My husband and I toured Italy for our anniversary last year and stayed at many fantastic places. However, we do not consider La Corte Dei Papi to be high on that list. Upon arrival to La Corte Dei Papi, we were exhausted as we had been traveling all day to get there. Despite arriving after the check-in time, we were... More

This place is spectacular. The setting is in the Tuscan countryside near the beautiful city of Cortona. The accomodations are a lovely refurbished stone farmhouse.

Of the 3 weeks and half dozen hotels we stayed at, nothing compared to this place. In fact, no hotel or lodge I have ever stayed at compares. 5 star hotels have NOTHING on this place! The owner makes the place. He is so incredibly hospitable and warm and welcoming. David was the owner, the host, the waiter, the bell... More

We found David's hotel, La Corte dei Papi an amazing experience. He and his mother are so welcoming, food delicious, room lovely, large and comfortable, grounds and pool beautiful. Convenient to all Tuscany. We have been in the travel business 30 years and will recommend this without reservation. David is now a friend. Frank and Nancie

Our first trip to Italy brought us to this mangnificent property in the scenic valley of Cortona and into the extremely capable hands of David, whose family has owned this beautiful piece of property for centuries. David and his mom have a real knack for making you feel right at home from the instant you arrive onto the property and... More
