Fine dining redefined within the sacred halls of a 15th-century monastery
The Atmosphere
Located inside an ancient 15th-century monastery, the restaurant welcomes its guests in what was once the solemn refectory of the monks, a place where silence and conviviality merged in a sacred and regenerating atmosphere.
Crossing the threshold of Gli Affreschi restaurant is not just the beginning of a gastronomic experience, but a real journey back in time. Located inside an ancient 15th-century monastery, the restaurant welcomes its guests in what was once the solemn refectory of the monks, a place where silence and conviviality merged in a sacred and regenerating atmosphere.
Rising on the highest point of Cortona, the Monastery occupies a place steeped in history. Known since Roman times for its abundant waters—a large cistern called "Bagno di Bacco" once stood here—this place has been a sanctuary for centuries.
