Relais Villa Baldelli

Ottima struttura, non lontana da Cortona ed immersa nella campagna della Val di Chiana. Curata in ogni dettaglio accoglie l'ospite e lo fa subito sentire a proprio agio. Volendo trovare degli spunti per un miglioramento, si potrebbe arricchire il buffet della colazione che, benché diversificato, non è all'altezza di tutto il resto.

Four years ago, after breaking my ankle while on vacation in Palermo, I happened upon Villa Baldelli for an overnight stay while touring Tuscany. My ankle was inspected by an orthopedic surgeon in Naples who felt it would heal on its own with just an air-boot for support. I continued my trip arriving at Villa Baldelli for an overnight stay, two weeks after my accident. The pain and swelling was continuous and I had bruised some ribs and strained muscles in my back as well. I had asked Francesca if she could arrange for a massage for my back and the next day and I was introduced to Rosanna. At first, Rosanna inspected my areas of complaint and soon began to massage the area around my ankle. I wasn’t expecting this as the ankle had an active broken fibula and pressing around the area was very painful. With eyes bright with compassion, Rosanna said through my translator that she was going to relieve the swelling in my ankle which would help to reduce the pain. With tears in my eyes, I followed her lead and much to my amazement, she was right. For the first time in weeks I was in less pain, allowing me to sleep better and move around with much less discomfort My wife and I had only planned to stay at Villa Baldelli for a night or two, but decided to stay for a week so that Rosanna could provide further massages. Plus the charming location, beautiful grounds with a pool that I could move around in and Francesca’s suggestions on things to do in the area made this an easy decision. Rosanna’s healing touch gave me great relief after each massage, allowing me to continue on our vacation for the remaining 4 weeks as planned. I ended up needing surgery to repair the broken fibula and found a great Orthopedic surgeon in Innsbruck to perform the procedure. After telling him of my journey he stated that the therapy received by Rosanna was very important. With all of this said above, what is missing is emotion I felt after having Rosanna care for me during such a challenging period. We communicated as best we could, but she communicated best with her eyes. Rosanna looked at me in such a way that I knew that she’d take the best care of me possible, and she did. I was beginning to worry that my broken ankle would spell the end of my very active life. She replaced my despair with hope, her compassion was shown through her eyes and her healing touch. I could not have found a better guardian angel… We had such good memories of our stay at Villa Baldelli we planned to return two years later but the pandemic hit and dashed our plans. We finally returned to Villa Baldelli in May of 2022. Francesca remembered me from our stay in 2018 and said that Rosanna was still giving massages. I immediately asked to schedule an appoin**ent with Rosanna, not so much because I needed one but rather because I wanted to see her again and tell her the rest of my story and to let her know just how important a role she played in my full recovery. It was a wonderful reunion!

Nice place with an awesome pool area. Even bar service at the pool 😄. Super friendly staff. Nice breakfast - served at the table due to Corona restriktions. Clean room. Wifi not super good - but not really an issue when on holiday. Free parking - and plenty!

A really nice small hotel in traditional - and luxurious - country style with super friendly staff and excellent breakfast, only 10 minutes drive from the beautiful historic center - and restaurants, cafés, bars, and shopping - of Cortona.

We celebrated my daughter and son-in-law's wedding with a reception at Villa Baldelli in early September and it was a magical experience. The stunning house and gardens with views up to our beloved Cortona could not have provided a better setting for an outdoor reception. Francesca and Leonardo were so helpful in the planning stages and they and the rest of the staff could not have been more welcoming to family and wedding guests alike, both during our stay and on the wedding day itself. Nothing was too much trouble and the professionalism of all involved was exemplary. Yet we were made to feet like we were at home. We will be forever grateful to Villa Baldelli for one of the happiest, most memorable and beautiful experiences of our lives.

While we have stayed at far more upmarket places in the area, Baldelli is a place we have returned to. It is very good value for money. The rooms are comfortable but not luxurious. The reception staff really make you feel welcome, and are always friendly and happy to share information. The pool area is stunning, so is ideal for a relaxing trip. The breakfast options were excellent. Cortona is very near by so an easy drive for a visit or a meal.

The grounds and buildings are stunningly beautiful!!! A short drive into Cortona, this is the place to stay. Spacious rooms, beautiful pool, like a resort in an old movie and the staff are soo helpful and pleasant. The food was delicious as well. Definitely going back one day!

I you want to be spoiled and feel like in the royalty times, this is the place, amazing property and excellent service, as well great breakfast, everything fresh and delicious. Pool is a plus, quiet and clean surrounded by well maintenated gardens

A very nice and agreable place to relax for couple of days. Most important is the kindness, warm welcoming and helpful staff like you've never experienced before. Trustful and kind enough responding to any requirement in a very nice way.
