We loved our stay at Villa Borgo San Pietro and highly recommend it! It is a beautiful and charming villa located in the countryside down the hill (10-15 min drive) from Cortona and down a dirt road off the main road. It was perfect for our 5 night stay. It felt like it was once a home so made us immediately feel that we were home. :-) First of all, the service was exceptional. We were greeted warmly and genuinely by Alessandra who helped us with anything and everything we needed to enjoy our stay (directions, restaurant recommendations, parking recommendations, etc.). Alessandra, Nicolo and Alessandro took excellent care of us every day to ensure we made the most of our stay and visit to Cortona. The grounds are lovely and we enjoyed walking around them including the gorgeous views from the pool and the outside covered breakfast area where we enjoyed a delicious and bountiful breakfast buffet each morning (homemade breads, cakes, croissants, yogurt, meats, cheeses and fresh fruit). The cappucinos were delicious! The rooms were lovely and beds very comfortable. We enjoyed glasses of wine, prosecco and snacks in the hotel bar located just off the reception area. It is small, charming and intimate. Also, the location was perfect for our day trips to Cortona, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Pienza and Assisi. We also were able to drive up the hill to see Bramesole, the home of Frances Mayes. It is lovely and worth the drive. We highly recommend this villa for your visit to Cortona and we hope to come back again soon.
