Description
Rising at the highest point in Cortona, the Monastery occupies a place steeped in history. Known since Roman times for its abundant waters-a large cistern called the “Bath of Bacchus” once stood here-this place has been a sanctuary for centuries. The original structure dates back to the 1400s, and over the centuries, the Monastery has been the refuge first for the confraternity of St. Roch, then the Dominican Monks, the Servants of Mary and finally the Cistercian Monks. An immense hall, the former refectory of the monks, marks the beginning of a timeless journey. Monastero di Cortona today is not just a luxury hotel, but a sensory experience that captures the soul. Its 36 rooms and suites, once the ancient cells of monks and priors, tell stories of a distant past. The spa, "Bagni di Bacco, " carved out of the ancient Roman cistern from which it takes its name, invites you to immerse yourself in a ritual of wellness and rebirth. But the real magic lies in its restaurants. Gli Affreschi, whose name comes from the discovery of centuries-old frescoes, some of which experts say seem to refer to the Battle of Montaperti in 1260, is a sanctuary of taste where chef Ricci celebrates Tuscan cuisine with flair and sophistication. L'Osteria del Santo, on the other hand, is a cozy haven where the flavors of Tuscan tradition are revealed in all their authenticity. The wine cellar, a journey through the excellence of Tuscany and beyond, with more than 300 labels. Enriching the experience is a panoramic terrace, carved out of the remains of the monks' ancient botanical garden, overlooking the Val di Chiana and now enriched by a plunge pool and solarium area, an oasis of peace and tranquility where time seems to stand still. For those who like to discover the beauty of the area by car, the Monastery also has a private, covered garage.
