Il Falconiere  

Tucked into the sun‑kissed Tuscan countryside just outside historic Cortona, Il Falconiere sits amid rolling vineyards and olive groves (Località San Martino 370, 52044 Cortona). About 3 km from Cortona’s cathedral and within an hour’s drive of Florence, Siena, Arezzo, Perugia and Assisi, this family‑friendly, pet‑friendly countryside hotel is ideal for art‑city day trips; Sant’Egidio Airport is roughly 65 km away.

A restored 17th‑century villa that once belonged to the poet Antonio Guadagnoli, Il Falconiere blends old‑world Tuscan charm with modern comforts. Around 22 individually decorated rooms and suites (some in the villa, some in the chapel or cottage) offer vineyard and valley views and come equipped with private bathrooms, air conditioning, minibar, safe and phone.

Soak in outdoor and indoor pools, unwind at the sensory Etruscan spa with massages, body treatments and a water‑and‑heat wellness trail, or tour the on‑site winery and sip local vintages. There’s a poolside bar and lounge, complimentary Wi‑Fi, concierge, babysitting (surcharge) and activities like yoga and a small gym; note many leisure facilities (pools, spa, dining and meeting spaces) close seasonally from December 1 to April 10.

Meeting planners get up to 1023 sq ft of event space across five meeting rooms, a business center and complimentary wireless internet; limo/town car and airport shuttle services are available for a surcharge.

The hotel’s Michelin‑starred restaurant delivers refined Tuscan cooking with seasonal, local ingredients and a wine list drawn from the estate cellar. Enjoy poolside dining and drinks, alfresco terrace meals by an ancient fishpond and a daily complimentary buffet breakfast each morning.
