Relais Villa Baldelli is a beautifully-restored country villa in the countryside of Arezzo, Tuscany, with marvellous views of Cortona, a city so ancient that it precedes the Romans and even the Etruscans before them.
[ local map | map of Tuscany ]This is Tuscany’s ‘Golden Triangle’ — an area with an unbelievable wealth of artistic and historical treasures. Motorway and rail links are excellent, so you can easily make trips to Arezzo, Perugia, Siena, Assisi, Florence and the other attractions of central Italy.
The villa sits in a sprawling, well-kept park of 12 acres, with enormous old trees and long-established flora providing a perfect backdrop. Peaceful and private, the gardens offer an encouragement to wander gently, enjoying the panoramic views of Cortona and the surrounding countryside. Other diversions include the swimming pool and a two-hole golf course.
The hotel’s staff are helpful and knowledgeable, eager to suggest local attractions and sights including horse-trekking (from a nearby establishment) and walks, local beauty spots and the cultural and artistic delights of Cortona.
