Hotel picture

  

In close proximity to the most fascinating towns of central Italy, renowned for their artistic beauty, such as Florence, Arezzo, Siena and Perugia, in the valley below Cortona, the oldest Etruscan settlement, surrounded by the most typical Tuscan countryside… this is the unique setting of Borgo Il Melone.

Our elegant and charming hotel has twelve wide double rooms equipped with private bathroom with bathtub and shower, minibar, satellite TV, hairdryer, air-conditioning, safe, telephone and ADSL.

A place full of magic for a stylish and elegant, as well as extremely comfortable and relaxing, stay.

Our eight spacious apartments are located where a little settlement once stood in the 19th century. The restoration of the set of buildings has been carried out with the uttermost respect for the original architectural features. The Borgo included a manor surrounded by a group of smaller farmhouses where the products of the land, such as oil, grapes, and wheat were collected and processed.

Original building materials have been cleverly restored and reused thus combining the typical atmosphere of a traditional agricultural settlement with state-of-the-art facilities suited to the needs of our times.

Facilities

In close proximity to the most fascinating towns of central Italy, renowned for their artistic beauty, such as Florence, Arezzo, Siena and Perugia, in the valley below Cortona, the oldest Etruscan settlement, surrounded by the most typical Tuscan countryside… this is the unique setting of Borgo Il Melone.

Our elegant and charming hotel has twelve wide double rooms equipped with private bathroom with bathtub and shower, minibar, satellite TV, hairdryer, air-conditioning, safe, telephone and ADSL.

A quiet reserved area of the Borgo is the location of the swimming pool, 65.6 by 32.8 feet long. Our state-of-the-art swimming pool is equipped with a relaxing whirlpool area, is watched by a lifeguard and has showers and a changing room.

Plunge into its clear water, surrounded by the green hills that enclose it and enjoy superb serenity and relaxation. The swimming pool is open from May 15th to September 10th.

During the entire summer period, our guests are served a colorful brunch with a rich buffet right beside the swimming pool.

When you arrive at Borgo Il Melone, you will behold a vast stretch of bright green fields, with an area of almost 9 acres, partially covered by lively patches of flowers ranging from the deep red of rose beds to the delicate purple of lavender shrubs and the dark green of rosemary bushes spreading a lovely scent.

Our love for nature and our strong ties with the wonderful land where we live drove us to plant an orchard with 25 different types of fruit trees.

The air is alive with the perfume of lavender that we use to make the potpourri to decorate the interiors of the apartments. Borgo Il Melone is filled with the colors, perfumes and gifts of the luscious, authentic, lively and welcoming nature of our land.

Dining & Entertainment

The Borgo offers two different premises for those who wish to taste local food: a Restaurant and a Tavern-Wine Bar.

Designed to meet the different needs of our customers - be it an elegant and refined dinner to celebrate a special occasion or a light meal in a homely and cozy environment - the food selection of both premises boasts recipes that are colorful and tasty, prepared according to the local cooking tradition and seasoned with a touch of originality.

According to the season, you will have the chance to sample the different flavors of the land, complemented by a selection of wines from our cellar. If you wish to discover the secrets of our most traditional recipes, we can organize cookery courses on request.
