Thesan Etruscan Spa to day trips to Siena or Florence, capture Tuscany's timeless rhythm with effortless grace.
Nestled 2.5 kilometers from Cortona's historic centre and 15 minutes from Lake Trasimeno, with Florence Airport a short journey away, Il Falconiere offers seamless access with free parking. Indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna, Turkish bath, sensory showers, and a winery elevate the experience, ensuring serene renewal in a setting of pastoral splendor.
