Nuestra experiencia en Relais Villa Baldelli fue excepcional. Nos sentíamos como dentro de una película. El personal sumamente amable, el desayuno delicioso. Las tortas que ofrecían eran hechas en casa, y los croissants se deshacían en la boca.

La ubicación ideal, con una vista preciosa de Cortona. Una verdadera villa toscana.

Sí creo que deben remodelar los baños. La ducha era muy incómoda y el lavatorio tenía una fuga. Al alfombra de la escalera se ve bastante gastada, así como unos muebles.

No le puedo dar un 100% de calificación por esos detalles, pero un 90% se lo gana.

While we have stayed at far more upmarket places in the area, Baldelli is a place we have returned to. It is very good value for money. The rooms are comfortable but not luxurious.

The reception staff really make you feel welcome, and are always friendly and happy to share information. The pool area is stunning, so is ideal for a relaxing trip. The breakfast options were excellent.

Cortona is very near by so an easy drive for a visit or a meal.

Our Stay in Cortona

What can I say, from the first moment we stepped in we were greeted by a friendly male staff member who organised lunch and coffee for us while he tried to sort out a taxi for us to attend the township of Cortona. The food was delicious and when he didn't have any luck with the taxi services. He bent over backwards to make sure that we got into town during a busy weekend. Beautiful and romantic location, excellent and friendly service which was the best during our European trip and delicious food. What else could you ask for. 10/10! Highly recommended.

Breakfast was a wonderful selection of meats, cheeses, breads, cereal, yogurt, and tea and coffee. I would return should we have the opportunity. I would recommend this location to others.
Cortona is a great hill town and great for climbing steep hills! There were some amazing restaurants, as well.

Absolutely magical getaway

From the moment my taxi pulled up in front of the Relais Villa Baldelli, I was absolutely enchanted. This hotel is a gem in the Tuscan countryside. My room was decorated in perfect antique Tuscan taste. I spent my mornings wandering through the vineyard and afternoons laying by the pool. Morning breakfast was plentiful and delicious and I enjoyed one excellent dinner and bottle of house red. When can I move in?

Excellent, friendly hotel

A small, high quality hotel in a good position for exploring this part of Tuscany. Our room was comfortable and slightly quirky (interesting pictures on the walls), the staff were friendly and helpful, the food was very good and the pool was excellent with superb views. The owner presented us with two bottles of wine as we left - a lovely touch.

Negative points were minor: for our part we prefer silence to muzak; and the range of options on the dinner menu could have been wider, though I appreciate some careful balancing is required to control costs and quality.

We would certainly recommend the hotel and will stay again if we come back to the area.

Mini Resort Hotel close to Cortona, Italy

A car is necessary for the location, but this allows you to get away from the noise and congestion of the old cities. Villa Baldelli is at the edge of a vineyard, in quiet farmland. The swimming pool is great for cooling off, and the poolside bar service is convenient for happy hour. The option to dine in or on the outside patio is awesome, as the view of Cortona on the mountain is a great backdrop. Loved the generous breakfasts, good choices for dinner, reasonably priced wine. Staff were very attentive and helpful. We couldn't ask for more.

Great Hotel for Visiting Tuscany

This was a lovely hotel with extensive grounds and only ten minutes by car outside Cortona. Only disappointment was that the pool was not open and the grounds seemed a little unkept, we would assume this is because May has been an unusually wet month in Cortona and is fairly early in their season. We could not fault the service,staff and the very enjoyable buffet breakfast. We would say a car is necessary if you are staying here as the town is a few kilometres away.

We loved everything about Villa Baldelli! The rooms were perfect, the staff friendly and helpful and the grounds just breathtaking. The food was also wonderful. We stayed three nights and had a wonderful time. I loved the fact that the hotel is very old and has so much history and character. We were able to do day trips from there and its just a short drive into the town of Cortona. Or, you can relax in the garden area to read or chat. We would definitely go back to visit our friends at Villa Baldelli.

Fantastic base for exploring the countryside

It's rare that a hotel exceeds my expectations but I have to say that both the property and the staff at Relais Villa Baldelli have. It is every bit as nice as it looks.

The property is just minutes outside of Cortona surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, it is a beautiful base to relax and enjoy the Tuscan countryside and hill towns.

The staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful and we felt very much at home. We only stayed for 4 nights, but next time we'll probably stay for a week.

We had to make a reservation by 10 am for lunch and if we didn't we could not have lunch. I found this a little strange so if I were the villa I would amend that rule a bit.

Great Vacation Get Away in Tuscany

We absolutely loved this stay at the villa and wished we could have stayed much longer. The villa is located at the bottom of Cortona on a large piece of beautiful property with grapes vines, driveway of flowers, large lawns and a large pool. The rooms were large, very comfortable, and nicely decorated. The breakfast was also very good and typical of most European breakfast. The reception service was friendly and helpful. The hotels has free wifi and ample car parking. Although the room and the bathroom were large, there was only a small shower where you could sit down and turn on multiple jets. We would stay here again if we returned and recommend this villa as a base in Tuscany to visit all the little towns including Cortona, take wine tours and just relax on the grounds and the pool.

Charming, historic hotel on a mini vineyard

This was a truly unique hotel with a true Tuscan feel, tucked away at the end of a quiet road with a view of Cortona up above. Cortona was a 10 minute drive and you need a car if you are staying at this hotel. The grounds are beautifully maintained with a small vineyard. They make their own wine which we tried and it was delicious. There's also a small golf range at the hotel and ample free parking. The pool was clean and picturesque, with beverage service. The lobby was old world and charming while also being sophisticated. At the front desk, Paulo was invaluable. He knew the area very well, was very knowledgeable about wines and friendly. The breakfast was delicious and served out in the gardens. Our room was huge with high ceilings and attractive decor. The bath was also a good size with a jet massage shower stall, toilet and bidet en suite. Everything was clean and well maintained. The small staff was friendly, spoke English and were very courteous. Our four small complaints: 1. Weird policy of no outside food in rooms or common areas. 2. Our bed had a slightly musty smell to it. 3. We were told we'd have a king but got a queen as their only room that has two twin beds to push together to make into a king was occupied. 4. Another weird policy, they won't give you an iron to use in your room, though-they will have the ladies iron your shirt and get it back to you in one hour, which was a treat if you're not in a rush or have lots of ironing.

Cortona country side

This hotel was a small property outside the walled city of Cortona. The villa was charming and the staff was courteous and helpful especially Marguerita and Don. We were disappointed in the lack of internet service as we were on a combination business/personal vacation,it would come and go and was not reliable. Breakfast was average. No eating or drinking was allowed on the premises, a glass of wine outside in the evening would have been nice. If you can get a good rate this is a nice choice.

Best Experience Ever!!!

My husband and I just got back from Italy, one of our stops was in Cortona. We stayed at the Villa Baldelli, how can I begin to express what and amazing experience it was. We arrived at the train station, not knowing where the Villa was, my husband called the hotel to find out how to get a taxi. To our surprise we were told that Vittorio (the owner) would pick us up. Vittorio was the most charming, hospitable person. Then again everyone at the Villa was the same way. Margarita at the front desk when we checked out, was just absolutely charming and nice. The young girl who served us the coffee when we had breakfast, and everyone we encountered. The Villa took my breath away, charming and true to the time. Serene, peaceful and beautiful. Our only regret was that we only stayed there for 1 night, I could have stayed for a week. This Villa and our Cortona experience will be one of the top of all of our travel experiences, and we've been to many places in the world. If you go to Cortona, you MUST stay at the Relais Villa Baldelli, and be transported back to a time when making a guest feel like a king or queen was a must. You will be delighted by the breakfast with home baked goodies, fresh juices, fantastic deli meats and home made bread, wonderful, aromatic coffee that will entise your taste buds to a new heigth. While you are there, please tell Vittorio that Pia says Buon Giorno, e mi manca verdere il tuo bel vise. Ciao
