Overview

Set within a lovingly restored 17th-century villa, this Relais is a timeless retreat where history, elegance, and the spirit of Tuscany come together. Once the residence of the Baracchi family, the property has been transformed into a 5-star country escape that celebrates both its heritage and its modern identity as an exclusive wine resort.

The 31 rooms and suites, each individually designed, embrace the charm of traditional Tuscan style. Serene stone, terracotta, and travertine lend authenticity, while soft colors and handcrafted details create an atmosphere of warmth. From the ancient manor house Villa San Martino to the chapel of San Gerolamo, the farmhouse of Borgo del Falco, and the newer Villa Scuderia, each space offers a unique perspective of Cortona’s rolling countryside.

Hospitality here is deeply personal—owners Silvia and Benedetto Baracchi welcome every guest with genuine care, ensuring each stay feels both intimate and memorable. Beyond comfort, the Relais is guided by a strong commitment to sustainability: certified Zero Waste operations, organic farming initiatives, and the use of renewable energy are at the heart of its daily life.

The culinary experience reflects these values through the “Food for Change” campaign and a dedication to local, seasonal ingredients. Wines from the estate’s 32 hectares of vineyards and olive oil from its groves embody the richness of the land, seamlessly connecting the rhythms of farm life with world-class hospitality.

Here, guests discover not only the beauty of Tuscany but also a way of living that honors tradition, nurtures the environment, and celebrates the joy of authentic connection.
