A historic building that served as the residence for the Marquis of Monte St. Maria family, as well as the Palace of Justice in the 13th century, hosts nowadays the Hotel San Michele. Located in the heart  of the Etruscan-medieval town of Cortona, it represents a slice of the history that stretches back to the 11th century. This elegantly restored Renaissance palace, was originally a rectangular structure, which underwent major modifications,  of which the remnants can still be seen in some areas. Even though, it still remains as a charming 16th stately home, with vaults and fired brick floors that have been preserved and  furniture harmonizing perfectly, with the antique architecture. Its 50 bedrooms are uniquely and tastefully decorated,  with  exposed wooden beams, and some with  skylight windows with wonderful views of rooftops, landscapes and the hotel's interior courtyard.
This beautiful and stylish hotel is an ideal  base  to explore the wonderful hill town of Cortona with a typically Italian charm and historic ambience.
