Monastero di Cortona
Rising at the highest point of Cortona, the Monastery occupies a place steeped in history. Known since Roman times for its abundant waters – a large cistern once stood here, known as the “Bath of Bacchus” – this site has been a sanctuary for centuries.
The building itself, adjacent to the ancient Church of Sant’Antonio, now closed for worship, dates back to the 14th century and has witnessed a fascinating evolution.
The original structure dates back to the 1400s, and over the centuries, the Monastery served as a refuge first for the Confraternity of San Rocco, devoted to caring for the sick, then for the Dominican Monks, the Servants of Mary, and finally the Cistercian Monks who established a college within its walls.
Today, the Monastery’s complex architecture tells this story. A vast hall, the former refectory of the friars, marks the beginning of a timeless journey. Interconnected corridors and staircases reveal spaces that were once sacred. Irregular windows, each a witness to a different era, now frame breathtaking views. Frescoes restored to their ancient splendor invite you to be enchanted.

Today, the Monastery of Cortona is not just a luxury hotel, but a sensory experience that captures the soul.
Its 36 rooms and suites, once the ancient cells of friars and priors, tell stories of a distant past.
The Spa, “Bagni di Bacco”, created within the ancient Roman cistern from which it takes its name, invites guests to immerse themselves in a ritual of wellness and renewal.
But the true magic lies in its restaurants.
An Enchanting Gastronomic Experience
“Gli Affreschi”, named after the discovery of centuries-old frescoes, some of which, according to experts, appear to reference the Battle of Montaperti in 1260, is a sanctuary of flavor where Chef Ricci celebrates Tuscan cuisine with creativity and elegance.
L’Osteria del Santo, on the other hand, is a welcoming retreat where the authentic flavors of Tuscan tradition are revealed in all their depth.
The Wine Cellar offers a journey through the finest Tuscan labels and beyond, with over 300 selections.
Enhancing the experience, a panoramic terrace, built over the remains of the friars’ old botanical garden, offers views of the Val di Chiana and is now enriched with a cooling pool and sunbathing area—an oasis of peace and tranquility where time seems to stand still.
For those who love to explore the beauty of the region by car, the Monastery also offers a private, covered garage.
Its strategic location makes it easy to visit the main tourist destinations nearby: Arezzo, Siena, and the Chianti region.
