Location

The most convenient airport is Florence Airport, Peretola (FLR). From the U.S., you'll connect via Paris, London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt or another major European city. There are also flights into Pisa's Galileo Galilei Airport and Rome's Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci Airport, both of which are about two hours away.

From Florence, you'll drive about 90 minutes to reach your hotel. You'll likely want to rent a car in order to explore the vast countryside. La Corte dei Papi has an on-site rental car desk, and club partner Avis is always happy to help. If you prefer private transportation service, just let your concierge know. Even better, La Corte dei Papi is about 50 minutes to one hour and 45 minutes away from our Inspirato Residences in Tuscany, making the hotel an excellent choice for a multi-stop vacation in one of Italy's finest destinations.

La Corte dei Papi doesn't seem like it knows what it wants to be -- luxury hotel or rural limited service bed and breakfast.

Things started on arrival. Narrow driveway where the first turn is to someones residence; no signage at all on where to go. Did I make wrong turn? At check in, we seemed to be the only persons there; all lights were off. We accepted the offer to have luggage brought over from the convenient parking area. An hour later we checked on where the bags were and they showed up about 10 minutes later.

La Corte dei Papi is off the beaten path; about 10 minutes to the Cortona parking lots (for which they had no maps; just an impossible to read print out from Google). A rental car (beware the speed cameras seemingly everywhere and frequently changing speed limits, which no Italians seem to abide by -- they know where the cameras are) or likely pricy cab rides are a necessity.

Similarly, there were no written insights provided (e.g., how to get from parking lot to escalators; and to carry a lot of coins for parking charges with incredibly frustrating meters; use the flag hieroglyphic to change language and feed the coins fast or it will cut you off; credit card supposedly taken but didn't work for us) though the staff had good suggestions about restaurants and the e-bike tour with Roberto was terrific; highly recommended though pricy.

The location is okay, with some other houses and agricultural fields in back but no inviting public spaces (though there is a large swimming pool in an enclosed area).

The room was tremendously large by European standards and well appointed, though the Empire style furntiture is not terrifically usable. But the room was missing many of the little essentials. There was a refridgerator / mini bar -- but no wine opener (after a trip to the desk one was finally found that I could "borrow" for a short time -- the server took it back after one use), glasses or small plates. Or cream for the in room coffee. On a hot day, the HVAC would definitely struggle to keep the room cool.

Our stay was acceptable but not the usual Inspirato fine touches and high level of service.

just keeps getting better

We first discovered this 16 room gem with Inspirato in 2016. This is our third visit, and it keeps getting better. David Papi is the owner of this property that has been in his family for 8 generations. The pride certainly shows! The pool has been completely renovated and it is a perfect place for uncrowded relaxing. The place is so warm and inviting that we struck up conversations with other dining guests easily. The quality of the meals is first rate. I hope this property remains in the Inspirato portfolio; so that other members can discover. We certainly will be returning. It’s like being welcomed back into a family home.

Most memorable stay in Italy!

Our 4 night stay was very fulfilling and memorable.... David Papi, his mother and staff are truly committed to making your overall Tuscan experience the best possible. His restaurant was so good (Michelin level cuisine) that we ate dinner there 4 nights in a row. Cortona, Montepulciano, Montalcino and the surrounding countryside were easy to drive around. We went on to Florence, Venice and Rome; however, no hotel experience could compare to David's Corte de Papi! Can't wait for a return stay!

Fabulous get away in a most charming Tuscan Inn

My wife and I were charmed by the beautiful Tuscan Inn a outside of Cortona . Corte dei Papi is the ancestral home of David Papi , who hosted us like we were his house guests. The house is beautiful , the room was very spacious and David could not be more helpful and accommodating to satisfy all our needs from restaurants , directions , wine tastings and sites to visit . It was a true relaxing , romantic and restful getaway . It felt like we were truly David Papi 's house guests in his beautiful home . We will return !!
