Our 7 intimate and comfortable rooms are the perfect location to fully experience the magic and beauty of Cortona, Tuscany & Umbria. Just like a private home, our Inn offers guests the ability to experience a romantic getaway or combine other rooms at the inn for a wonderful time to share with family or friends.
The entire experience of your stay has been crafted to provide you with the warmest hospitality, full of special little touches to create an overall environment that welcomes everyone who passes through our door as “amici”, or friends.
We created a place for new and for long-time friends that will leave its mark on your heart, long after you depart.
The name, like everything about the experience, was carefully chosen as La Locanda agli Amici. In English this means “the friends’ Inn.”
Set on top of a hill in a quiet area just outside the walls of Cortona, Locanda agli Amici has 7 rooms equipped with all the comforts of home. Each is unique in style and size but all reflect an ambience of friendship and coziness, providing guests an opportunity to spend quality time together, as a couple or as a group.
The panoramic views of the valley below Cortona (the “Valdichiana”) and the surrounding hills of nearby Umbria and Lake Trasimeno will greet guests from the windows of many of our guest rooms. These views are yours to discover each morning and evening as beautiful artwork on your walls. For all of our guests, the glimpses of the Tuscan landscape from our common areas - the breakfast room, our terrace and our swimming pool will simply take your breath away.
These shared amenities are the finishing touches that create an atmosphere of true friendship, where each guest is the center of our attention and feels totally “at home.”
The breakfast service is an important “pampering” provided for our friends. With the arrival of warm weather, breakfast will move from the panoramic views of our inside breakfast room to our terraces overlooking the beauty of Tuscany & Umbria.
La Locanda agli Amici: an enchanting environment where time slows down, a place to take a moment for oneself to breathe and relax.
Welcome to the Locanda, where you will discover much more than just a cooking school.
Our aim is to immerse you in an authentic Tuscan cooking experience, involving not only our personal passion but also the natural beauty of the place, the terroir and unique raw materials all set within the enchantment of an open window onto the Valdichiana. Our professionally equipped kitchen will support the emotions you will feel once you put your hands to pasta.
Upon request, we can provide an iron and ironing board, a baby package (crib/cot, bottle warmer and bottle, sterilizer, high chair, changing table, play mat, toys & books, small bathtub for bathing) and a pet package (pet bed, bowl, toys).
Locanda agli Amici is located just a few steps from the center of Cortona, which can be reached on foot along a quiet and panoramic road.
Take the A1 Florence/Rome motorway, use the Valdichiana exit; continue on the Siena/Perugia expressway (Perugia direction) and then take the Cortona exit. Once in Camucia, continue towards Cortona center (centro) and continue on the SP 34 towards Piazza Mazzini. Follow the signs for the Sanctuary of Santa Margherita.
