Tiny room (very short bed!) up 2 flights of stairs. Dark. Plenty of hot water. Clean. Breakfast just adequate.

Amazing location, architecture, lots of great interior design. Super responsive, polite, flexible and friendly staff. Luxurious experience. Just great.
What could be better: tell potential guests that your pool is not heated — ie not useable in April. Finish setting up the fancy appliances: put lights in the shower, add a holder for toilet paper in the bathroom (instead of a plastic stool), add a fan to the bathroom (smells), upkeep so faucets and hoses aren’t wobbling, fix the flickering LED lights. Provide water glasses. Use larger sheets so they don’t all end up in a pile at the end of the night. An in-room fridge that’s large enough to store a bottle of wine or champagne would be helpful.
Bad: other guests were walking around in the middle of the night, and that woke us up :(

I really wanted to give this property 5 bubbles but I just can't so it's 4.
The grounds are beautiful and the service is very good. Host David Papi and the staff were eager to do anything to assist.
We stayed in a suite which was up two flights of stairs with no elevator so, if this is an issue, make sure you get something on a main floor.
It was a lovely set of rooms but very dark. The lack of lighting was a problem for me, particularly in the bathroom. The shower stall was small but adequate but might be too small for a large and/or tall person.
Our heating & a/c was not working and they apologised profusely for that and sent up a fan. However, the second night there was a wedding on the grounds and the housekeeper closed all the shutters and windows so that the noise wouldn't bother us; all it did was make it darker and stuffier during the evening.
The food in the restaurant for dinner was done exceptionally well and we had a lovely (and costly!) meal. Breakfast had a large range of fruit and pastries. We asked for scrambled eggs and they came sunny side up. The second day we asked for scrambled eggs and they came scrambled but there were a lot of hard brown parts, meaning that the eggs had been cooked on a too hot grill.
Overall, we enjoyed our time but I found that the value for what we paid was lacking. And this place makes a good living doing weddings so, if you are planning to stay during a weekend, you may want to check if a wedding is planned for that time.

The time of our lives!! The best of Tuscany.
Posted 5 Sep 2019 on HotelsMy wife and I had recently stayed at La Corte Dei Papi for our 21 day honeymoon and could not have asked for any more.
Upon arrival, we were greeted and checked-in by David, the owner and operator of the property. David was there to assist us in all of our requests (or demands, ha) - without hesitation.
The property is stunning and meticulously groomed. The villa is picture perfect. It is very old world, with small modern touches.
The pool is pristine and peaceful.
The property was so stunning that we asked David if we could hire a photographer to do a photo shoot of us on the premises. He helped us in every way, and even allowed us to use the private ballroom for some photos (which is incredible!!).
Also, the villa is right at the entrance of the old city of Cortona, which is an incredible medieval village, with some fantastic dining options.
We would love the opportunity (and time), to go back to La Corte Dei Papi. We hope that on our next trip, we are lucky enough to bring family and friends.
PS - the restaurant/food was PHENOMENAL!!

They wanted to charge us for laundry didnnot have an iron. Always looking or a way to make an extra buck after you spend so much on a hotel room. No spa services, they can refer you somewhere with astronomical prices. I loved the town we were close to but not worth the money at all.
The ceiling was old and flaked onto our faces and bed sheets through the day and night and was worse when it rained. I wish I could have my money back.
