About the Hotel
Just an hour or so southeast of Florence, the magnificent medieval village of Cortona provides an ethereal setting for Villa Marsili. This exquisite establishment is one of the town's most elegant residences, and a favorite of celebrities such as Diane Lane and Josh Brolin, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Geoffrey Rush. Villa Marsili is truly an enchanting Italian retreat, boasting refined lounges and frescoed bedrooms whose atmosphere retain the grace of the building's original historic character. From public sitting rooms, views embrace the scenic pergolas of the outdoor gardens, and from your elegantly furnished accommodations you can gaze across the gentle rolling hills of Valdichiana.

Reviews for Villa Marsili
Wonderful stay, highly recommend
We stayed two nights at the end of a cycling tour of Tuscany and enjoyed every minute. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and the facility was lovely. Our room was comfortable and well appointed, and everything was very clean and well kept. Breakfast was delicious and we also enjoyed happy hour and complimentary cookies at the bar in the evening. The location was perfect - just at the edge of the historic town but a comfortable walk to the sites and attractions. I would highly recommend this place to stay when visiting Cortona or Tuscany.

Excellent hotel, great staff
We spent four wonderful days in Cortona, and the Villa Marsili hotel. We got a spacious, beautifully furnished room with a great view on the valley, comfortable bed, excellent breakfast and complementary apperitives at evenings. But the most of all we loved warm service provided by the staff : attentive, professional, helpful. Just one detail: We booked a non-refundable room but had to change dates due to the flight cancelation. The hotel kindly agreed to change the booking without any additional fees. Thank you for that!

Best hotel I've ever stayed at
This is genuinely my favourite hotel I have ever had the pleasure of staying in. The level of service and friendliness of the staff are next to none. Our room had the most spectacular views of the Tuscan countryside. The breakfast spread is the best I have ever had - with scrumptious pastries, fresh pancakes, hot food and large variety of vegetarian options too. The family that run this hotel are so incredibly friendly and accomodating. Cannot fault it at all. I hope to come back some day.

We just returned from a trip to Italy where we stayed at 3 Luxury Link properties. Although all three were wonderful, our favorite was Villa Marsili in Cortona. The villa was small and charming, in a wonderful location. Our deluxe room had wide windows that opened to a view over the old walls and cliffs to all of Tuscany including a glorious lake. The breakfasts were the best I have ever eaten - raspberry filled fresh croissants every morning, aperitifs in the afternoon and drinks waiting at night. But it was the staff that made the stay so special. They were all incredible.

My husband and I recently stayed for a week at the Villa Marsili in Cortona, Italy. On a scale of one to ten we give it a fifteen. It was lovely. The hotel has been beautifully restored with the utmost care. It was beautiful as well as comfortable and spotlessly clean. The staff were professional but warm, and extremely helpful. Everytime I entered the door it felt like I was coming home. When we left it was like leaving family who I would not see for a long time. I cannot emphasize enough just how nice this hotel is - not just inside, the outside courtyard and entrance was also inviting. The breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented every morning and the evening aperitifs also offered a welcome time to sit and visit with other guests, and relax after a day of touring before going out to dinner. We looked forward to it each evening. We would definitely stay at The Villa Marsili again.
