We saw several rooms, and all were pretty much over-decorated in an antique style. The manager, David Papi, is very charming and attentive, and is working very hard to make this a high end destination, which it is not, at least not yet. But it is very good, and the fixed price dinner is better than very good. The clientele... More

Upon arrival at La Corte dei Papi we felt at home. The staff was very kind and helpful but David Papi's genuine and welcoming personality is really the highlight of this place. From the recommendations for day trips, restaurants in the area and wineries to visit, everything was spot on. Perhaps the most incredible surprise was the restaurant -- we... More

I traveled with my daughter and granddaughter, three generations exploring the sites of Italy. Relais "La Corte dei Papi" was a exquisite property with an amazing host, David, who made his home our home for four fabulous days. His accommodations and restaurant are beautiful and inviting. Breakfasts were just as appealing as the delicious evening meals. He truly made us... More

David runs this gem of a hotel and restaurant in Pergo, and it's a home from home for those who stay there. The new spa rooms promise to increase the appeal even more and I can't wait for them to open soon! The restaurant serves amazing fresh and innovative Tuscan food and David's range of wines are interesting and unusual.... More

David is an outstanding host. He made us feel truly welcome in his 'home'. The pride he has in this beautiful homestead, which has been in his family for years, exuded as he gave us a tour of the various rooms. We had a fabulous meal in the restaurant. The food is 5 star all the way and David offered... More

La Corte dei Papi was an absolutely amazing experience. My wife and I stayed there for four nights in September 2012 as part of lengthier Italy tour and we could not have been more impressed with the whole experience. First and foremost, the Owner/Manager David made you truly feel like an honored guest and that he was genuinely happy to... More

Returned from this magnificent charming hotel a short time ago and brought back with me many good receipes and wonderful memories. I cooked for 3 mornings with Giuseppe & Carla to prepare our meal for that evening! What fun-didn't know I could be such a good cook. Our Tuscan room was quiet, meticulous, spacious and just perfect!
