Villa Marsili Cortona

Villa Marsili is situated in the medieval walled town of Cortona, on a site once occupied by an early 14th century church. When, in the late 18th century, the Archduke Leopoldo of Tuscany ordered the demolition of the region's small churches, the church was pulled down and a sumptuous residential building was erected in its place. Over the following centuries until this very day, Villa Marsili has remained largely unaltered.

Now a superb 27 room hotel, Villa Marsili offers guests a fabulous position within the walls of Cortona, with views of the towers and steeples of the ancient medieval town and out over the stunningly beautiful countryside of the Valdichiana, Mount Amiata and the Trasimeno lake.

The guest bedrooms and suites are all exquisitely decorated and frescoed, each individually furnished with period pieces and equipped with every modern convenience. Deluxe rooms and suites are particularly luxurious with spacious bathrooms featuring whirlpool baths.

Guests sojourning at the Villa Marsili enjoy breakfast in the hotel's charming breakfast lounge or, during the summer months, beneath the pergola. Tea is served by the fireplace in the sitting room or in the garden from where to enjoy spectacular views over the valley and the Trasimeno lake.

Villa Marsili is situated in Cortona, splendid town of the Valdichiana; an area which straddles the regions of Tuscany and Umbria. From Villa Marsili the panorama opens out over the mountains of Cetona and Amiata and Lake Trasimeno, the latter just a few minutes away from the hotel. From Villa Marsili, Arezzo, Montepulciano, Chianciano Terme, and Pienza are all within easy driving distance.

Those travelling by car should take the A1 motorway Florence/Rome and exit at Valdichiana from where to proceed on the Superstrada Siena/Perugia in the direction of Perugia until coming to the exit for Cortona. The nearest railway station to the hotel is that of Terentola. The National Airport of Perugia lies at 60kms from the hotel, whilst the Florence International Airport is situated at 120kms from Villa Marsili.
