Villa Marsili

Cortona, a picturesque walled city in Tuscany, is a favorite with tourists. On the main road that wraps around the east side of the city, the Villa Marsili has the advantages of parking facilities and of being easy to find, and is within walking distance of the center of town. A gated entrance leads into the front courtyard of this handsome yellow villa accented by dark-green shutters and beds of colorful flowers. Inside, the villa has been totally remodeled into a deluxe hotel with every modern amenity. The well-trained staff is very welcoming and gracious. The management is happy to help you plan your excursions and they even offer cooking classes. The bedrooms are all tastefully decorated and have all the comforts and appointments of a first-class hotel. Throughout the hotel a quiet, refined ambiance prevails, with soft colors enhanced by antique furniture and ceilings adorned by frescoes. Breakfast is a wonderful buffet of Tuscan specialties. There is no restaurant, but guests can enjoy a complimentary aperitif on the garden terrace with a view of the Val di Chiana valley and Lake Trasimeno before walking to a rich selection of restaurants.
