The country seat of a noble Cortonese family, this charming hamlet is the perfect recipe for a classic Tuscan vacation. In close proximity to the most fascinating towns of central Italy, renowned for their artistic beauty, such as Florence, Arezzo, Siena and Perugia, Il Sodo is in the valley below Cortona, the oldest Etruscan settlement in Tuscany. Borgo Il Sodo is surrounded by the most typical Tuscan countryside creating a unique and compelling setting.

This elegant and charming complex has both hotel rooms and apartments to suit all types of holiday makers. It is a place full of magic for a stylish and elegant, as well as extremely comfortable and relaxing, stay.

The restoration of the hamlet has been carried out with the uttermost respect for the original architectural features. The Borgo included a manor surrounded by a group of smaller farmhouses where the products of the land, such as oil, grapes, and wheat were collected and processed.

Original building materials have been cleverly reused thus combining the typical atmosphere of a traditional agricultural settlement with state-of-the-art facilities suited to the needs of our times.

The hotel has twelve wide double rooms and there are eight spacious self catering apartments slightly away from the hotel but sharing the pool and gardens. A laundry room and mountain bikes are available for guests use free of charge. There is ample external parking and inside parking available for a small additional fee. All apartments feature: independent heating system, linen and towels, satellite TV, telephone, internet access, american coffee machine and electric oven.
 

When you arrive at Borgo Il Sodo, you will behold a vast stretch of bright green fields, with an area of almost 9 acres, partially covered by lively patches of flowers ranging from the deep red of rose beds to the delicate purple of lavender shrubs and the dark green of rosemary bushes spreading a lovely scent. There is an amazing orchard with 25 different types of fruit trees.
