Hotels in Italy - Borgo Il Melone, Cortona, Tuscany

Borgo Il Melone, Cortona

Borgo Il Melone is a gem of a hotel in Italy ... nestling peacefully in gorgeous Tuscan countryside not far from Cortona. Strategically placed for all the major transport connections to Florence, Arezzo, Siena and Perugia, this hotel is the ideal base for exploring Tuscany. Imaginatively converted from an ancient Manor house and adjacent farm buildings, this hotel is bursting with charm and character.

There are 12 spacious, beautifully furnished and comfortably air-conditioned rooms, all with bath, shower, satellite TV, direct-dial telephone, ADSL internet connection point, hairdryer and safe. There are also eight characterful and spacious apartments offering self-catering accommodation; these are housed in a carefully restored 19th-century farm building.

A first-class restaurant serves a tempting menu of typical local dishes served with a superlative choice of Italian wines. There is also a somewhat more informal taverna, where more rustic fare is served and a range of hands-on cookery courses are run here throughout the summer. A magical outdoor swimming pool with a Jacuzzi attached is set in the hotel's stunning parkland, and there is a comprehensive range of business-support services.

Other amenities at this hotel in Tuscany include 24-hour service on reception, a babysitting service, free parking and round-the-clock porterage. Major credit cards are welcome.
