Palazzo Passerini

Cortona is one of the must-see places in Tuscany, whether for its art, nature or gastronomy. And Palazzo Passerini is the ideal place to stay if you choose to visit this charming town with an Etruscan and medieval past.

Located in the heart of Cortona, this small but cosy palazzo sleeps up to 6 people in 2 suites and a smaller double room accessed through the Loggia Suite. The Loggia Suite has several windows with shutters, which makes it very bright and through which you can see the narrow streets and houses that inspired the romantic film "Under the Tuscan sun". The room has a double bed, several sofas with feather and down pillows and the possibility to ask for hypoallergenic pillows. The bathroom is custom-made and has a bathtub, a shower and a double marble washbasin. In the room itself you can sip a typical local wine in front of the stone fireplace, or watch the sun set over the Tuscan hills from the window.

The Residenza Suite is on the ground floor, next to the living room. It has a king-size bed and a spacious bathroom with a large tiled double shower, a bathtub and two marble washbasins. All rooms and common areas are air-conditioned and have high-speed Internet access. The main rooms are equipped with a wireless music system.

The team will make sure your arrival is as pleasant as possible, with drinks, snacks and a welcome basket with milk, bread, butter and a selection of local products. The palace has two common areas: the living room and the kitchen. The living room has a large fireplace, a big dining table and lovely windows overlooking the Via Roma.

Just a few metres from Palazzo Passerini there are several coffee shops and restaurants where you can enjoy an Italian-style breakfast. The hotel will be happy to recommend the best restaurants in Cortona.

If you are wondering what to do during your stay, we assure you that there are many possibilities in the surrounding area. Cortona is surrounded by vineyards, sunflower fields and olive groves. The hotel can organise excursions and visits of all kinds, from truffle or olive picking to a hot air balloon ride over the stunning Tuscan hills.
