A quiet medieval Tuscan hamlet nestled in landscaped gardens with fruit and olive trees, Relais Alla Corte del Sole has been lovingly restored to retain its original features. Fantastically located with easy access to several Tuscan towns, it provides fantastic cuisine, a delightful pool and inspiring cookery classes.

Rural simplicity blends with period elegance to create a truly delightful country retreat. Rustic wooden beams and stone floors contrast with ornate antique furniture and old paintings. The comfort factor comes in luscious fabrics and there are frescoes in every bathroom.

Learn the art of Tuscan cuisine in the cookery school, take a tour of Siena and San Gimignano or head into Cortona. Return to enjoy a glass of Vernaccia in the delightful glass-canopied Orangerie with views over Lake Trasimeno.
