Monastero di Cortona

Spiritual Serenity in a Historic Tuscan Monastery

Historic center of Cortona, hilltop position

Why We Recommend It

Monastero di Cortona offers a rare opportunity to stay within a meticulously restored medieval monastery while enjoying contemporary luxury. The property’s hillside position within Cortona’s ancient walls provides breathtaking views extending to Lake Trasimeno while placing guests steps from the town’s artistic and cultural treasures. The spiritual heritage of the monastery has been preserved throughout the thoughtful renovation, creating spaces that encourage reflection and relaxation.

The exceptional spa, built within the ancient stone cellars, provides a sanctuary-like atmosphere for wellness treatments inspired by monastic healing traditions. This property is perfect for travelers seeking both cultural immersion and tranquil retreat.

Atmosphere and Design

The hotel’s design philosophy respects the monastery’s 800-year history while introducing refined modern elements. Original features including stone archways, vaulted ceilings, and cloistered corridors create an atmosphere of contemplative luxury. Guest rooms, many former monks’ cells, have been transformed into sophisticated retreats featuring hand-selected antiques, custom-made furnishings, and sumptuous fabrics in a calming neutral palette.

Public spaces maintain their historic character—the refectory now houses the restaurant, while the chapter house serves as an elegant lounge. Throughout the property, carefully positioned windows and terraces frame spectacular views of the Tuscan landscape. The sensitive integration of contemporary comfort within this historic structure creates a unique sense of place where past and present harmoniously coexist.
