How to reach us
The Monastery awaits you at the hilltop, embraced by the city’s ancient Etruscan walls.
Via del Salvatore, the road that leads to us, is a dive into history, with its characteristic narrow streets that tell centuries of Cortona’s life.
If you plan to reach us by car, we recommend that you prepare for a unique experience! Our narrow streets, jewels of Etruscan heritage, are perfect for small cars that move nimbly through the alleys.
For a serene arrival, we suggest you set your navigator to Piazza Mazzini, 52044 Cortona. From there, you can admire the striking final route in our short welcome video. The directions provided by satellite navigators, in fact, may not take into account the limitations of the historic center and lead you on less suitable routes.

For your convenience, we offer a private garage at a cost of €25.00 per day, with the option to charge your electric car thanks to our Porsche Destination Charging stations with Wall Box. We recommend booking your parking space in advance to ensure availability. If needed, we will be happy to arrange a luggage transfer service for you from the public parking areas outside the city of Cortona through a taxi service. This service must be requested and booked in advance to avoid potential unavailability of taxis. We also organize transfers to and from our hotel from major airports/train stations with private cars and drivers.
Park your car outside the Etruscan city walls. The nearest public parking place is “Piazza Mazzini” at 120 m walking distance from the hotel. There are 3 options, two parking slots area with white lines free of charge and one on payment with blue lines (€ 1.50 per/h payment machine with coins or through Easypark app) Then, step through Porta Colonia, the ancient Etruscan gateway to the city, located directly opposite the Piazza Mazzini parking area. From here, let the gentle cobblestones of Via Tarconte, the second street on the left, guide you as it winds through charming historical residences. The street then becomes Via del Salvatore, where the Monastero di Cortona will welcome you with its discreet beauty, halfway up on the right-hand side.
In the evening, a pleasant short stroll will lead you to the delightful restaurants that enliven the heart of Cortona, where you can savor the authentic flavors of Tuscany. The return to the Monastery, through streets illuminated by the moon, may require a few brief pauses to admire the panorama and catch your breath. However, as our guests recount, the magic of the place, the promise of serene rest after admiring the most beautiful sunsets, and waking to the song of birds, more than compensate for any small effort.
